Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Beginning with a confrontation between a father and daughter – whose decision to join the Navy is immediately shot down as a “crazy” one – the film provides an unembellished look at life in the Singapore Navy. We feature the reality – the early mornings, rigorous physical training, repetitive drills and simulations, months and miles spent away from home and loved ones, and inherent risks that come with the job; a reality most organisations, if given the choice would prefer to leave unspoken, is instead featured front and centre for ours. A simple counterpoint to this ‘crazy’ career choice is then offered, grounded on the very reason for the Navy’s existence and purpose – to defend Singapore’s safety and sovereignty – turning what seemed crazy at first thought into a perfectly sensible decision for Gen Z individuals with the guts, grit and heart who seek a career of greater purpose.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

In Singapore, a common refrain to anyone who expresses an interest in joining the Navy is, “Siao ah?” (“Are you crazy?” in Hokkien, a local dialect). This is highly-relatable, regardless of whether one is at the receiving or issuing end. This is because the Navy is associated with sacrifice and effort – servicemen spend months away from home, enduring uncertainty and environmental and physical hardships, even as they put their lives on the line. As it is, young Singaporean men already sacrifice 2 years of their lives to mandatory National Service, falling behind in the corporate world even before a “real career” can take off. But a career requiring one to put country before self requires exactly that – some kind of crazy. Crazy grit, crazy tenacity, crazy for purpose – ingredients making up Gen Z, our target audience, the woke, justice-seeking, cause-championing generation. To them, crazy is the way.
