Penyakit Pagi (Morning Sickness)

Synopsis: 

The film was forged in the melting pot that Singapore is by a largely first time cast and crew. An Indian scriptwriter-director, Malay and Filipino actors and a Chinese crew.

Set in the Malay Community, it is a grim depiction of Saira’s life that is abandoned by family and partner, to deal with the harsh realities that come with teenage pregnancy and single motherhood.

Saira is uneasy in her soul searching ride- as the darkness profiles her angst in sweat and her disinterest in taking care of herself and the children. In the end, she surrenders.
