浊水漂流
Just out of jail, Fai finds a spot on a street corner where other homeless people welcome him. But he doesn’t get much time to settle in. The police soon chase them away, and their possessions disappear into a garbage truck. Young social worker Ms. Ho thinks it’s time to fight this in court. In the meantime, Fai and his friends have other concerns.
