Singapore Cowboy

A middle-aged man deals with fears of emasculation by playing at being a cowboy. His sense of impotence increases when he is unable to prevent his parking space from being occupied by another, control his children’s behaviour and stop another man from flirting with his wife. This drives him to actualise his make-believe role by attacking his rival in ways that he is only capable of.
