In their wet dreams, all rules go loose.
Movie6.0DramaKwan believes that she is unique. Enclosed in solitude within her own literary world and deprived of affections from her family, she longs for love in whatever form it takes - no matter how distorted.

She finally comes to the realisation that it is the world that goes against her. There is no hiding place for her no matter how hard she struggles……
Movie5.0CrimeThrillerSmoker, a prefect in a boarding school, maintains order with weed and terror. Within the confines of the school, we witness a twisted version of a coming of age story of unbridled violence in the name of law and order, culminating tragically to the death of the bullied Dickhead. As the incident escalates and things go astray, Smoker faces a moral dilemma: Should he clear himself of further corruption, or should he act as an accomplice of the authorities? Stylistically extravagant, the short uses the secondary school as a metaphor to underpin the absurdity and brutality in ‘the worst of times.’
Movie7.0DramaSingle-gender schools allow few chances for campus romance. Will inter-school activities provide the right opportunity? Ryan is both eager and afraid of mingling with the opposite sex after studying in an all-boys school for years. One day his friend Jayden makes him join a mixed choir formed with an all-girls school. There, he meets the enthusiastic singer Carol. Unexpectedly, Cupid’s arrow carries more than love itself. Ryan will also have to face life lessons such as a test of friendship and the unfairness of the school system. The film’s manga-like style and humourous scenes establish perfect comic timing. The innocence and ignorance of youth come alive while the ending suddenly turns into an anti-climax that reveals the bitterness of growing up amidst shattered ideals.
