Synopsis
A time capsule is unearthed; a “time cube” is set up. “What’s worth preserving from Singapore today?” asks Tan Pin Pin’s elegant, incisive experimental documentary. Is it the discipline imposed on public school children? The sterile malls and expressways of which the city-state is so proud? As trees are violently cut down and carted away to an uncertain future, Tan questions, “What’s the price of this perfectly pruned order?” Sometimes the quietest voice of protest carries the greatest weight. - Shelly Kraicer.
