(105 min) Malaysia

T his comedy-drama deals with several characters whose lives touch each other when the patriarch of a family must go to the hospital. The younger daughter, although married, has unresolved feeling for her dead boy friend. A parallel story in a poor neighborhood revolves around a mosque that is overseen by a young muezzin and his lovely wife. Both devout Muslims and sex workers are shown sympathetically with a compassion rarely found in contemporary cinema. This film will give you another view of Islam. A true crowd pleaser.
