The film follows a day in an HDB block, weaving three lives. San San, a quiet woman, is haunted by her mother's scolding. Ah Gu, a tofu‑soup vendor, clashes with his wife Lily, who wants more than he can give. Meanwhile, moralist Meng is unsettled by his teenage sister May—“Trixie”—who refuses to study, parties all night, and feels trapped by youth.
