Social Worker: Ah Sze (1976)

Ah Sze (Cecilia Wong Hang-sau) abandons the country for city life, but fails to find refuge from her relatives in Macau and Hong Kong. Writer Joyce Chan realistically portrays a teenaged girl whose choices are finite if she wants to survive. We see Ah Sze in one scene, an innocent girl still in pigtails, in stark contrast with the next scene after she has lost her virginity. It creates an emotional impact that is more than heart-wrecking.
