Meet the internationally-acclaimed cast and crew of Cages at this red carpet premier event. Cages is set in the forgotten suburbs of modern Singapore, ALI's attempt to escape repeated bad relationships ironically puts her before the man she resents most – her father, TAN. But, the truth is not always easy to face when her father reveals a dark secret of 20 years past; a past that may cost a lifetime of relationship.
Cages is a powerful and poetic family love story about the intricacies of life. Set against the backdrop of Singapore songbirds, this eloquent journey of a woman, her blind son and her father, captures the unique and eloquent portrait of family, tradition, and the universal dialect of love and hope.
