When Ah Tao (Deanie Ip), a servant to the Leung family for nearly 60 years, suffers a stroke, she decides to quit her job and move into a local nursing home. The man she cared for since he was a boy, Roger (Andy Lau), takes it upon himself to help her adjust to her new life, which involves getting to know her new nursing home family, a motley crew of unique and quirky residents. As Ah Taos health deteriorates, roles reverse, with Roger now taking charge of her care. Named one of the Year's Best Films by Roger Ebert in his final year of life. From director Ann Hui. In Cantonese with English Subtitles.
With many middle class families having helpers taking care of children at homes for working parents, this is a heartwarming and moving movie about domestic relationship and generation bonds and devotion beyond bloodline.
