In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is precious, some marginalized people have no homes to live in and are forced to sleep in beds within dilapidated buildings. These elderly, weak, sick, and disabled individuals are separated by barbed wire and are referred to as "caged residents." Among them, Mr. Zu (played by Qiao Hong) has a mentally disabled son (played by Liao Qizhi) who spends his days playing and fooling around. Tang San (played by Teddy Robin) is a petty opportunist with a sharp tongue. An elderly man celebrates his hundredth birthday in the cage, continuing to sell goods to make a living, while a fortune teller mutters useless incantations all day long. When a murder occurs in the area, the police come to investigate but are unable to alter the dire situation. At this time, gangster Maozi (played by Huang Jiaju) is released from prison, disregarding his CID father's reprimands, and reunites with his old gang, moving into the cage. Shortly thereafter, the apartment management informs the residents that the owner wants to reclaim the building, requesting that all tenants move out, which incites public outrage. The caged residents begin to appeal to the candidates Xu and Zhou, who are running for election, and the latter pretend to understand the people's plight to win favor. Secretly, Councilor Xu colludes with the owner, offering a hefty sum to bribe Maozi and trick the caged residents into signing a voluntary eviction. The film won Best Picture and Best Screenplay at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards. Zhang Zhiqiang won Best Director, and Qiao Hong won Best Supporting Actor.
