Heat Room (2019)

Cheung Sha Wan, an old district of Hong Kong, is now undergoing redevelopment. Aging buildings were replaced with modern ones that are not affordable for most of the people who lived in the area. Some of the old buildings house many more than they were designed for. An apartment may be subdivided into around 10 rooms with wooden boards. This film documents the daily life of the tenants of one of these buildings.
