In the Room
The six stories are all set after 1942, when the British surrendered to the Japanese troops at Singapore. The same Singaporean hotel is the setting for all stories, including those involving sex. Six different stories about six couples from Japan, Britain, and China that span several decades. Segment 1 – Rubber: Two middle-aged men fall in love with each other.
