"The issue of marginal ethnicity has not often been addressed in Singapore’s recent filmmaking history, and this makes A Yellow Bird a particularly significant work because of its focus on the perspectives of socially and economically alienated individuals of different nationalities that make up the present-day populace in Singapore." - Akanksha Raja, Arts Equator.

Siva (Sivakumar Palakrishnan), a Singaporean-Indian man, is released from prison for smuggling contraband. Unable to find forgiveness from his mother, he embarks on a quest to locate his ex-wife and daughter. Just as he finds comfort and hope in the company of an illegal Chinese prostitute (Huang Lu), he is faced with an unbearable truth about his family. How far will he go to redeem himself from guilt?
