Abstract

Violet tells the story of a young girl left without a family, suitor or fortune, leaving her with no choice but to look inwards to discover the courage to steer her towards a new phase of life. Set in a time very different from the Singapore we see today, the creators want the film to be a nostalgic, reminiscent piece for the older viewers but an educational, insightful journey for the younger generation. It shows a glimpse of Singapore in the 1970s, with a focus on the vibrant cabaret scene before it was “cleaned up” and discarded by the government.
