Description:

"Be My Family" follows two laid-off workers, desperate to claim their long-overdue arrears from a negligent debtor. In an unconventional attempt to recover their unpaid wages, they reluctantly agree to take temporary care of Qian Qian, the debtor's young daughter. Their initial intention is purely transactional: holding Qian Qian as leverage to pressure her father into paying what he owes.

However, their calculated plan takes an unforeseen and dramatic turn when Qian Qian suffers a serious accident. This sudden crisis throws the two unprepared workers into a profound dilemma, forcing them to confront responsibilities far beyond their initial agreement. As they navigate the complexities of her care and the repercussions of the incident, their temporary guardianship begins to evolve. The film explores how this unexpected turn of events challenges their cynical outlook, potentially forging an unanticipated bond and redefining what it means to be a family under extraordinary circumstances, far removed from their original pursuit of debt collection.
