Amoeba

After dropping out of school, Choo returns to her elite all-girls school, where she forms a secret gang with three fellow outsiders, testing the limits of their tightly controlled world in Singapore

In Singapore, 16-year-old Choo returns to her prestigious Chinese girls’ school to complete her final exams. Her small acts of rebellion against tyrannical teachers draw the attention of three other outsiders: Vanessa, Gina and Sofia. When Choo confides in them about the ghost haunting her room, the girls decide to gather evidence with a camcorder. As they become inseparable, they find an unexpected ally in Sofia’s 70-year-old family chauffeur, Uncle Phoon. His stories about the triad gangs of colonial Singapore inspire them to hatch a bold plan: start a gang of their own. But how do you build a gang in modern Singapore, where even chewing gum is banned?
