Daffodil Lara

# Translation The story tells of Lara, who manages a café owned by her mother, Jane, in Cardiff. Meanwhile, Hairi is a university student who also works part-time at the same place. Being far away in a foreign country causes these two friends, Hairi and Lara, to spend a lot of time together and understand each other well. Everything is shared between them, including joy and sorrow. Lara always needs Hairi and it is the same in reverse. This closeness causes Hairi to secretly develop feelings for Lara. He hopes that Lara will accept him as her lover. However, it is the opposite for Lara. Lara often avoids the subject whenever Hairi talks about love because of the sad history of her lover's and father's death. This sadness makes her not ready to accept another man in her life. However, everything changes after Lara meets Ilham, which begins to open her heart. Lara easily opens her heart to accept Ilham, who has fallen for her.

Directed by Rahila Ali, Daffodil Lara leans on a strong ensemble — Amyra Rosli, Hafeez Mikail, Amar Baharin — 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 2018.
