Returning Home

As we enjoy our daily lives, there are many unsung heroes who serve as our bullet proof vests to safeguard our lives. This film tells the story about the dedication of the heroes from the Civil Defence (APM), St John Ambulance (SJAM), Lions Clubs as well as Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department (PBS), putting their lives on the line to save others. Sometimes people forget that they have families, too. They often sacrifice much of their time away from their own families, whilst their families await anxiously for their safe return. During this Chinese New Year, will the heroes return home safely?

Directed by Don Hoe, Returning Home leans on a strong ensemble — Chen Puie Heng, Ribbon Ooi, Chazynash — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
