Nine Lives

Bee Lian, a 15-year-old orphan is being raised by her poor and hardworking grandparents. She has insecurities about her poverty - the rundown shack she lives in, the clothes she wears, the tuition classes that she cannot afford unlike other friends.

Feeling alone, she shares her problems and her most outrageous dreams with a mangy yellow cat who lives next door. Unknowingly, her seemingly distant and non-committal grandfather listens in to all of her outpouring.
