Synopsis: G-23 is a story about emotional suppression in urban Singapore. The story revolves around 3 idiosyncratic city dwellers, a young Indian girl who has problems coming to terms with her culture’s hot and spicy fare; an elderly man who has lost all purpose in life, and a middle-aged lady who is deprived of sex and love. The lives of these characters intertwine through a ticket-tearer working at the local Indian cinema, who soon develops an interest in the lives of his cinema patrons.
