Every morning, countless flowers are transported from Kunming, China - 1,311 kilometers away from Macao and one of the world’s three major emerging floriculture hubs. Nurtured with care by farmers, the flowers flourish before being carefully selected by traders at the flower auction center. Only after a successful bid do they make their way to Macao. With the remainder of its life, this bouquet whispers to the world a story of endless love and longing.
The 24-hour veterinary clinic acts like a bridge, witnessing the birth, separation, sickness and death of animals that human ever loved. On the contrary, also filled with our hope and despair. Some of their lives are in danger because of human’s selfishness and ruthlessness. "Once They Were Here" tells the fate from different animals on the choice of human. Perhaps it is not pure love and random. The so-called equality of life is only reflected in the uninterrupted heartbeat.

This documentary follows the three old ladies as they unregrettably bet on the remainder of their lifetime, to rebuild what they have lost for the past 30 years—a home.
