Child Pair

Amid the brutal Japanese invasion of Malaya during World War II, two unlikely survivors Aman, a quiet village boy, and Mei Lian, a child of Chinese immigrants are dragged through the horror of war. From the chaos of Jitra to the blood socked everywhere they grow numb to the violence, their innocence eroded by fire and steel. After barely escaping death, they find themselves haunting the edges of the next great slaughter. What once filled them with fear now draws them in like a grim spectacle. As soldiers burn and empires collapse, Aman and Mei Lian begin to confront the darkness not just in the world but within themselves. In a war that leaves no soul untouched, they must ask: what's left of the human heart after it's survived the unthinkable?
