Synopsis
In bustling Singapore, young couple Junyang (Wu Chien-ho) and Peiying (Anicca Panna) are despondent after the abduction of their baby. Soon, they begin receiving DVDs with footage of their final moments with the child, setting off a tense police investigation. Suspicion falls on their enigmatic neighbour, Wu (Tsai Ming-liang collaborator Lee Kang-sheng, superb), and surveillance on everyone intensifies – causing cracks to form in the couple’s own façade. Buried secrets and hidden desires surface in their cramped high-rise apartment. This surreal, surprising thriller from Locarno winner Yeo Siew Hua (A Land Imagined) brings Rear Window and Caché (Hidden) into the age of screens, surveillance culture and urban sprawl.
