The Papaya Sisters are a getai group formed by two Singaporean girls. In addition to being an orphan, Big Papaya has a mother who disapproves of her performances. Auntie Ling and Guan Yin help them. A rival group of techno-singing Eurasian ladies, the Durian Sisters, enmity them as they soar to the top of Singapore's getai scene performing traditional Hokkien songs.
