A Very Short Life is a 2009 Hong Kong drama film written, produced and directed by Dennis Law Sau-yiu (羅守耀). It is Dennis's fifth feature film as a writer and director. Based on TRUE STORY, the film centered on child abuse and child molestation, the film stars Maggie Shiu Mei-kei (邵美琪) as Josephine Wong, a Hong Kong Assistant Commissioner of Police who investigates the murder of an 11-year-old girl at the hands of her abusive mother, Becky Lee (江麗娜 Leila Kong Lai-na).
"A woman is born to give her body to men; her father or strangers should make no difference." Respectable Police Commissioner Josephine (Maggie) reinvestigates an insignificant murder case of a 11 years old girl. The murderer is the mother of the victim, Becky (Leila). Under intense interrogation, Becky refused to admit that she knew all along that her boyfriend was raping her little daughter at home. The harsh interrogation drives Becky into killing herself. What is the truth that the raging Commissioner is trying to find out? What is the seemingly defenseless mother hiding? Or is she acually telling the truth? Is the phrase, "A woman is born to give her body to men." the whole truth?
