Beneath wide skies and the quiet rustle of seaside wind, “SUAY” lingers like a forgotten feeling. Sun-bleached and slow-burning in the stillness of a small town, where nothing changes and everything slips away. A punk anthem becomes a soft echo of longing, carried on the breeze like a name no one calls anymore.

It follows the filmmaking journey of two filmmakers as they navigate through the urban sprawl of inner KL during the pandemic. It showcases the city in a raw, exposed and gritty fashion but still with a certain charm. Throughout their filmmaking process, they capture the peculiar events in the life of three strangers: the son (Fakhrul Aiman), the outsider (Eli Orkid) and the hustler (Nidusmas). They happen to express themselves in extreme ways at the sight of their own reflection in “the vantablack” -- they snap into a state of mind where they lose all their inhibitions and show their true self in a very physical way: through visceral, almost primal dance movements.
