In the Room

Several narratives span several decades, all of them transpiring in Room 27 of a Singapore hotel - while the ghost of a musician who died in the room watches.

Two men who care deeply about one another bid each other a poignant farewell on the eve of the Japanese invasion. Years later in the same room, a man is preparing for his last night as a man because he's about to have surgery that will change him into a woman. Even later, a single man from Singapore and a married Japanese woman have an affair. Although the man wants a future together, the woman knows their relationship can't extend beyond the walls of the room.
