Of the three short films by Zai Kuning, this is mostly a fiction film, yet it also evokes a feeling for the authentic location. A woman returns to Singapore; apparently she has been in America for a long time. She visits her brother, who has continued his life fairly imperturbably. She tries to persuade him to go with her, but her motives do not seem to appeal to him. (GjZ)
