The Happy Trio

Following the lives of three downtrodden but resilient outcasts, John Lo Mar’s gritty social drama paints a sense of realism rarely seen in Hon Kong movies.
Ah Chiao is a girl from a rural village stranded in the city, who befriends a kind-hearted transient and a retired actor. They are poor, but they are happy. Although her fortune changes for the better when she becomes a singer, she ultimately learns money can’t buy happiness.
