Synopsis

In the first Chinese film produced by Cathay-Keris, a young woman who works in a clothes factory in Singapore falls in love with the son of the factory owner. What follows is a forbidden love story within the confines of social status, coinciding with the start of the progressive development of the country post-war. Featuring scenes of Old Airport Road and the first housing high-rises, The Lion City was one of the first films to bring Singapore’s natural sense of multilingual and multicultural integration to the big screen.

The Lion City was digitally restored by the Asian Film Archive in 2015 using a 35mm release print loaned from the Hong Kong Film Archive.
