Some emotions dwell deep within us, unreachable by words, for their waters run too deep. 1979 was a time of great transition. Most Malay villages had vanished or were nearing their end. Malay rock was on the rise, led by its first legendary band, while the temptation of drugs lurked just around the corner. On one Friday night that year, during the final days of Engku Aman village in Geylang Serai, 15-year-old Alia left her home and disappeared without a trace. The lives of three young people who knew her unravelled, with each forced to confront their own challenges amidst a backdrop of social and cultural upheaval.
