The homeless are not without "homes," but they lack the rights to protect their most basic human dignity and are arbitrarily evicted. The protagonist, Granny Lai Yuen-King, was a rare elderly scavenger among them who possessed a beautiful soul but ultimately died without dignity on the streets. This short film was dedicated to all the homeless.
