Be With Me

Be With Me is a 2005 film out of Singapore. The movie is split into 3 story arcs.

The first arc is a man with a convenience store. This man is alone now, as his wife has passed away and his son has moved out. This man starts cooking for Theresa Chan.

The second arc follows a lonely security guard that really really enjoys his food. The security guard gets grief from his family for his lack of success and is prone to fall asleep on the job. This security guard has a secret crush on Ann, played by the lovely Lynn Poh.

The third arc follows 2 high school age girls. They meet online and begin a lesbian relationship. When one of them renegades on the relationship with a boy, the situation turns tragic.

The three are linked only in passing and via convenience. But they are linked.

I was a little shocked while watching this film. My impression of Singapore is that of happy go lucky people. This movie presented quite the opposite. Actually a lot of doom and gloom. Unfortunately, this movie may be remembered for the lesbian scenes and not the content.

Be prepared for some heavy subject matter.
