Fantasy

Tok Wan Rimau, the custodian of the spiritual tiger, is searching for a female heir to inherit her powers. Tina (Maya Karin) and Ari (Rusdi Ramli) are the relatives of Tok Wan. They are also best friends. Tok Wan`s spiritual tiger protects her family and their village from harm. Tina, who is in love with Ari, nurtures her secret dream of marrying him even though the villagers often ridicule the effeminate Ari as a sissy. Deeply traumatised by these insults, Ari continues to hide behind his close relationship with Tina. Despite parental objections, Tina seems destined to be the next in line as custodian of the mystical tiger. But Ari steps in, offering himself instead.

Plot

The story of this movie is based on the legend and myth of Malay folks about having a supernatural companion (called as 'saka') purposefully to protect and give benefits to the owner. The companion is usually in disguise of an animal or other form of creatures (in this movie, it was a tiger). The companion needs to be passed down through generations before the owner has to die. Hence, this story tells about a boy named Ari and a girl named Tina who might be the possibile candidates to inherit this supernatural companion from their grandmother. They have their own struggles in their lives while experiencing some supernatural events caused by their grandmother's companion.
