Introducing the cast of “Wonderland”! ✉️❤️
Set in 1980s Singapore, a time when studying abroad was a luxury that few could afford, Loke (played by Mark Lee) is a single father who works hard to ensure that his only daughter Eileen (played by Xenia Tan) gets the best education.
Loke lies to Eileen, telling her that he can afford her overseas education, and convinces her to go to New York City to further her studies. While she is away, Loke moves into a one-room flat to save as much money as possible.
Loke finds himself in the spotlight as his new senior neighbours try to befriend him. He meets Tan (played by Peter Yu) who is the default “leader” of their makeshift social club, the Senior Citizens’ Corner. Loke, who is illiterate, comes to rely on Tan to read and write letters to and from Eileen; Tan finds solace in helping his new friend because he yearns for the same relationship with his estranged daughter.
Tragedy strikes when Tan receives bad news about Eileen, and unable to tell Loke the devastating truth, he fabricates a lie that becomes full-blown deception.
Fun fact: this is the first time that 2 veteran actors, Mark Lee and Peter Yu are on screen together! Additionally, this is also Xenia’s first time acting in a feature film!
We are delighted to have them as our main cast in our long-awaited feature film! We hope that everyone will support them and continue to support us through this journey!
