Singaorean comedy movie directed by Royston Tan, starring Yeo Yann Yann, Mindee Ong and Liu Ling Ling.
Synopsis: Two Singaporean girls join together to form the Papaya Sisters, a getai group that sings at performances during the seventh lunar month. Big Papaya is estranged from her mother, who disapproves of her performances, whilst Little Papaya is an orphan who suffers from terminal cancer. The two are assisted by Auntie Ling and her son, Guan Yin. Although they live to sing, the duo's act lacks 'feel', and they turn to Auntie Ling's sister, the goddess of getai for help. She provides them with the required 'feel', but on the condition that they accept a set of rules, which includes staying chaste. With their new-found singing ability, the two soon rise to the top of the Singaporean getai scene singing traditional Hokkien songs, but their fame brings along with it the enmity of the Durian Sisters, a rival group of techno-singing Eurasian girls. Their rivalry soon culminates in a showdown at a getai show, where the girls pull off their most amazing performance yet. However, time has run out for Little Papaya, who succumbs to her illness and passes away after the competition.
