Two Singaporean girls comprise the Papaya Sisters, a getai group that sings during the seventh lunar month's performances. Big Papaya is estranged from her mother, who is critical of her performances, while Little Papaya is an orphan with terminal disease. Auntie Ling and her son, Guan Yin, lend assistance to the two. The two quickly ascend to the top of Singapore's getai scene with their renditions of classic Hokkien songs, but their success earns them the animosity of the Durian Sisters, a rival group of techno-singing Eurasian females.
