Here, the soil is good and rich.

[Ronny yelps]

Don't come, I am okay. I can get up.

Dato', what do you mean, you said "rich"?

This is a great breeding ground for fireflies.

This is a great breeding ground for fireflies.

Look.

This is something I'd like people to know.

Even such tiny flowers...

can grow well and beautiful here.

Sure, your Science Museum will educate people about this.

Hey!

Who is that? Strange.

[Harris] Welcome!

[Harris] Welcome to our village, please enjoy.

[marching music]

Welcome to our village, please enjoy.

Thank you for coming, please enjoy.

[Harris] Our boat ride will take you on the river later, okay?

Alright, please enjoy...

[in cantonese] We are here at Kampong Kuantan...

to see "kelip-kelip".

"Kelip-kelip!" (firefly). Right!

Brother, you confirm, we can see fireflies, huh?

[thunder rumbling]

Sure, sure.

It better be.

We came all the way from Kuala Lumpur for this.

Yeah, we cancelled the open bus night tour...

For this, you know.

Don't worry, it will be great.

It's like a natural magic.

Like...

Lights on Christmas trees!

Imagine, enjoying Christmas in Malaysia...

In summer! Great, huh? Please enjoy.

Please.

[Harris sighs]

[yells] Boon!

Help them! What did you learn in school?

You okay?

The handle's not going down.

It's okay... you come...

Hey, don't go there!

Come here...

Mom wants to talk to Kit.

Kit.

No worries, everyone has space on a boat.

Please mind your step, don't fall.

Please, ma'am, wear your life jacket.

Please, sir, buckle up.

Please help your Mrs.? Girlfriend?

[in cantonese] We're about to board.

You guys again.

You're sure, huh? Fireflies, huh?

Sure, of course.

But first you need to wear your life jacket.

Yeah? Wear your life jacket.

Please excuse me...

Wear your life jacket.

Boon!

[tourists giggle playfully]

Tell him don't shake the boat. It's dangerous.

[Boon] No. It's dangerous.

[Harris sighs]

Look right there. Can you see the bush, a little sparkling?

- [male tourist] Where? - [female tourist] Right there, just below that branch.

Right there... Oh, gone now.

Well, where are all fireflies?

[sound of mosquito]

All we get is mosquitoes.

[man1] Where is the Christmas tree?

[woman 1] What a waste of money.

Shhh...

[woman 1] What a waste of time.

Don't worry, you will see them later.

For now, please be quiet. Thank you.

Look, something there.

- [tourist B] I saw something in the water. - [Harris] Shhhh...

[man 1] Alligator?

Please keep quiet.

[tourist A] Where?

Excuse me, sir. Turn off the light.

You, sit down!

Sit down!

Alligator? Where is the alligator?

Don't you know how to use umbrella?

I was wet anyway.

[Fiza] Wait.

I can do it myself.

[Harris sighs loudly]

What happened?

Fireflies.

It is raining, isn't it?

You cannot control things like this.

It is Global Warming. World climate is crazy.

Not only that...

What else?

The Science Museum bothers me too.

It shouldn't be built by the river.

I thought Mat talked them about it.

Mat... he has no say.

He is the Village Head, right?

Yes, but he has to think about...

The economy and income of the villagers too.

[Fiza] That doesn't mean that they can do as they please...

[Fiza] I don't think they want to destroy nature.

Maybe you can talk to the Village Council.

Who is going to listen to me?

Fiza... I am not highly educated.

(sign) DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICE

[Fiza] That's exactly what I explained last week.

[Fiza] My daughter needs special class...

[Fiza] But class for the deaf is in another district.

[Fiza] Please find a suitable school for her?

Next building Block D. Welfare Department.

I was there this morning.

[NGO leader] Our group is planting seedlings...

[NGO leader] For the Rehabilitation Project.

We are all excited to see...

The rich land covered with greenery soon.

[Zack claps his hands]

Thank you. Good job.

But how long does it take for the plants to grow?

It will take years?

How can we support and develop our business?

