His Bottom Line (蒙在股里)
Synopsis
At every opportunity, IT-illiterate Ah Guan takes leisurely walks through Singapore’s crowded streets, holding up his cheaply made signboard for all to see: ‘FROM MY HEART, HONEST MAN NEED A WIFE. ANY AGE, LOOK, RACE OK. BUT BACK MUST NICE. WILL PAMPER YOU LIKE BABY.’
For the first time in his life at 57, he is looking for a wife. He truly believes that his grounded approach will help him in his search for love. Through his conquest for companionship, the documentary explores his isolation, loneliness and motivation for true love.
