A paralyzed and hopeless Hong Kong man, Leung Cheong-wing, meets his new Filipina domestic worker Evelyn Santos, a former nurse who has put her dream of being a photographer on hold and come to the city to earn a living.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2019 film by Oliver Chan Siu Kuen” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q62989907. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018 and 2019.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
