- Synopsis
12-year-old Sarah was born and raised in New York City. Her mother has to relocate to China for work, so Sarah goes to Malaysia to stay with her estranged grandfather. For Sarah, raised in the Big Apple since birth, Malaysia seems like all her worst nightmares come true. Feeling isolated and lonely, hiding her insecurities underneath a cloak of bravado, she treats her new neighbours as though they are truly beneath her, but she slowly opens her heart to the “strangers” around her and learns why her mother and grandfather care so much about their cultural traditions.
