Disappointed by his failed dreams, Loh Poh Huat visits his frustrations on his family.
So when he wins the lottery, everyone believes the money will deliver them from their struggles. However, Loh dies abruptly and his elaborate and surreal Taoist funeral pitches the family into a battle where the stakes are the very meaning of life itself. Singapore Dreaming is a poignant yet darkly humorous story which follows the lives of six individuals as they navigate the rapidly changing conditions experienced in today’s modern South-East Asian cities. The winner of several major international awards, this “graceful satire about Western capitalism in the East” (Variety) has been compared to the early films of Ang Lee.
