Daily drama centring on a number of multiracial and multi-generational families in modern Singapore.

Wang Jiahao is a rebellious youth being raised singlehandedly by his mother, Xiufen, a widow. Many schools refuse him entry, so Xiufen resorts to working two jobs a day to enrol him in a private school. Jiahao does not appreciate her sacrifices, and spends his time aimlessly with Lollipop, Otahman and Coco. Jiahao’s aunt, Wang Xiaohui, works in a production company under Yang Dadao. Her dream is to shoot a movie someday. She is exploited by Dadao, who gives her the menial and troublesome tasks.

Set in Singapore in 1979, A Year Of No Significance chronicles the gradual disintegration of a middle-aged architect as changes rock the 45th year of his life. Sidelined in the office because of his inability to speak English, Lim Cheng Soon is cut further adrift when his wife leaves him inexplicably one day. His elderly father moves in, forcing him to confront the fact that the former has always preferred his younger brother. Robbed of his identities as architect, husband and son, Cheng Soon struggles in the dusk of his life, raging against the dying light.
