When Ah Yao returns to Malaysia for his father’s funeral, he expects grief, not chaos. But everything turns upside down when the religious police storm in, claiming his father—who secretly converted to Islam—must be buried in an Islamic cemetery. Refusing to let go, Ah Yao and his siblings set out on a wild, darkly comedic journey to reclaim the body, confronting cultural clashes, family secrets, and absurd obstacles along the way.
