A talent search competition has matched two hearts - that of Melur, a Malay-mixed girl and an Indian male student, Mahesh. Melur, with her melodious voice, singing whilst playing the piano is one of the seven finalists of the Talentime competition of her school organised by Cikgu Adibah. Likewise Hafiz, enthralling with his vocalist talent while playing the guitar, divides his time between school and mother, who is hospitalised for brain tumor.

"the lone december is falling down, running down on streets to nowhere"i love Yasmin Ahmad's films and how they convey the domestic intimacies in such a raw way. i love the subtle and loud messages of grief and love. she is unfiltered with how she portrays malaysian culture- the preconceptions that comes with going against the norm and how interracial relationships is perceived. Hafiz and Melurs story tugs my heart so much. Oh Mahesh. I love old malay cinema

Oh how I miss old Malay films :(( Yasmin Ahmad your legacy will forever live on! Special mention to Adibah Noor my all time fav childhood actor may her soul rest in peace. Such a heartfelt story with its own quirks and whims that explores romance, friendship and acceptance.
