Roland C Heart warming Singapore movie about two fathers, Loke and Tan, who become friends when one moved into an apartment in a block of public housing flats after selling the house to fund his daughter’s American University school fees. Despite their seemingly different backgrounds, where the new neighbour (Loke) is a man who makes a living selling Taoist/Buddhist offerings for the deceased, and the other (Tan) a Church Choir Director, they became firm friends when the former, who is illiterate, seeks the help of the latter to write letters to his daughter, and also to translate the letters that he receives from his daughter. Loke is a recluse and likes to remain alone and anonymous when he gets home after work. Tan goes often to the “Residents’ Corner” (a kind of social space for residents of the flats to gather as their apartments are small, and most are living alone with no spouse/partner) to socialise with the neighbours. Music helped to bond the two men when one night Loke started playing a tune (that his late wife loved) on his harmonica, and Tan decided to play the same tune on his keyboard. Tan then used this opportunity to invite Loke to play the harmonica in his church. Loke initially rejected the idea but eventually agreed. Music also helped Loke get to know his neighbours better when they attended a neighbourhood concert together. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
