The Story of Southern Islet (2020)

A wife finds herself thrown into a complicated world of spiritual confusion when her husband is struck down by a mysterious illness he himself attributes either to black magic or divine wrath. Chong Keat Aun’s feature directorial debut is partly a treatise on the absurdity of national borders but also one of cosmological ambiguity in which the acceptance of that which cannot be explained provides the only hope of a cure for those burdened by the sin of transgressing against the gods.
