Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tanjung Rambutan was Malaysia's most notorious mental hospital; naming it specifically grounds the film in real stigma. Director Aziz Sattar was primarily a comedian, making this dramatic turn fascinating.
Mr. Os (Adik) was a theater actor making his film debut; his performance was so convincing audiences reportedly struggled to distinguish character from actor afterward.
