Oom, an undocumented Thai migrant in rural Taiwan, works as a caregiver for the elderly and disabled. He has to deal with suspicious employers, restricted mobility, withheld wages, and fellow migrants who question his complicit relationship with his exploitative boss. Torn between complying in hopes of eventually receiving his delayed pay, or maintaining his dignity, Oom must navigate his difficult circumstances to survive.
