12 Storeys 十二樓

A fastidious elder brother attempts to assert control over his rebellious siblings while their parents are away. A spinster bears the brunt of her verbally abusive mother. A middle-aged cuckold awaits his wife’s return. In the 24 hours following a young mans suicide, a government flat comes alive with drama, captured in vignettes of the seemingly prosaic, yet deeply tragic existence of those dwelling in public housing.
