Synopsis: An Asian-Canadian man named Kagan is sitting in the welfare office, applying for disability benefits for the very first time. He tells the worker who is processing his file that he suffers from manic depression, but all the worker sees is a young man trying to get a free ride, another welfare bum trying to scam the system.
