The Forbidden Past is a heart tugging, rare Chinese Christmas story about a bar girl (Ching Li) serving drinks to a man that looks like her husband from five years ago. She convinces him to fulfill her son's wishes of having the father he's never seen, show up for Christmas.

根据曾被香港市民追捧的、反映他们真实处境的电视剧集《七十三》改编。
1973年3月，香港恒生指数飙升近1800点，“辛苦做工不如痛快炒股”，全城市民为股票发狂，陈德录（陆仟）一家及与他们合挤在香港街73号的一大帮中下层邻居（谭炳文、程可为、井淼、欧阳莎菲、刘丹、李香琴等邵氏明星）亦不例外。
陈德录本职是无线电器行职员，但他及同事上班时却从不为电器售出多少台而为股票升了多少点疯狂，他的老婆（李燕萍）及在大学念书的小儿子阿才（何守信）亦常将从街头、教授口中听闻的股票消息透露给他，不过他在保卫公司做工的大儿子阿福（岳华）及其做小学教员的老婆阿芳（井莉）较为冷静。然而股指终狂跌令众全港市民皆做“大闸蟹”。
其时的社会疯狂、混乱事件不止此一桩：各行业利用分期付款形式将市民套牢；警察胡乱开罚单，市民遇事将他们找时，他们却左推右推不愿担负责任；市民无门路租到政府提供的廉价房，老千趁机将他们的辛苦钱骗光；教育界高层为了私利大发学生财，完全不管学生家长有无钱拿……这些，陈德录及他的邻居们都有切身体会。
