MOTHER BHUMI

In late-1990s Malaysia, amid political unrest, Hong Im, a widowed farmer and ritual healer, struggles to protect her family in a multi-ethnic rice-farming village. By day, she resists land seizures; by night, she heals and exorcises. As colonial-era conflicts resurface, strange events unfold - spirits return, black magic stirs, and a monk leads a buffalo. The legacy of empire haunts the land, the living, and the dead of Bujang Valley.
