Tilam Lama Tukar Baru

Five friends, Aiman, Nuara, Tiara, Ramu and Stanley, discovered an old mattress that was abandoned by a lorry driver because he claimed it was haunted. They took the mattress to use as a play area and placed it in their makeshift hut. One day, Aiman was resting on the mattress and noticed a piece of money hidden in the mattress crevice. Aiman took some of the money because he intended to give it as charity. His friends noticed Aiman behaving strangely and asked him to come clean. Ramu became excited when he found out about the money and took some of it to treat his friends to food. While each of them was busy searching through the mattress, they discovered a letter tucked in the mattress crevice. The letter told the story of a mother who was longing for the return of her son, Kamal, who had gone far away to work. Moreover, the letter stated that if the money was found, it could be donated to those in need.

Directed by Ayie Mustafa, Tilam Lama Tukar Baru leans on a strong ensemble — Indah Emeerlda, Duerra Mitilda, Habiel Lutfilllah — 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 2019.
