Synopsis
A time capsule is unearthed; a “time cube” is sealed. What of Singapore is worth preserving? Tan Pin Pin’s elegant and incisive documentary suggests some answers. Her film, itself a potential time capsule, observes rituals at schools and at work, shopping centres that empty and fill, and a banyan tree being cut down and moved to an uncertain future. In doing so, her film quietly asks: what makes us, us?
