      About the Film

      Ah Suet has been fighting for her right of abode for the last thirty years despite all her family members having long been Hong Kong citizens. She travels frequently between Fujian and Hong Kong to care for her two Hong Kong–born children. Along the way, we meet two of Suet’s best friends in Fujian, both with their own marital problems.
