Still Human

Paralyzed and disgruntled Cheong-wing (veteran actor Anthony Wong) has gone through quite a few caretakers when he gets new Filipino domestic helper, Evelyn (Crisel Consunji). The only problem is Cheong-wing is unreasonably mean, and Evelyn doesn’t speak a word of Cantonese. Yet somehow as the unlikely duo begin to warm up to each other, a bond forms that may transcend stereotypes and change them both in ways they never imagined. Shining a light on the often invisible community of Filipino (and often Indonesian) domestic workers in Hong Kong, Still Human is a buddy comedy with an inspiring twist.
