This is one of those sweet indie movies that you would enjoy for its simplicity, the small things in life and down to earth realism. Liew Seng Tat, the director, writer and editor, has done a marvelous job in showcasing two young brothers and their everyday antics in an unsophisticated town. The composition is artistic, the acting natural and the storyline flows with ease. It is poignant, funny and heartwarming. And it makes you feel tingly all over.
The boys and their father hardly spend any time together due to the nature of their father's job. This is a movie with a clear message of innocence being scrutinized and misconstrued as defiance by adults. If anything, the director/writer must have had some fairly similar experience or his comprehension of a child's mind is admirable.
Some of the memorable scenes include their friendship with a girl known as Atan who brings them home for lunch one day and how their names are glamorized by her mother, and then there was the fish incident which makes one think of eating fish again and how the two boys prepare their strange concoction which is to be their dinner.
James Lee, a well known director and writer, plays the somber looking, anti-social and overworked father with credible dedication. The three children certainly steals the entire show.
