Two years after director Tze Chun's short film "Windowbreaker" played at Sundance, this full-length feature based on the same film received praise at the festival in 2009. CHILDREN OF INVENTION begins with the eviction of Elaine Cheng (Cindy Cheung) and her two children (Michael Chen and Crystal Chiu) from their home, forcing them to squat in an unfinished apartment complex. Elaine attempts to support her family on a number of jobs, but her work at a pyramid scheme endangers her and leaves her children alone. Now Raymond must take care of his younger sister, Tina, with no idea when their mother will return.
