In Hong Kong, many poor people need to work hard to survive. They earn tiny wages. Their costs of living are expensive too, which they dont have enough money to spend other things, even take 2 jobs a day.

Hong Kong has a right wing politic, so many poor HongKongese don't get the chance to have normal life.

i think this animation is really good. It perfectly describes how pointless our lives really are, full of meaningless tasks... and just when you think youre about done more crops up... even when you are falling off the building you will get ordered back to stuff. Its true that we make our lives as hard as they are by ourselves but there are many outside modifiers.

咁長既片段，只不過交代左一個女子長時間工作，辛苦到想死都唔得­。作者用左誇張既手法去表達一種無可奈何的情感，但很多場景和分­鏡都有待改進，節奏可變得更明快，因為想表達的意思其實很簡單，­完全沒必要用上這麼多畫面。

@lainiwakura The story takes place in Hong Kong, not Japan.

@mangosalado Not all animations are from Japan= =

It is from Hong Kong, a poor city, I think..
