Be With Me

An old man (Ng Sway Ah) grieving the death of his wife, finds loneliness weighing him down. It slowly dissipates when he starts to cook for a deaf and blind woman (Theresa Poh Lin Chan) whose story inspires him.

Two young teenage girls (Ezann Lee, Samantha Tan) find each other over the Internet and fall in love.

A fat security guard who loves food is obsessed with a beautiful young woman who works in his building.

Singaporean director Eric Khoo, manages to weave these disparate pieces together in this minimalistic film that touches on urban life and the human islands it can create.
