In Hong Kong, where land is extremely valuable, some lower-class individuals have no homes and can only find a place to sleep in dilapidated buildings. These elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people are separated by wire fences and are referred to as "caged people." Among them, Mr. Zu (played by Qiao Hong) has a mentally challenged son (played by Liao Qizhi) who spends his days playing and causing mischief. Tang San (played by Teddy Robin) is a petty schemer with a sharp tongue. An old man spends his centenary in a cage, selling groceries to make a living, while a fortune teller chants all day to no avail. A murder occurs in this area, and the police come to investigate but are unable to change the dire situation. At this time, gangster Mao Zai (played by Huang Jiaju) is released from prison, disregarding his CID father's reprimands, and reunites with old gangmates, moving into the cage. The apartment management informs tenants that the owner wishes to reclaim the building and hopes everyone can move out, provoking public outrage. The caged people begin to appeal to councilors Xu and Zhou, who, in an effort to win favor, pretend to empathize with the public. Behind the scenes, councilor Xu colludes with the property owner, using heavy payments to bribe Mao Zai, tricking the caged people into voluntarily signing agreements to move out... This film won the Best Picture and Best Screenplay at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards. Zhang Zhiqiang won Best Director, and Qiao Hong won Best Supporting Actor.
