La vie vaut pas un rond, mais le papier-cul coûte cher
(Life is cheap...But toilet paper is expensive)

In Hong Kong, life’s cheap, but paper butts are expensive. This trenchant remark comes from the Killer Duck, a blood-spattered butcher who welcomes the Man-With-No-Name, an Asian-American cowboy from San Francisco, to L’Est Sauvage. Hong Kong is a frontier city between China and the West, past and future, capitalism and communism, tradition and cutting-edge fashion. It’s dirty, caustic, violent, noisy, very rich, very poor, a crowded nightlife city, intense, funny, dangerous, exciting, sexy and scary.
