Synopsis

Zakaria, a struggling P. Ramlee impersonator, is unmoved by the icon’s death and views his impersonation as just a job. At home, his sister Yasmin, a theater student, faces financial struggles that Zakaria cannot ease. Zakaria is soon approached by debt collectors working for Yusuf, a local gangster. Yusuf offers Zakaria a chance to clear his debts if he can manage to keep Zaiton, Yusuf’s sister, who still believes she lives in the 1950s, unaware of the present day. The reluctant agreement blossoms into a deeper connection, bringing potentially dangerous consequences.
