70 year old Alvin Tan has always been an introvert and he hates the heat of Singapore. His wife however loves going out and loved nature. Using the excuse of Covid he keeps her at home for over a year until she passes away in her sleep one night. Now, when he tries to return home from her funeral he seems to have developed acute claustrophobia and can’t go back up to his apartment by the elevator or the stairs. Roaming around the streets of Singapore Alvin bumps into Alice who works as a sugar baby. They begin to chat and Alvin gets introduced to the world of Sugar Daddies and Babies. He becomes famous amongst them as an old man who can’t go home and pays money to just talk and walk. The film traces his conversations with a Singaporean chinese lady, an Indian lady and a transgender Malay woman through a few nights as he grapples with being able to finally go back home.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
