A Very Short Life (VCD) (Hong Kong Version) VCD

Category-III criminal drama A Very Short Life tackles the subject of domestic violence, particularly child abuse and sexual molestation which are commonly found in Hong Kong's newspaper headlines but rarely represented on the cinema screen. The controversial film, written and directed by Dennis Law (Fatal Move), draws from true events to tell a poignant tale of how violence begets more violence at home.

Former child actress Leila Tong sheds her girl-next-door image to play a mom-next-door who mercilessly beat her own child to death, opposite star actress Maggie Shiu's policewoman who abuses her authority to give vent to her pent-up frustration towards an unjust society. Among their co-stars are Samuel Pang, Pinky Cheung, TVB actresses Koni Lui, Shermon Tang, and Yoyo Law, with cameos by Eddie Cheung, Hui Siu Hung, and Crystal Cheung (Hotcha).

Police commissioner Josephine (Maggie Shiu) is on the case of a young woman named Becky (Leila Tong) who is charged for murdering her 11-year-old daughter (Yoyo Law). Under interrogation, Becky confesses to the charge, but denies that she allowed her live-in boyfriend (Samuel Pang) to rape her daughter. Josephine and her subordinates (Pinky Cheung, Koni Lui, and Shermon Tang) have to resort to torture to get the whole truth out of her...

"A woman is born to give her body to men; her father or strangers should make no difference."

Respectable Police Commissioner Josephine reinvestigates an insignificant murder case of a 11 years old girl. The murderer is the mother of the victim, Becky. Under intense interrogation, Becky refused to admit that she knew all along that her boyfriend was raping her little daughter at home. The harsh interrogation drives Becky into killing herself. What is the truth that the raging Commissioner is trying to find out? What is the seemingly defenseless mother hiding? Or is she acually telling the truth?

Is the phrase, "A woman is born to give her body to men." the whole truth?
