Wan Chan

This early leftist social drama from Hong Kong offers a panoramic portrait of a crumbling apartment complex and its down-and-out denizens, including a taxi driver, an unemployed teacher, a professional reduced to selling his blood and, of course, a venal landlord. In addition to establishing an omnipresent theme in Hong Kong cinema – the plight of the urban poor – the film is also a prime example of the popular melodramas of the time, which featured displaced Mainland film stars.

The delinquent gang 'The Seven Brigands' consists of the unruly rich heir Peter Ko, sister Connie, classmates Lisa, B.B. Jane and sister Angel, Tommy and Tong Wong. The good-natured Peter and Lisa want to put the gang back on the right track, but with Lisa falling out with the group following a row, Peter reverts to his former self.
