H, a young domestic worker who plans to run from Hong Kong towards her dreams of independence, romantic love, and freedom. Through a balanced look at her relationships with her host family, children, and her fellow domestic-worker friends, the film aims to show the wider world the grace these women display under immense hardship. A photo-montage love letter to the Filipina Domestic Workers of Hong Kong.
