The Swing explores the hopes and dreams of the Chinese diaspora through the eyes of Mei Sun, her mother, and her daughter Shirley. In 1972, after ten years in London, Mei Sun returns to Singapore with Shirley, so that her daughter can meet her grandmother. The trip helps Shirley to discover her roots, but for Mei Sun it is a reminder of the fractured ties she has left behind.
