以这个对比来比喻老人院最适当不过。你可以说老人院聚集了一堆对社会已毫无贡献的“杂品”,但你也可以说里头的长老们个个都是曾经为社会有所付出的精品。这就是老人院,这就是佛跳墙。

Cologne (Bryan Wong), a washed-up and out-of-love scriptwriter ends up at a home for the elderly as a caretaker/janitor. He unwittingly turns the place inside out, and transforms everyone’s life in the process. He encourages the old folks to relive and pursue their dreams, turning the austere and oppressive home into a vibrant and colourful place. In return, the old folks work together to help Cologne realize his dream.
Follow the misadventures of Cologne and five colourful denizens of the home - Xiao Bai Long (Marcus Chin), Han Lao Shi (Li Wenhai), Xiao Ming (Henry Thia), Tian Cai (Tang Hu) and Ge Ge (Henry Heng). Along the way, he antagonizes, but is also attracted to the young and beautiful Miss Lim (Kym Ng), the director of the home who administers a strict set of regulations.
