Synopsis

Homeless on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Hsiao Kang is robbed, beaten and left for dead; he is found and nursed by Rawang, an immigrant worker, who lives in the shell of a modernist building abandoned during construction.

And so a triangle forms as a blanket of noxious fog settles on the city and everyone has trouble breathing.
