In Memory of Yasmin Ahmad

Talentime follows three families of different ethnicities: a mixed Malaysian family, an Indian family composed of a widow and her two children, and a dying Malay mother and her son. The thread that brings them together is a high school talent show in which a child from each of the three families is involved. An interracial romance, class differences and even possible tragedy concern these would-be performers, with everything set to climax in a final evening of musical performances and untold possibilities. A fitting swansong for the late Yasmin Ahmad, Talentime confirms the universal themes, abundant humanity and belief in love that so informed the directors works.
