At a reclamation site on the coastline of Singapore, worker Wang Bicheng has gone missing. Two detectives hear the news and search for Wang Bicheng around the construction site. In a manic atmosphere and sleepless nights, the detective sees Wang Bicheng in his dream, and the disturbing truth will be revealed in a humid and hot fantasy where reality is hard to distinguish. Young Singaporean director Yang Xiuhua, in collaboration with veteran actor Hong Rong and "Roadside Picnic" heroine Guo Yue, reveals the survival dilemma of undocumented migrant workers along the coast of Singapore in a story structure where reality is hard to distinguish. Under the background of film noir, saxophone music and neon lights interweave, and the narrative method of switching perspectives creates a dreamlike sense of space. The story background is extremely realistic, but the visual style is melancholy and detached, leading the audience away from the stereotyped imagination of Singapore and exploring the real anxieties of contemporary Singapore in the fragmented and dissipated sense of time.
