家庭傭工的社群在澳門往往只是一個不被注視的背景。我在家傭的陪伴下長大的經歷啟發我關注外來家庭傭工及其對家庭的貢獻。

製作這部紀錄片的主要挑戰是要找到願意參與並取得她信任的對象。我花了四個多月時間進行研究，我追訪了三位不同的女性，捕捉她們的日常生活並多次採訪她們。

這部紀錄片從三個不同的家庭傭工的角度記錄了不同的故事。她們分享了她們的工作經驗和奉獻精神，為她們的家庭提供一個充滿希望的未來。

Macau has a very vivid domestic helper community that is often in the background. My experience growing up with a helper inspired me to shine a light on the migrant domestic workers and their contribution to a home. 

The main challenge of creating this documentary was finding women willing to participate and to earn their trust.  At the same time, I dedicated time to research the subject. For four months, I followed three different women capturing their daily routine and interviewing them on multiple occasions. 

This documentary chronicles diverse stories from the perspective of three different domestic helpers.  Each sharing their work experiences and dedication to provide a hopeful future for their family.]
