Despite being afflicted with cerebral palsy, Mui tries to lead a normal life, hanging out with her friends and making paintings. When her friend recommends her to an organization that offers sexual services for the disabled, she goes on a journey of emotional and physical emancipation.  

Hong Kong has been buzzing about the transformative performance by Fish Liew in Tam Wai-ching’s sensitive tale of bodily autonomy and unlikely romance. Liew injects strength and tenacity into her performance as a woman who refuses to be patronized with sympathy and control disguised as care. Carlos Chan also gives a career-best performance as a volunteer with a painful past.
