During Singapore‘s 50th independence anniversary celebrations, filmmaker Tan Pin Pin follows the preparation of a time capsule, which will contain objects representing this era for the future. At the same time, the opening of an old capsule unveils artifacts from another era that today require significant interpretation effort in a new context in which references of the past have perhaps been lost. In the mean time, the director collects images of the present that make up rituals to be remembered for eternity. In this process, present, past and future seem to be intermingled, rendering the identities of a people and of individuals indefinite.
