1400 is a 2015 Singaporean drama film directed by Derrick Lui, in his directorial debut.[1][2] Set in Singapore's red light district, with four interwoven stories, the film revolves around four couples in search of love and belonging in a hotel. The film stars Desmond Tan, Ya Hui, Vincent Tee, Alan Tan, Angeline Yap, Will Lawandi, Maria Alexandria and Grace Lee-Khoo.[3][4][5]
The film is composed of four interlocking narratives, each exploring different facets of love and belonging. The stories include:
Rain and Summer: Rain (Desmond Tan), a deaf man, and Summer (Ya Hui), who is blind, attempt to connect and communicate despite their sensory challenges.[6]
Paul and Janice: An adulterous relationship between Paul (Will Lawandi) and Janice (Maria Alexandria), exploring themes of guilt, intimacy, and betrayal.[6]
An older man’s grief: Vincent Tee plays a middle-aged man who goes on dates as a way to cope with the loss of his wife, still haunted by memories.[6]
Moon’s struggle: A poor foreign woman, Moon (Angeline Yap), balances work, survival, and searching for a meaningful relationship.[6]
These stories are connected through their setting largely centred on a hotel named “1400” as characters’ paths cross, often invisibly, under the roofs, corridors, and rooms.[6][7][8]
