# The Story of Dean Ilyas The story of Dean Ilyas, who appears perfect but leans towards homosexuality—a same-sex relationship. Dean attempts to change with the help and support of his wife, Cahaya Malaika. Cahaya Malaika (Sophia AlBarakbah) was raised with love by Mr. Firdaus (Fauzi Nawawi) and Mrs. Wahidah (Aleza Shadan). Cahaya is very close to her sister, Anggun Dania (Shima Anuar). Cahaya becomes engaged to a man of her choice, Nik Safri (Kael). Unfortunately, their engagement is broken off after the secret of Cahaya's identity is revealed. Moreover, Cahaya is also insulted by Nik Safri as an illegitimate child. As a result, the relationship between Anggun and Dahlia with their mother also becomes strained. Cahaya is still able to be gracious and tries to accept her fate. She also persuades and encourages her depressed mother. Not long after, Cahaya meets Dean Ilyas (Dato' Aaron Aziz), who acts as a hero to save Cahaya from being further hurt by Nik Safri at a food stall.
Directed by Eyra Rahman, Suamiku Lelaki Pendosa leans on a strong ensemble — Aaron Aziz, Sophia AlBarakbah, Shima Anuar — 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 screen titles of 2021.
