New writer-director Oliver Chan's comedy-drama Still Human reveals a slice of Hong Kong life through its warm depiction of the bond between a Filipino domestic helper and her grouchy disabled employer. Produced by Fruit Chan, the film shines a light on the experiences of migrant workers and those on the socioeconomic margins in Hong Kong. Anthony Wong won Best Actor at the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards for his performance as the middle-aged wheelchair user who gradually warms to his new helper. Still Human also garnered Best New Director for Oliver Chan and Best New Actor for leading actress Crisel Consunji. Crabby middle-aged pensioner Cheong Wing (Anthony Wong), who became paralyzed after a construction accident, uses a wheelchair and needs assistance in his daily life. His new domestic helper Evelyn (Crisel Consunji) is a former nurse and aspiring photographer who left a bad marriage and has come to Hong Kong to make money for her family. The two get off to a bad start due to the language barrier and Cheong Wing's cantankerous, nitpicking personality, but over time, they begin to bond. These two people who have lost their hope and dreams unexpectedly find a kindred soul in each other.
