Balancing action with a tale of culture in crisis, Bunohan (meaning murder) tells of dark passions poised between modernity and tradition. Against a backdrop of diverse national and religious  identities, a face-off between three estranged brothers ensues. Botching a deathmatch in Thailand, kickboxer Adil flees his crooked promoter, with hitman half-brother Ilham assigned to take him  down. The chase takes them to hometown Bunohan, where Bakar schemes to usurp their father’s land to seal a development deal already resulting in desecration of local gravesites. Amidst this  volatile reunion, spirits hover in the background, ruminating on the region’s fate.
