Under the Eaves: The Story of Ah King (1978)

Directed by Ming Wai-yi

Overview

The Story of Ah King could be summarised in four words, “meeting the wrong guy”, but Joyce has created a most poignant episode, one that has dialogue peppered with lively slang. Ah King (Louise Lee), who tries hard to break off from her jammed public housing life, gets married, only ending up in another abusive relationship. Given her circumstances, Ah King really doesn’t have much choices. Both episodes feature superb scripts and stunning performances.
