Synopsis: Paper House is a short film set against the backdrop of a traditional Chinese funeral and its customs. The film follows the story of a family as they descend into disharmony after the death of their patriarch.

This short film is a eulogy for this colourful art form that is fast disappearing in Singapore’s modern society.
