The Lucky Woman

Synopsis

Tsao-yun paid an 8,000 USD recruitment fee and ran away before her 3-year contract was due. Wei-shing is also a ‘runaway’ who dealt with his homesickness by painting on the wall. Why running away? To make more money or to pursue better opportunities? The film presents the life of runaway migrant workers through Tsao-yun’s and Wei-shing’s narratives, showing how they risk their life working illegally, hoping to better support their families and change their own futures.