Maybe... we can use...

Better fertiliser?

Thank you.

Once again...

I am hired to analyse and strategise...

The financial development of this district.

We will need something practical...

And feasible plans, gentlemen and lady.

[suspicious music]

You know how much money we can make...

By building this Science Museum?

Annual profits?

Can anyone guess?

[Harris sighs]

Maybe not.

Dato' Haiman has a good vision to develop the local economy.

But at the same time we can conserve the environment.

Eco-tourism. Right, Ronny?

Yes. Sustainable eco-tourism.

That's the way to spend money and multiply our assets.

- Mister. - Yes.

According to the record, the ticket sale for the boats decreased 0.5% last season.

Lately, weather has been not stable, sir.

Sometimes, not enough fireflies.

But we have some excellent idea.

What is it?

Shadow Play.

Huh?

Shadow Play, sir.

We showcase our culture to entertain the tourists.

Only on nights when we don't see enough fireflies.

When we use technology, we even don't need any performers.

Nice?

You mean no performers?

No.

We can videotape the show and project it on the big screen.

Like Hollywood! Let everyone enjoy it.

That cuts our cost too.

You really think it is an excellent idea?

Why not? This is Plan B.

Sir...

Enough discussion today.

[Zack] We can meet again next month.

What are you trying to do?

Do you even understand the research done by thet professors?

Harris.

You didn't give him the file? The guy is still outside.

Hurry up.

- I will check for you. - Please check. Hurry.

Sorry, sir. Maybe you can check this document.

What is this?

I collected the latest data...

About the firefly protection zone.

We have already checked about that.

But if you look at this document...

You might want to reconsider the location to build the Science Museum.

[suspicious music starts]

What makes you think so?

We are going to build the Science Museum outside of the protection zone.

No sir, no.

But according to the data I collected...

The border of the protection zone needs to be updated.

Things have changed.

Thank you, Mister...

Harris.

Thank you, Mr. Harris. Let me share this with Dato' Haiman.

But he is very busy now. Right, Ronny?

[Ronny] Yeah, very busy.

[Harris] Thank you.

You think he would pass the file to Dato'?

Who the hell is that?

I don't know. Some boatman from village. But don't worry, he doesn't know anything.

I don't know. Some boatman from village. But don't worry, he doesn't know anything.

When are you going to get Dato' to sign the contract?

No rush. We go with the flow.

Ronny?

What?

Keep an eye on that boatman. Okay?

[officer] As I said, we can provide bus ticket discounts.

[officer] But you cannot apply for anything, untill...

[officer] Your daughter officially registers at a school.

Can I know what other facilities are available?

Cannot, Mrs.

We consider case by case sincerely.

You have to make a decision and fill in this form first.

Kit.

"You go to school."

"You make many friends at school."

Why?

Everybody goes to school.

You can go to school.

We will find friends like you.

Understand?

"Don't worry."

We'll learn together, like before.

We'll find a school that you like.

Kit.

You coward!

When did you become like this?

I don't want you to be like us.

I want you to have a future.

A good life for yourself.

I just want to talk with you.

[sound of chickens outside]

What are you looking at?

[Harris chokes]

I have to go.

Thank you.

What?

You didn't push her again, did you?

Just go.

Okay.

[tense music]

[birds chirping]

Eddie, good morning.

Good morning, Harris.

[sound of water]

Good morning, Fami.

Morning, Harris. How were the fireflies last night?

Okay, okay.

It was not okay, Fami. Bad.

We don't see much lately...

And that is effecting to our lives in this village.

Never mind.

Any catch this morning?

[Fami] No.

Fish is not talking to me.

[Fami] Too windy.

Windy?

Fish talk to you?

We have to be patient sometimes.

We just have to wait.

I've to go now.

Are you sure you like to stay here, until Harris finishes his work?

Kit.

Kit.

Boon...

Boon...

Can take...

Take Kit...

Back home.

Uncle, nice. Good job.

Boon!

[Harris] Who is going to help these tourists?

