S11
SYNOPSIS
Terence is a lonely clerk resigned to his dead-end job at a jewel store. Ben is a pushover who becomes a hero only in his fantasies. Michelle sells pirated pornographic videodisks after school to pay for her brotherÂ’s education. They are complete strangers with nothing in common except for their hard luck and unfulfilled desires. Then, a series of events in one day leads them to cross paths with one another and change each otherÂ’s lives forever.
S11 interweaves three overlapping tales told in a circular, fractured mannered about each individualÂ’s experiences on that one fateful day. The first story focuses on Terence who loses a bag of money entrusted in his care, and has to find it back before daybreak. In the second, Ben finds out that being a hero in his fantasies is a lot harder than being one real life. The final chapter follows Michelle as she tries to save her best friend from the notorious gangster Brother Long.

It's very different from all the local fare this year, because they dared to tell a tale in a non-linear style. Centered around the worst night of their lives, 3 characters converge at a Paya Lebar petrol kiosk, where their lives will forever be changed. The loner Terence, perpetually stuck in mono because of his lack of lam-pah-ji (balls) to break out of the monotony of his existence. The loser Ben, who was fired from his job, and is always cowering in the presence of his domineering mother. And finally, the lolita-like babe Michelle, who owes loansharks a debt of money, and has only the night to figure out how to repay it.

sakali movie sponsored by them. good what, win win situation.Originally posted by Ito_^:will they kana sue by S11 kopitiam anot? -
Realli good, I think its worth the price
Anyway, its very Singaporean, a mix of colourful language as well good English
I like the plot the most, its amazing how the director shows the happenings of three persons within a period of one day one night, and how their path cross few times, without the usual confusion these kind of movies usually have
And the cast is quite good too, really make people laugh many times during the show, no lame jokes like what you may see in Army Daze.... -
