Four Malaysian filmmakers explore their city of Kuala Lumpur and make comparisons with Kyojima in Sumida City, Tokyo. In theory, Downtown Kuala Lumpur and Kyojima are similar – both are considered the ‘old’ part of the city, both are going through some sort of gentrification, and both are also trying hard to preserve their heritage. The final film is an omnibus montage of past, present and future that transcends generations and cultures. We observe how people gravitate towards houses of worship in Kuala Lumpur while in Kyojima, family institutions hold everything together.
