Stranger Eyes - MO SHI LU

Synopsis

After the unexplained disappearance of their small daughter, a young couple receives strange videos and realizes someone has been filming their daily life, even in their most intimate moments. The police set up surveillance to catch the voyeur they suspect of the kidnapping. But the family starts to crumble as secrets are unveiled under the scrutiny of eyes watching them from every angle.

"Before COVID, we wondered whether we ought to allow our privacy to be invaded by surveillance. But when the pandemic struck, it was rather "No, it's our social responsibility to be monitored. You have to download this application so that we know where you are all the time, whom you meet and whom you know." Today, nobody questions whether there should be surveillance or not. The issue is moot because we already have it... Watching is never really neutral because we always project part of our humanity onto what we watch... For me, what is most interesting is when the plot ends and real life starts." Siew Hua Yeo
