G-23

G-23 is a story about emotional suppression in urban Singapore. The story revolves around three idiosyncratic city dwellers – a young Indian girl who has problems coming to terms with her culture’s hot and spicy fare, an elderly man who has lost all purpose in life, and a middle-aged lady who is deprived of sex and love. The lives of these characters intertwine with an usher working at the local Indian cinema, who develops an interest in the lives of his cinema patrons.
