LOGLINE
Decades after making a promise, Poh Huat returns

to the Hawaii Nite Club, hoping to find his long-lost lover. The club, from a bygone era, exists in a place where time has forgotten.

Siew Fang, the club’s owner, is trapped in a past she can’t let go of. Yen, the dancer, and Edward, the delivery boy, both yearn to escape lives they are bound to, longing for freedom that seems out of reach. In this forsaken space, their fates intertwine

in surreal and unexpected ways. Four solitary souls, each caught in a prison of memory and desire, collide in this strange realm amid forgotten beats and fading lights. Through Poh Huat’s eyes, the lines between past and present, the living and the dead, blur.

​They each search for their own reason to keep going.

​Director's Statement

Through Your Eyes began as a collection of loosely connected vignettes, centered on the almost clichéd notion of eyes as windows to the soul.

During our location scouting, we stumbled upon the Hawaii Night Club, a place that seemed to be frozen in time, existing even before I was born. I vividly remember the club manager remarking that the venue had become something of a retirement home in recent years.

That idea immediately intrigued me, and I realized the club itself could become the central character of the film, with the people merely existing within its space and history. I wanted the film to communicate its essence primarily through the gazes of the individuals, which led to very little dialogue. In fact, there wasn’t even a formal script. Instead, we worked with a collection of images

​and notes we had gathered during our research.

The goal was simple: we wanted the place itself to speak to us, to reveal its own story.
