Based on real people and events, CHUNG Chun-Tao has worked as an amah-a servant- for the Leung family. Now, after 60 years of service, she is looking after Roger, who works in the film industry and is the only member of the family still resident in Hong Kong. 

 

One day Roger comes home from work to find that Tao has suffered from a stroke. He rushes her to hospital, where she announces that she wants to quit her job and move into a nursing home. 

 

Roger researches the possibilities and finds her a room in an establishment run by an old friend. Tao moves in and begins acquainting herself with a new 'family':the brisk but fundamentally kind supervisor Ms Choi and a motley crew of elderly residents, including the dapper Uncle Kin, the jealous Auntie-Kam, the erudite "Headmaster'and the good-hearted dialysis patient Mui Gu. 

 

Giving ever more time and attention to Tao's needs and pleasures, Roger comes to realize how much she means to him. But Tao's health begins to deteriorate rapidly...
