Exercise in its own form of absurdism. Jokes are good if you tell them well. Strange jokes have to be told even better. The maker likes really strange jokes and that's why he practices telling them well. Man takes his injured friend to the hospital. There it becomes apparent that a leg is missing.

Rare earth meets rare talent as director Liew Seng Tat unleashes his fertile imagination on the Lynas controversy and fantasizes about our post-apocalyptic Malaysian village. After the radioactive dust has settled, we find that the village's leaders and entrepreneurs have all gone to a better place (and we don't mean heaven). Left behind are the innocent victims who couldn't afford to flee their ancestral homes, their lives turned upside down -- for some, quite literally. Liew Seng Tat's vision is unique and funny and guaranteed to crack you up. Yet, in the aftermath of the laughs, there lingers a poignant aftertaste. Is it thorium? Maybe, maybe not. But don't worry, they tell us it's not dangerous.
