[Synopsis]
Tin Shui Wai, dubbed “the city of sadness” by the media, is just another average community when it falls into Ann Hui’s hands. The Way We Are follows the day-to-day routine of a widowed mother and her teenage son living in public housing, with nothing more special than work, school, hospital visits, and dinner. Its documentary-like approach yet lends tremendous force to this extraordinary tale about ordinary people: the greatness and perseverance of a humble mother, and the mutual support between ordinary people in times of difficulty.
