"It's A Great Great World" is set in Singapore's legendary amusement park named Great World, which was also affectionately known in Hokkien as 'Tua Seh Kai'. Spanning from the 1940s to the present day, the film signifies the stories of a multitude of characters that lived, worked, played, sang danced and even fell in love in Great World.
"Great World" is today one of Singapore's most popular shopping malls. But in decades past it was the site of a famous cabaret, an amusement park--even a prisoner-of-war camp. Acclaimed director Kelvin Tong brings Great World's legendary past to life in a series of interconnected stories spanning five decades. Five eras. Five Stories. One Great, Great World.
