Ali always had a bad luck in her relationships and this time she ends up on the streets and has no place to go. Finally, she and her 7 year old blind son are forced to live with the man that Ali resents the most- her father, Tan. Now, after 20 years Tan gets to know Ali´s surprising secrets. What results is Cages, a powerful and poetic story about the intricacies of life. Set against the cultural backdrop of modern Singapore, the eloquent journey of a woman, her blind son and her father captures a unique portrait of family and tradition, while proving that love and hope are universal.
