Mardi Gras presented as part of the necessary stage's fundraising drive.

A group of people come together to organise Singapore's first Pride Parade - Singapore's first Mardi Gras. They plan to hold the March at the Padang, with dykes on bikes, fags and fag hags, leathers and feathers; they want to shout out loud and be proud...

Excuse? Will they even get a license? Um, will we?

As they plan, the tension mounts; the cracks in their relationships surface. Jokes turn to bitchiness, which turn to clawing... Eventually, the very event that is supposed to show their unity threatens to tear them apart.

Are they going to prove themselves to be ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION, ONE SIN-GAY-PORE... or will the rainbow colours represent segregation and prejudice?

Is pink over?
