This is a look at the vents of May 13, 1969 in Kuala Lumpur when the Chinese minority was attacked and massacre. Using a dual structure where events of the past are inter-cut with events today, the film looks to plumb the depths of tragedy and how we remember it.
In all honesty I can't really provide an objective review. This is very much an art house film that is deliberately staged to look like a theatrical performance- much of the film is shot to look the Cantonese Opera performance that begins the film. It's a mannered presentation that is not going to work for everyone.
That said if you want to see an extremely well done, if mannered art film.
