'BEAUTIFULLY IMPERFECT'

I want to share with you a short film produced by the Ministry of Community Development in Singapore. I do not want to give too much away ... it is a eulogy, delivered by the wife from a mixed marriage - Indian & Chinese - with an exceptionally moving message on the 'beauty of imperfection'. It is a valuable lesson to all couples, whether newlyweds or lasting marriges, as well as those with nuptial plans.

Yasmin Ahmad was the Producer, a Malaysian Chinese who recently passed away from a stroke at the very young age of 51. "A graduate in Political Science & Psychology from the University of New Castle, she was previously Creative Director at Leo Burnett. In 2002, in order to show her love for her aging parents she made a film on how deeply they are still in love with each other in their elderly years. Since then she has made a film a year, mostly on racial harmony, all of them have received excellent reviews". Her talent will be missed. Do watch it, I guarantee you will find meaning & reflection.
