Small Hours of the Night

Singapore 2024 Fiction p&b 103 min.

Singapore, in the late 1960s —the newly independent country is still grappling with its identity. In a dark room, a woman is trapped, being interrogated by a man. Through the course of one long night, identities and duration start to blur. Ghosts from the future haunt their conversation, telling of a bizarre tombstone trial that speaks to the state’s nascent political and legal landscape.

Presented at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
