The Elephant and the Sea

A Malayan coastal village experiences an outbreak of a waterborne disease. When his wife dies, Ah Ngau is given shelter, money and donations. But it is only his visits to a prostitute that uplift and invigorate him. At the same time, a young man struggles to find direction in his life after the death of his “older brother”, especially as he harbours deep feelings for his best friend’s sister.
