Synopsis
Singapore, Michigan, once a bustling lumber town, now lies buried beneath shifting sand dunes. The film contrasts this lost town with its namesake in Southeast Asia, which emerged through extensive land reclamation. As Singapore, Michigan succumbed to erosion from mass deforestation in the late 19th century, the other Singapore flourished. "Sandcastles" intertwines these two narratives, illustrating the fragile nature of human structures built on sand and the inevitable forces that reshape them.
