Singapore Dreaming is a story about a family with big dreams,
living on a small island. It is a poignant, yet darkly humorous
story about a typical Singaporean family coming to grips with their
aspirations. It weaves a layered and moving tale about a family
dealing with loss, ambition and the search for what really matters
in life.
Heavily in debt, patriarch Loh Poh Huat cant help but feel bitter
irony whenever he has to perform his job as a lawyers clerk
seizing goods from the homes of credit card debtors. At the end of
his career and frustrated by the gulf between his middle class
dreams and his working class reality, he takes his feelings of
failure and envy out on his family.
So when Poh Huat suddenly wins two million dollars in the lottery,
the Lohs start believing that maybe this windfall will deliver them
from their struggles. But something happens which pitches the
family into a battle where the stakes are the very meaning of life
itself
