Kate, an American traveller, meets Daniel, a broken-hearted young man who recently caught his wife cheating on him. Matthew, a lonely businessman at a crossroad of his life meets Ruth, a young prostitute who longs for something more.
Over a plate of steaming hot Chinese carrot cake and late-night conversations, four strangers find unlikely companionship two days before Christmas.
This light-hearted romantic comedy takes us on a journey of hope and aptly captures the Christmas spirit of giving and forgiveness.
Starring Adrian Pang, Alaric Tay, Andrea Fonseka and Danielle O’Malley.

Like most Thais, June is a Buddhist. She runs a small second-hand clothes shop and works for a magazine in Bangkok. Everything changes when she decides to marry Ake, a devout Muslim man from the southern province of Satul after visiting his hometown for a few days. June converts to Islam, and the couple moves to south Thailand to embark on a new life where she diligently learns to pray, fast, follow the Prophet’s teachings, and above all, believe in a singular God.
This is an intimate feature documentary about a young woman’s courageous transition from one faith to another, from the metropolis of Bangkok to the Islamic South, from a life of predictability to a new one marked by uncertainty.

This special 2-DVD collection presents the best of acclaimed Malaysian arthouse filmmaker Woo Ming Jin’s films, The Tiger Factory and Woman on Fire Looks for Water.
In The Tiger Factory, 19-year-old Ping works in a pig farm and cleans dishes in a rundown restaurant but longs to go to Japan to work in a car parts company. Under the guardianship of her aunt, Madame Tien, she shuffles between two jobs. Tien is also involved in a secret “baby factory” scheme, pairing young women with illegal migrant workers with the aim of selling the babies for money.

Ah Fei sells frogs from his motorbike, while his father, Ah Kan, is part of a dying breed of fishermen in an old coastal village. They share a quiet, but strong relationship.
