Earning comparisons to Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Eric Khoo’s naked, gritty debut Mee Pok Man takes us away from the sanitized skyscrapers of the professional classes into the cacophonous condition of the lower class.

Exploited hooker Bunny (Michelle Goh) expects her English photographer boyfriend to take her to London someday. Mee Pok Man literally falls head over heels for Bunny, but dares not tell her until one day, she’s seriously injured in a car accident. He takes her home to nurse her back to health, but can they escape from their lives?
