A young avant-garde filmmaker gathers his childhood classmates and hits the road in search of a UFO that has eluded him for 15 years.

Berg is an ambitious artist of a different stripe – highly experimental and completely misunderstood, but a man of vision. Assembling a team of old mates and a spacey freelance actress, he embarks on a desperate journey to shoot an indie film, criss-crossing Malaysia in a wild, colourful, chaotic road trip where he will learn lessons about friendship, support and commitment. Scattered with knowing nods and references to the Malaysian film industry and itself a microcosm of the creative process, this refreshing romp is the second film from Nik Amir Mustapha.
