Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Khoo made this for Singapore's 15th National Day celebrations, subverting patriotic TV conventions by centering dementia and female sacrifice instead of national triumph.
Li Yinzhu, playing the mother with dementia, was 73 and had never acted before; Khoo cast her after spotting her at a temple. Her raw, unstudied performance anchors the film.
