‘‘Honey, I am away to make money, because ― No Money, No Honey!’’
Money and Honey is an Asian documentary that spans thirteen years. It intimately portrays the lives of Filipino migrant workers and the elders they attend in a nursing home in Taipei. On this foreign island, the female caregivers look after the ageing residents. In the flow of life, stories of joy and sorrow take place. The caregivers comfort themselves by singing ‘‘No money, no honey’’. What's the price they pay for love and bread? Will their dreams ever come true? In longing do we taste the flavor of money and honey? Money and Honey also records the development of a unique female friendship, as the director became a messenger whose camera relayed the feelings and thoughts of the migrant workers and their families to each other.
