What happens

Twilight Kitchen (Chinese: 聚味楼) is a 2003 Singaporean "community" film directed by Gerald Lee. The film was initially only meant to encourage companies to employ ex-prisoners. It was the first "community film" in Singapore. It was also the first time a film directed by Lee was screened in local theatres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
