For decades, ‘homepars’ have been at the heart of Asia’s gay party circuit – house parties in which the gay nightclub atmosphere is recreated in a living or hotel room. To power through a tough break-up and celebrate their evolving gender identity, Oliver hosts a homepar with their closest friends in the home they share with their widowed mother, Hui. But as the night rages on and more people keep showing up, the fear that plagues every homepar rears its ugly head – that knock on the door at 4am. How many secrets can the paper-thin walls of a typical Singaporean home hold? What freedoms have we already given up, even before the cops come calling? And how far would a mother go to protect her child?
