Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A high school talent competition serves as the backdrop for director Yasmin Ahmad's final feature film, a gently humorous musical comedy about a group of young students who attempt to find their footing before stepping out into the real world. Melur hails from an English\Malaysian family. Her passion is singing, and talent she sharpens by serenading her family at the breakfast table. Meanwhile Melur's chauffer, a motorbike-riding, hearing impaired student named Mahesh, ensures that the young singer reaches her rehearsals in time, and smitten guitarist Hafiz pines for Melur from afar while tending to his ailing mother.
