Synopsis
Shuangshuang and Dandan live with their mother Danping in Singapore, who is struggling to make ends meet running a vegetarian bee hoon stall. Their father lives in Ipoh ostensibly working, but he has already started another family as yet unknown to them. Coffeeshop owner Orbit is attracted to Danping's looks, and after finding out her husband's infidelity, begins to target him with a view to his money. Shuangshuang is opposed to this as she hopes to see Danping and her dad reconcile, and she even offers herself to be molested by Orbit in exchange for leaving Danping.
Shuangshuang is good friends with Wei, Orbit's stall assistant who sticks up for her. He has a crush on Rain, Orbit's daughter, and Orbit warns her to stay away from Wei despite a promise to let the relationship blossom in exchange for not revealing his affair.
Things come to a head when Obiang, Orbit's wife, discovers Orbit's affair. Orbit and Danping book a holiday to Phuket, but he is stranded after Obiang damages his passport in revenge. The 2004 Asian tsunami strikes, and Danping is uncontactable. Wei and Shuangshuang confront Orbit for molesting her, but he escapes with his life after Wei accidentally stabs Shuangshuang fatally, while attempting to stab Orbit. The film ends as Wei hovers outside a police station, and as Dandan, now presumably orphaned, looks for his mother and elder sister.
