Set against the backdrop of Singapore’s fading rural landscape amidst rapid urbanization in 2010, Tadpole is a coming-of-age story told from a child’s perspective about an unexpected friendship that blossoms in the unlikeliest of circumstances – a spirited 10-year-old child protagonist wandering the streets amidst her parents’ bitter separation finds a confidante in an equally vivacious 49-year-old proprietor of a faltering family frog farm.
