| Summary: | Hide & Seek is a suspense thriller that looks intently at stereotypes, human expectations and the underlying complexity of seemingly normal events.
Set in the heartlands, the story features an elderly cardboard collector, Ah Ma (Lok Meng Chue), and her young charge, Mei Mei (Hayley Lim). They are extremely close, with their lives revolving around each other.
Due to her competitive streak, Mei Mei falls out with the other children at the playground after she cheated at a game of Ice and Water. Mei Mei seeks company in Clara (Neve Tan), a girl who is easy-going and passive and they become fast friends.
Concurrently, Lester (Timothy Seet) makes his appearance around the vicinity. He is a suspicious character, his identity and intentions still unknown. Ah Ma develops a strong distrust towards him, believing that he was a danger to her and Mei Mei.
The plot takes a dramatic turn when Lester appears to tail Ah Ma, prompting her to bring both Mei Mei and Clara to safety. Clara meets an untimely end when Ah Ma’s paranoia gets the best of her, with Mei Mei still unaware about her new friend’s accidental death and how Lester could have changed her entire life.
