Film Synopsis:

“Money and Honey” is an Asian epic documentary on migrant workers spanning thirteen years. Both the Filipino caretakers and the elderly suffer from homesickness in the Taipei nursing home. The caretakers comfort themselves by singing “No money, no honey”. What price do they have to pay for love and livelihood? Can their dreams ever come true?
