Synopsis:
In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, honest cleaning service owner Chak hits tough times as a terrible economy and a dearth of supplies threatens his business. In need of an assistant, he hires Candy, a young single mother with a penchant for stealing. The two slowly forge a bond, but the cruel realities of the pandemic loom on the horizon. Painfully timely but also tender in parts, Lam Sum’s film is a poignant portrait of what happens when modern poverty is further exacerbated by an unprecedented calamity. It’s a remarkably assured directorial effort enhanced by moving performances.

在這城市的陰暗角落裡，有人相信總會等到一線曙光。清潔公司東主窄哥，人到中年仍為生計掙扎，人生算不上成功。因為需要幫手，他僱用了曾是不良少女的單親媽媽Candy。疫情初期，在被社會遺忘的角落，在塵埃、細菌與消毒藥水飛舞的環境下，活在社會邊緣的二人相知相識，滋長出微妙感情，直至Candy過去為生存養成的偷竊習性，差點毀了窄哥的一切……為何對人生的憧憬與現實總有落差？兩個有傷口的人又可以怎樣互相扶持？
