Ponti

Ponti opens in 2003 and introduces three women: 16-year-old Szu, her mother, a once beautiful actress named Amisa, and Circe, Szu’s unlikely friend and confidant. Moving the story 17 years on, in 2020, Circe is struggling through a divorce in Singapore when a project comes up at work: a remake of the cult seventies horror film series 'Ponti', the very project that defined Amisa's short-lived film career. Suddenly Circe is knocked off balance by memories of the two women she once knew, by guilt, and by a past that is threatening her conscience.
