Brothers Abang and Adik are undocumented orphans who live in Malaysia without ID cards; stranded in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, they cannot enjoy the basic rights of ordinary citizens. Abang, the older brother, is deaf-mute and works hard to achieve stability, whereasAdik is unwilling to surrender to his fate and turns to criminality, looking to make money fast. But the siblings’ divergent perspectives soon evolve into a nightmarish tragedy. Wu Kang-ren and Jack Tan received critical acclaim for their heartbreaking performances as the brothers destined to share an intense bond, with Wu winning Best Actor at the 2023 Golden Horse Awards. While offering an edgy insight into Malaysian street life, AbangAdik is at heart a drama about feelings spoken, and unspoken, as the characters hurtle towards their fate.
