Synopsis

In December 1983, David Bowie's massive 'Serious Moonlight ' tour arrived in Asia for three shows in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore, virtually uncharted territory for major rock acts at the time. The resulting triptych depicts Bowie's strange encounters with other cultures in a hybrid documentary-fiction-diary film. In Singapore, he grapples with the city's contradictions, befriending Chinese opera performers, drifting through alienating shopping malls, culminating in the troubled, almost cancelled concert in the National Stadium.
