Synopsis

Melur, Kahoe, Mahesh and Hafiz are Form 5 students studying in KL. Best friends, they always find themselves in Melur’s house hanging out, monkeying around and sometime even studying. However, their innocent lives are thrown into turmoil when Mahesh sides with the Indian boys in his class in refusing to study their literature textbook, Interlok, on the grounds that it is racist. Mahesh tries to explain his position to his friends but this divides them even further. Every innocent thing from their beloved badminton to their jokey wordplay is seen through a racial lens. Without the proper vocabulary to interrogate the wounds of history their lives are thrown in turmoil.

Can their friendship survive?
