Synopsis :Singapore GaGa is an essay film by local film maker Miss Tan Pin Pin. It is a bittersweet biography of Singapore's everyday sounds and sights that often go unnoticed amongst the urban noise. The film takes viewers through a poignant range of what probably is the essence of "Singaporeness" with characters from different dimensions of the Singapore life. Viewers journey through the film with the visual diaries of local street vendors, buskers, performers, school children, a faithful husband who sings to his dimentia wife to rekindle their memories. "GaGa" means being crazy over something in English, anger in Malay and a yearning for a time past (as in Queen's Radio GaGa) - all emotions which find expression in Singapore GaGa.
