\u265b A new film by Chong Keat Aun, following Pavane for an Infant, Snow in Midsummer, and The Story of Southern Islet
\u265b Winner of three Golden Horse Awards<\/p>


Set in northern Malaysia in the late 1990s, amid political unrest, farmer Hong Im (Fan Bingbing) lives quietly with her two children after her husband\u2019s death from a mysterious illness. By day, she farms the land and advocates for villagers whose land has been seized; by night, she becomes a sorceress, performing healing rituals and exorcisms for women in her community.<\/p>


As unresolved colonial-era land treaties resurface, the village is plagued by unsettling phenomena\u2014a wandering monk leading an ox, desecrated ancestral graves, spirit possession, and a creeping curse tied to Hong Im\u2019s past. As fog engulfs the land, the buried wounds of history and displaced souls begin to surface, echoing through the ancient Bujang Valley.
