Personal filmmaking this unflinching and intense is rare among Southeast Asian filmmakers. Singaporean artist and director Megan Wonowidjoyo dives in fearlessly, headfirst, into this self-confessed \u201ctrauma exorcism\u201d of abandonment and single-parenthood over three generations of her family. At the heart of the bleeding wound is her Chinese Indonesian mother, Third Wife (mistress) of an Indonesian tycoon, who had been upstaged by her own housemaid\u2014the maid, molested by the tycoon, had a son, a child with a penis, while she the wife gave birth to this cursed girl who has cost her everything and grew up to make this film. While this is indeed another film of family pain to conclude that Chinese women live horror movie lives, the director\u2019s lyrical creativity takes us into a brave new world.<\/p>\n

A woman dwarfed by crockery and household appliances, a Thumbelina wife and mother of two, is swamped by endless chores. Dad is always away somewhere more exotic, pursuing his dreams. Dusted with fairy magic and the fragile beauty of inane floral tea cups, never was drudgery so enchantingly portrayed to blow us away. Meticulous and immaculate, by the director of \u2018Home Sweet Home\u2019.<\/p>\n
