‘Cageman’ follows the varied residents of a ‘low-income housing building’. The said habitation is, quite simply, individual cages for these men who are struggling to scrape together a living while the city ignores their squalid existence. Each tenant has their own reason for being in their cage and their own sense of pride and dignity: Tong (Robin) is a seller of fraudulent medicines whose gambling has left him with virtually nothing; Koo (Chiao) is the unofficial spokesman for the group who looks after his mentally-challenged son (Liu Kai-Chi); ‘7-11’ is the oldest resident, never leaving his cage yet helped by loyal friend Sissy (Wong) who lives below him; Taoist is the philosophy-spouting former teacher who has fallen on hard times.
