Set in Malaya during the Japanese occupation in the 1940s, this film tells the story of a girl, Embun, who's thrown into the forefront of the struggle against the Japanese when her freedom-fighter brother, Bayu, and father are detained by the Japanese. In the midst of it all, she's also attracted to the Japanese army public relations man, Koishi, who is assigned to explain the Japanese propaganda to the Malays and win their support.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
SecretAffair this movie got a good directing and well performance by all the cast. i watch this movie for the world movie festival in malaysia, this movie about a girl Embun(Umi Aida) been raped by Japanese soldiers and her courage to fight back for her freedom and all people in Malaya. this is not based on true story but they make it better than Left.Adnan for this movie i gave it 6/10
izyan firstly, if by watching this movie you expect to see a lot on the japanese occupation, i'd advise you against it. However, if you're keen to know whether or not the Malaysian Film industry has progressed, then by all means, take a seat. the movie revolves wholly on the title character, Embun, who lives with her brother, a malay activist, and her parents. Umie Aida carries the role with perfection, albeit the occasional flaws in her Utara accent. her brother, Bayu, played by Hani Mohsin, goes boldly against the Japanese, demanding the malay rights and broken promises once used by the Japanese when the Brits were still around.However, Bayu gets caught, thus the story begins, of Embun trying to save Bayu from captivity, fighting for her nation on the way. Heart-wrenching is the death of Embun's father, played by Rahim Razali, who is killed by the Japs on his way to plead for Bayu's life. Khatijah Tan also plays an excellent mother to the two, make-up and all really convincing.a bit on the comedic sight was Izi Yahya as Akichi, the bad jap.his antics could make you roar with laughter yet feel like murdering him at the same time, especially the facial expressions. Akasha's role as Koichi was rather illogical, though. a Japanese speaking perfect Indonesian? and at that time of the year too?overall the movie was very entertaining, mostly thanks to the credible cast. a big clap on the back for Erma Fatima, who never fails to go one step further with each movie she makes!
