A country with a booming economy in close proximity to some of the poorest nations in Asia, and to several regimes known to persecute minorities, Malaysia is a magnet for migrants in spite of harsh prison sentences and whipping for those who are caught. its undocumented migrant population is estimated to be as high as 3.5 million (a tenth of the overall population), and forms the bedrock of a shadow economy. Unable to access state services, undocumented people support, trade with and sometimes exploit one another. Orphans Abang and Adi look after each other, but now that they’re grown to adulthood, they’re facing different pressures.
Despite offers of help from Ngo worker Jia En (Serene Lim), Abang (Kang Ren Wu) doesn’t hold out much hope for himself. He gets by, working on a market stall, and has managed to afford a flat to live in. His driving hope is that life.
