Biar Jadi Kaktus

Syakila and Firdaus's love is like glittering stars. However, life's journey is not as beautiful as dreams and hopes. Unable to bear the mounting sufferings, Syakila seeks justice and truth that seem to be hidden. But her search stalls when she is hunted by Datin Habsah, a corporate woman with a money-minded attitude. An offer of one million Malaysian Ringgit from Dato Tengku Amir makes Datin Habsah want to continue pursuing the girl to the ends of the earth. Syakila is like a cactus that stands firm even during drought. She continues forward with a strong heart. When she wavers, Azlan appears, a man with a noble heart. This virtuous man often extends help without expecting anything in return. Such mountain-high sacrifice puts Syakila in a dilemma. She knows the man loves her to death. But what about Firdaus? He is her very soul!

Directed by Ahmad Tarmimi Siregar, Biar Jadi Kaktus leans on a strong ensemble — Uqasha Senrose, Atoi Tohet, Syafiq Sahli — 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.
