Sepet - A Tale of Love Across the Borders

Sepet is my favourite movie EVER.It is a touching love story between a Chinese boy and a Malay girl. It is a tale of love across the borders.


I still remember when i first watched it 7 years ago, I cried my heart out. I think, I'll cry again if I watch it now.


This movie tells an unforgettable love story between Ah Loong (who also calls
himself "Jason) and Orked..

19-year old Ah Loong (who also called himself "Jason") is in charge of a stall selling pirated VCD's. Contrary to the stereotype of his social standing, Ah Loong is an incurable romantic with an unlikely hobby: He loves to read and write poetry. Quite content with being the Romeo of the slums, Ah Loong's life takes a sudden turn one day when a Malay schoolgirl, Orked, arrives at his stall while looking for films starring her favorite actor Takeshi Kaneshiro. Love blossoms between Orked and Ah Loong, although there are social and racial pressures that stand in their way. In the end, Ah Loong is involved in a motor vehicle accident while Orked is going to England to pursue her studies.

It is really sweet but its ending is totally sad..I cried a lot when i watched its ending.

Here's the trailer:
