Storyline
| Plot Summary |
"Be with Me" consists of three stories of love vs. solitude : 1) An aging, lonesome shopkeeper doesn't believe in life anymore, ever since his wife died. But he is saved from desperation by reading an autobiographical book and meeting its author, a deaf and blind woman of his own age. 2) Fatty, a security guard in his fifties, lives for two things: good food and love for a pretty executive living in his block of flats. But, if it is easy to satisfy his first need, winning the heart of the distant belle is a horse of another color. 3) Two teenage schoolgirls get to know each other on the Internet. Soon they fall in love. Written by Guy Bellinger |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Singapore Film Commission selected this as their submission to the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film category. The film was approved by the Academy and screened for the Foreign Language Film Committee. Several days after the official screening, the Academy disqualified the film saying that although the film featured characters speaking three languages (plus one lead deaf and blind character who could not speak), they had "measured" each one and found that there was too much English spoken for them to consider it a Foreign Language Film.
