Kolumpo 2013

Rahul, Azad Jazmin an Indian immigrant, arrives in town to discover that the company that offered him a job has gone out of business. He is helped by a local restaurant owner and begins his life in the city as an illegal immigrant worker.

In Setapak, Nell Ng as Gienna, a Chinese woman in her thirties who is constantly avoiding phone calls from her mother, finds herself spending an afternoon helping a stranger, a senile old lady, who cannot remember where her house is.

In Ampang, Amirul Ariff as Hafidd, a young man, meets a pretty stranger at the KLCC LRT station after they both miss the last train. For someone who has never dated anyone in his life, this is a life-defining moment and his only chance at love.

Together these three threads weave a collage of the human connections that give life to the city.

The first thread shows the injustice in life can receive further injustice; the second portrays kindness across racial barriers, despite issues of racism in different levels of the Malaysian society; while the final installment delivers a subtle message: When one opens his mind to see the beauty in life, life can be beautiful.
