Finding refuge in a smaller town, their secret little world collides with that of Brian Ng, a 30-year old Catholic school teacher.

雅絲敏阿末是導演、作家和劇作人。她的廣告短片和電影充滿幽默感和溫情，經常刻畫跨族群和社會禁忌故事，在馬來西亞可說是家喻戶曉。不過，她的影片也經常挑起保守分子的敏感神經。雅絲敏的「胡姬三部曲」（2004年的《單眼皮》、2006年的《花開總有時》和2007年的《木星的初戀》）獲得本地和國際的一致好評。她也在2008年製作了《改心》和2009年的《戀戀茉莉香》。雅絲敏不幸在2009年逝世。

Yasmin Ahmad was a film director, writer and scriptwriter from Malaysia. Her television commercials and films are well known in Malaysia for their humour, heart and love that crosses cross-cultural barriers. However, in Malaysia itself, her films are highly controversial since they depict events and relationships seen as forbidden by social conservatives, especially hard-line interpretations of Islam. Her “Orked Trilogy” (Sepet 2004, Gubra 2006, Mukhsin 2007) has won critical acclaim locally and internationally. She later made Muallaf (2008) and Talentime (2009) before her untimely death in 2009.
