Ghafir Akbar

In an imaginary world where vehicles are the citizens, one underdog cabbie attempts to become king of the road in his hometown, Gasket City. He soon discovers that staying true to oneself is a greater pursuit than personal glory. When threatened by elitist attitudes and mobster trucks, can one unglamorous black and yellow ‘local zero’ rise to the challenge and become a ‘global hero’?

CUAK, which roughly translates to 'cold feet', follows the story of Adam on the verge of getting married and having second thoughts as he goes through the events that lead up to this moment - how they first met, the in-laws and best friends and making tough decisions such as converting ones religion to get married. The film is uniquely told by 5 directors who each direct each of these events as segments of the film, combining together to make one full narrative in a variety of different styles - ranging from drama and comedy to noir and mockumentary - making CUAK a truly Malaysian movie with themes that resonate with a universal audience regardless of race or religion.

Princess Walinong Sari was the finest warrior of her generation and heir to the Inderapura kingdom, which existed during the reign of Kesultanan Melaka. When she came of age, many suitors sought her hand in marriage, but she vowed to only marry one who could beat her in combat. None of them did of course, and Walinong Sari was content to remain single. Her father, however, worrying for the future of Inderapura accepted a proposal from Melaka's royal Bendahara much to the dismay of his daughter. Unhappy of her fate, she decided to travel to Pura on the mighty river one last time to say goodbye to the land she loved dearly.
