Hong Kong action film from 1998

Unlike “trilogy on torn-down neighborhoods,” (The Sang-kye dong Olympics, Haengdang-dong People, and Another World We Are Making), Standing on the Edge of Death calmly describes how urban poverty was formed, how they live, and why more than 20 of them committed suicide at once in 1990. In this film, the director explains that people who moved from poor countryside formed urban slum, and because they did not have formal education or asset, they worked as day laborers. Residence was one particular problem they faced as they lost their main dwelling area due to redevelopment. They start their day at dawn and work till night. However, these hard-working people do not receive any recognition from the society.

Abandoned by his biological mother, nicknamed Harami, he comes in contact with Hajibaba, who offers to take care of him and gives him the respectable name of Vishwa. Hajibaba runs an impromptu orphanage, amongst his children are Dalal, Dalal's brother Chotey, and Shiva. When these young men grow up they are friends, however, since Hajibaba openly favors Vishwa over the others, this angers Dalal and his brother. Dalal kills Hajibaba and frames Vishwa, who is arrested, tried in court, found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison. He comes out of prison an embittered man, out to avenge the death of Hajibaba and his prison term. He will go to any lengths, and will not hesitate to sacrifice everything and everyone - including his wife, Shiva, as well his very own child.

Death as non-existence, non-being, or the absence of life has been a subject of human interest for millennia. Poets, philosophers, prophets, and hermits have now been replaced by filmmakers, influencers, cryonicists, and evolutionary biologists in the search for the quintessence of life and death. Zoltan Istvan runs a cryonics laboratory and is running for president of the United States with the demand that immortality be included among fundamental human rights. In Russia, a mass festival dedicated to the cult of death is traditionally held. Dāvis Sīmanis' film essay reveals the twists and turns of man's age-old desire for eternal life. It uncovers the metaphorical and fetishistic representations of death and the mechanisms by which we come to terms with our own mortality.
