In the Room (2015)

Marked as Singapore's first erotic film, this Hong Kong-Singaporean movie comprises six different stories of couples in a single-room brothel at a hotel in Singapore. Spread over several decades, the movie starts at the summit of the hotel's glory in the 40s, and ends as it falls into ruin in a near future. It's Imrah's first day as a maid at the Singapura Hotel. In the suite n°27, a pop band celebrates New Year's Eve. The singer, Damien, slightly melancholic, walks out of the room for a few moments and runs into Imrah in the hallway. During their brief but magnetic encounter, he jots down her name on a notepad for a future song. Years later, in the same room, a japanese woman lets go of her lover, a transvestite makes love for the last time as a man before her operation, an inexperienced korean boy watches the friend he has a crush on have sex with a stranger... And all the while, Imrah remembers Damien tenderly as she cleans the room that he idly haunts. Edit Translation
