Synopsis

15 follows the misadventures of five teenagers living on the fringe of Singaporean society. Abandoned by the system, they seek answers to their aimless existence among the misfits and outsiders of Singapore's underclass. This provocative film, performed by real street kids, exposes the gritty underbelly of a modern-day Singapore hidden beneath the shadows cast by the gleaming skyscrapers of the city-state.
