Using themes and motifs on home, identity, local music and friendship, our film follows the two characters’ journey in finding themselves in each other amidst the changing landscapes and their changing identities. Set against our local landscape, we explore the struggle of finding a sense of belonging that people living in Singapore may face and how we come to terms with it.

We hope to encourage everyone to have more empathy for others of different backgrounds. With this heartfelt and personal film, we want to foster an inclusive and harmonious society in an organic way.
