The Dishwasher Squad
Hong Kong / 2021 / 90 min
In Cantonese with Chinese and English subtitles

After seeing yet another of his ham-fisted start-ups go belly up, slacker-scion Kuen is lured by his best friend, Lun, to buy up a dishwashing business. When they realise the deal’s a scam, they decide to pull a quick one too: they sign up mentally disabled people to the payroll to pocket subsidies from the government. But with the help of a tenacious social worker, this motley crew thrive thanks to their compassion and a lot of hard work.

Scriptwriter Toni Shum Sek-yin’s directorial debut is an inspiring fact-based tale about the importance of giving everyone a chance to be their best selves. Acting together for the first time, Cheng and Jen make a winning team in this breezy local comedy.
