Brothers Abang and Adik are undocumented orphans who live in Malaysia. Abang is deaf-mute and works hard to achieve stability, whereas Adik turns to criminality, divergent paths that lead to the unfolding of a nightmarish tragedy. While offering an edgy insight into street life in Kuala Lumpur, Abang Adik is at heart a drama about feelings spoken, and unspoken.
