In a tour-de-force performance, yao (fka Thomas Pang of Tiong Bahru Social Club, NYAFF 2021) plays renegade vlogger Sean and his gay identical twin Ricky, supercharging this exhilarating, damning and morally essential fable about social media celebrity, cancel culture and the erosion of human rights. The brothers lead happy-go-lucky lives with their free-thinking single mom until they witness a popular televangelist demonizing homosexuality. After Sean posts a scathing video attacking the self-proclaimed holy man, he goes viral, soon landing himself a spot in jail and leaving his mom and Ricky to fight an uphill battle for justice. Ricocheting entertainingly between a multiplicity of moods and genres, Ken Kwek’s indictment of backward thinking and barbaric laws veers from the deadly serious to the colorfully camp without once losing sight of its humanity.
