Synopsis
Josie is a struggling woman approaching her thirties, juggling odd jobs after a failed startup venture. She's been single ever since she broke up with her ex-boyfriend Seb three years ago, after catching him escorting a politician. Seb, on the other hand, has thrived in the world of Sugar Dating, living a sophisticated life. When Josie learns of his success, she swallows her pride and asks him to teach her the ropes. Her logic: master this, and she'll never struggle financially again. Seb agrees to help, but complications arise. As Josie becomes proficient, Seb's old feelings for her resurface. Josie, however, now views love differently—as purely transactional, a lesson learned from her heartbreak. She can't forget how Seb broke her heart, and the line between business and emotion blurs dangerously.
Editor's Review
"For those curious about where modern relationships are headed, here's a striking Singaporean production: Baby Boy, Baby Girl. The film offers an intimate look behind the scenes of the 'Sugar Dating' world while asking an age-old question: Is love a transaction, or still an emotion? As Josie seeks financial independence by learning the trade from her ex-boyfriend, Seb finds himself caught in an emotional dilemma. Does learning 'the business' from an ex completely transform the nature of your relationship? The film paints a portrait of a woman torn between financial freedom and the revenge of a broken heart, leaving viewers with the question: 'Can you build a future with a past?' For anyone wanting to explore the complex relationship networks beneath Singapore's modern facade, this is an unmissable opportunity."
