Synopsis

A film about a young girl's coming of age among drag queens, full of wit, camp and drama.

Description

All the world’s a stage for the drag divas of the Sin Sin Hotel in Chinese director Yonfan’s new film Bugis Street. This enchanting, sexy drama, set in 1970’s Singapore, explores the lives of the transsexuals and transvestites who live in a sleazy residential hotel. Hiep Thi Le (of Oliver Stone’s Heaven and Earth) plays Lian, a 17 year-old reception clerk, who keenly observes the hotel’s colorful cast of characters. Coquettish yet naive, young Lian learns the lessons of life and love from the reigning queens at Sin Sin, including the worldly Drago and the tormented Lola, who’s trapped in a co-dependent relationship with an abusive, philandering boyfriend. It is from Lola and the others that Lian learns that behind the vivid facades of the residents also lies pain and self-doubt. With its healthy doses of drama, attitude and nude dudes, Bugis Street gives you a firsthand look at a rarely seen or understood part of queer Asian life.
