Since dropping out from the medical school, Lau Mack has been living a humble but contented life, running a small clinic in a shabby area, treating local inhabitants and poor prostitutes working there. One night, he escorts an injured gun robber to the government hospital, where he unexpectedly meets his old friend from college time, Dr. Jaw, now a reputed surgeon with an aspiration for senior management. To Jaw's bitter surprise, he finds himself outshone by Lau's medical talent and kindness to patients. Jaw is however determined to speed up his career ascent at the expense of Lau. His plots work perfectly, until an accident delivers his life to the mercy of Lau.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film deftly blends drama and dark comedy, pitting cynical careerism against genuine compassion in the medical field. The clash between two former friends becomes a compelling study of contrasting morals, where medical skill is both a weapon and a salvation.

What lingers after the credits roll is a sharp commentary on the price of ambition and the unexpected ways life can restore balance. The narrative delivers both tension and thoughtful irony, making the hospital setting a stage for human frailty and resilience. — MovieFinder Editorial
