A melancholic, morally ambiguous portrait of a neglected woman and a student's inappropriate attachment, set against Singapore's rainy backdrop.

Wet Season revolves around the life of Ling, a schoolteacher who deals with infertility while having to take care of her infirm father-in-law at home. One of Ling's students, Kok Wei Lun, develops a crush on her during remedial Chinese classes. The two become closer as Wei Lun embraces Ling's extra tutoring.
