Ad and Am, two struggling brothers involved in a baby trafficking syndicate, dream of escaping their desperately grim existence. Ad, the younger brother, finds hope through a dancing competition, as he sees the RM50,000 prize as a ticket to get out of his miserable life. Am, on the other hand, has no qualms dabbling in shady dealings to squeeze extra cash until the day he can start his life anew. Unfortunately, he finds his cash reserves dwindling due to his penchant for easy money by gambling. Left to fend for themselves since young on the ghetto backstreets of Kuala Lumpur, Ad finds himself drawn to his prostitute mother. He poses as a client and pays for her time to have conversations with her, sharing his daily challenges and dilemmas, all the while without the mother knowing that the young client is indeed her son. SONGLAP, the second feature film by co-directors Effendee Mazlan and Fariza Azlina Isahak, will take you through the gritty underbelly of Kuala Lumpur’s sprawling metropolis and keep you on the edge of your seat as you join Ad and Am in the search for their own private utopia.
