Singapore Writers Festival and Sinema present the film, One Hour to Daylight, a social drama set in 2016 in a Singaporean estate where cultural and
social tensions threaten to divide its inhabitants. A lift technician, Chen, dies in an unfortunate
work site accident, and his wife travels here from China to collect his body. Overseeing this case
is ambitious Malay lawyer, Andy, who disregards both his wife’s objections and the possible
consequences of giving their daughter, Dela, a Dream Device, to better her studies. Dela’s
classmate, Alyssa, has to live with both her grandparents in the absence of her mother, and she
knocks heads with them constantly due to their class differences. She seeks comfort in her best
friend, Wei Ting, whose father, a jobless middle-aged man, decides to rob a bank with Chen’s
Bangladeshi co-worker, Nayeem. Their lives, though separate, are intertwined, and all collide in
the Curry Incident.
