    • Synopsis
    • Lao Yang is by no means a good husband and father. A man in his 60s who had his fair share of success but went bankrupt years ago, he has since gone wayward and is tabbed as the Old Beast. By hooking on gambling, keeping a mistress, having a fallout with his family, neglecting his bedridden wife, etc, he truly lives up to his nickname and shows no sign of remorse. When he steals the money his family gathers for his wife’s surgery, he sets himself on a path of self-destruction with no turning back.
