15 is a 2003 Singaporean film about teenage gangsters in the Singapore suburbs. Directed by Royston Tan, the film is an expanded version of Tan's 2002 award-winning short film, also titled 15. It is one of the few Singaporean films to feature brief full-frontal male nudity (in its uncensored version), together with the Singaporean-Thai film Pleasure Factory and the Singaporean-Hong Kong film Bugis Street.
Synopsis
The film stars three real-life juvenile gangsters, all aged 15, giving an accurate depiction of Chinese teenage gang-life in the Singapore suburbs. The 2003 film features two more gangsters as characters as well as a fight sequence with more affluent English-educated Singapore youths. Rather than scripting the movie or employing professional actors, Tan attempted to capture the troubled lives of his characters in realistic fashion, apparently without much prior scripting.Comments

Zhang Xiao Wu est un jeune garçon d'une dizaine d'années vivant à Singapour. Il est livré à lui-même, entre une mère partie à l'étranger et ne le contactant que par téléphone et un père invisible dont on ne sait rien. Un jour, Jung, un coréen de trente ans dépressif emménage en colocation dans l'appartement. Il travaille la nuit et se couche chaque matin à quatre heures trente en prenant de puissants somnifères. C'est à ce moment que le jeune garçon vient l'observer. Il consigne ses découvertes dans un cahier. Il mène ainsi une vie monotone et solitaire, cohabitant avec un étranger qui semble ne pas le remarquer. Il n'arrive même pas à vivre normalement à l'école où il rattrape ses nuits sans sommeil. Peu à peu, le jeune garçon, malgré la barrière de la langue, va tenter de lier connaissance avec le jeune homme et s'ingénier à construire une impossible amitié dans une ambiance qui flirte avec le surréalisme.

The two men take turns sleeping with Solange, and both try to impregnate her without success, believing a lack of a child to be the source of her depression.

The film opens with 16-year-old Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick) and a 12-year-old girl who are making out on a bed. With no adults around, Telly convinces the girl, who is a virgin, to have sex with him. Afterwards, he meets his friend, Casper (Justin Pierce), and tells him about his sexual experience in graphic terms. They go inside a local store, where Casper shoplifts a bottle of malt liquor as Telly distracts the cashier. Looking for drugs, food and a place to hang out, they head to their friend Paul's (Sajan Bhagat) apartment, though they express dislike of him on the way there. They arrive at Paul's house, talk about sex and smoke marijuana while watching a skate video (Video Days). Casper inhales nitrous oxide out of balloons, which Telly considers dangerous. The scene intercuts with a group of girls, among them Ruby (Rosario Dawson) and Jennie (Chloë Sevigny), talking about sex—each gender contradicting what the other gender says, especially about oral sex.
