Acclaimed auteur Eric Khoo put Singapore back on the cinematic map with this bold debut that offers a gritty street-level view of the claustrophobic city-state. Johnny, a painfully awkward and troubled young man, runs a noodle shop in a seamy part of town. He is secretly in love with one of his customers, beautiful young prostitute Bunny who dreams of escaping her pimp and Singapore itself. Tragic happenstance brings the two lost souls together, which leads to a shocking turn of events. This screening marks the U.S. premiere of the Asian Film Archive's 20th anniversary restoration of Singapore’s first and groundbreaking indie.
