Happiness

In Happiness, Chan Kai-yuk moves from Guangzhou to Hong Kong after the death of his mother, seeking his estranged father. Upon discovering his father's new life, Yuk finds himself homeless and is taken in by Auntie Fen, a reclusive woman with a solitary lifestyle. Their initial clashes, stemming from Yuk's self-centeredness and Fen's peculiarities, set the stage for profound character development.

As Yuk learns that Fen is in the early stages of Alzheimer's, he begins to evolve from a self-absorbed individual into a caring friend. This relationship serves as a poignant backdrop for exploring the complexities of memory and connection, highlighting the irony of their circumstances. The film's portrayal of dementia offers a thoughtful examination of how such a diagnosis can shape relationships and personal growth.
