The Original Daughter

Singapore, 1996. Before Arin, Genevieve Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and grandmother in a single-room flat in Bedok, she is saddled with an unexpected sibling when Arin appears. At once collaborators and sisters, Gen and Arin grow up inseparable in working-class Singapore - where urgent insistence on achievement demands nothing less than self-immolation. But as the winner-takes-all world threatens to leave one behind while the other's star rises exponentially, the sisters must weigh their allegiances, the costs of success, and reckon with who they've become.
