This is the project book for “In Tune”, where 6 core team members worked on a story which we were not able to get any government grants due to its controversial topic at the time of filming.

During an en bloc, an estranged mother and son decide which of their deceased father’s belongings to bring to their new house.

In our Singapore society, there is a huge emphasis on the family unit, be it in terms of holidays, policies, and general societal expectations of an ideal family. These societal expectations to be an ideal family imposes pressure on the family members. However, how often do we question our own expectations of each other as family members?

The Pieces We Keep is a short film that attempts to highlight issues of mismatched expectations in a family; as well as to encourage proper and respectful communication in a family.
