Suri (a representation of Mahsuri and ‘penunggu’) submits her whole being to an old yet charming kampong house and vows to remain devoted for better or worse. Every once a month, Suri performs a ritual that she believes will strengthen the bond between her and the house. In return, the house blesses her with beauty and grace. As she ages, Suri loses her sense of identity and starts to give in to temptations. The story then follows how Suri battles between facing her personal desires and tending to the house.
Directed by Chan Teik Quan, Suri leans on a strong ensemble — Nai Djenar Maesa Ayu, Samantha Chan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
