A sensorial traversal of time and space, If For Nothing Else Than For Sunday is a first-person walk through the Little India district of Singapore punctuated by jumps in time. The camera looks, listens, and moves relentlessly straight ahead, breaking only to cut back and forth in time - taking the viewer into streets and alleyways, quiet and deserted one moment, then in the next, bustling with migrant workers from Bangladesh and India, gathered for relaxation, friendship and freedom on their day off. In so doing, they remake this space, however brief and limited, their own.
