HAWAIʻI PREMIERE
AH GIRL
泡泡糖女孩
Singapore, 1994. At seven years old, spirited and outspoken Ah Girl is beginning to understand the adult world, even as its contradictions leave her increasingly bewildered. Her days should revolve around a schoolyard crush, friends, and her enterprising chewing gum business, but instead she finds herself caring for her five-year-old sister while navigating the ongoing battle between their separated parents. Preoccupied with new relationships and their own frustrations, the adults shuttle the sisters between households, leaving Ah Girl to make sense of circumstances far beyond her years.
Drawing from memories of her own childhood, director Ang Geck Geck Priscilla makes a remarkably assured debut that views divorce, family dysfunction, and the irrationality of grown-ups entirely through a child’s eyes. Buoyed by playful humor, vivid young performances, and a wonderfully specific portrait of 1990s Singapore, AH GIRL takes childhood emotions seriously, capturing the outsized joys, humiliations, confusion, and heartbreak of growing up when the adults around you are still figuring out their own lives.
