Happiness (2016): Cast, Box Office & Plot

After the death of his mother, Chan Kai-yuk leaves Guangzhou for Hong Kong in search of his father, a man who abandoned the family and started anew elsewhere. Facing unemployment at a restaurant and an inability to pay his rent, Chan finds himself without a home and suddenly vulnerable to the city’s hard edges. While he sleeps on the streets, a kind gesture from Kam, a chef at the Beloved Community Centre that aims to support people in need, offers him a lifeline. Kam does not just offer shelter; he points Chan toward a possible chance at steady work, but there’s a catch: Chan must first present a proof of address to qualify for a job at the centre.