[Harris] Come help.

[Harris] Leave her alone.

[Harris] Boon, did you hear what I just said?

[Harris] Boon, hurry up!

[Harris] Hurry up, she will be okay there.

[Harris] Tighten? Good.

[Zack] That song again.

What is the thing about that song, Dato'?

[Dato' Haiman] My mother used to hum it to me, when I sleep.

[Dato' Haiman] Such beautiful patterns...

God must have used some magic to create this.

[Zack] God must have had a good business consultant...

To produce such things.

Everything is in order, Dato'.

I can prepare the final contract by the end of this month.

[Zack] Your Science Museum is ready to go.

Any blue print I need to check again?

[Dato' Haiman] How about the letter for the Ministry?

No worries, Dato', I don't want to waste your time.

Your precious time should be spent, appreciating...

The beauty of nature.

[Datin] What?

[Datin] I cannot believe you, Ronny! You forgot?

How can we make reservation?

What's up, dear?

Darling, remember the restaurant in Italy where we had tiramisu?

How can all of us forget the restaurant's name?

[Datin crying]

Datin, I remember, the name is "Silenzio"...

Datin, I remember, the name is "Silenzio"...

"Silenzio".

Darling, you are the best!

We have to make an appointment now.

Yeah, Datin.

Dato', I will update you next week. I'll see you then.

But we made an appointment to meet Dato'.

[guard 1] No... no visitor from village.

Take off those sunglasses, so you can see better.

[guard 2] Watch your mouth, kid.

Kid? I am Boon.

Oh, sir!

Kid? I am Boon.

What's this? Are you okay?

I'll take care of this.

Thank you.

No need to fight.

No need to fight.

Did you pass the file to Dato'?

Of course, I did.

We don't hear anything from him.

[Zack] Dato' is a busy man.

He is preparing a trip to Europe.

Now is not a good time.

Can you let us in, so we can give this file to Dato'? Simple.

No need. I can pass it to him, when I meet him.

[Harris] No need. Thank you.

We will make another appointment with Dato'.

More official one.

I can help you.

Do you know how to make an "official" appointment?

I will... figure out.

"Dinner."

"Peter Pan"?

[mysterious music]

My name is Kit.

My name is Kit.

Are you Khai?

If yes, flash twice.

If no, don't flash.

[Kit makes noise excitedly]

We are twins.

Why did you die?

I am a deaf. Why didn't I die?

[mysterious voice]

No worries.

I am okay.

[mysterious voice echoes]

[mysterious voice echoes]

We can make magic happen.

[Mak Minah coughs painfully]

Nature is suffering.

The Earth is not rich anymore.

Kit.

You cannot hear what I say...

And I cannot see your face.

But we can still communicate, right?

My husband loved this land very much.

Soil is rich...

And nice.

But I will be gone one day too.

When I am gone...

Someone have to take care of this land.

You understand?

You understand, dear?

[Mak Minah] Okay, you want to see magic again?

[tense music playing]

[hypnotic music]

[prayer's call echoes]

[music continues]

- [loud engine noise] - [military drums]

Yeah, you can go down.

[chatting excitedly in various languages]

[Mat] Our lives are unfair sometimes, right?

[Harris] I never thought our lives are fair.

[Mat] I never thought our lives are fair.

[Harris] Bro...

[Harris] What is this? Things like this should be authentic?

[Mat] It's modern now.

Our traditional culture is conserved with the latest technology.

[Mat] If tonight's show goes well, that's our Plan B.

[Mat] We don't have to worry about bad weather anymore.

Bro, cables are everywhere.

Are these safe?

What if there's a fire or an explosion?

Don't worry. They know what they're doing.

[Mat] Hello, everyone!

[Mat] Welcome to our village, thank you for coming.

[Mat] Okay, this way.

[Mat] Tonight, we are going to have a special show!

Boon, seen any fireflies?

Not even dark yet.

If you see any, tell me.

Wait... I saw something.

What? Boon?!

[Boon makes machine-gun sound]

Stop playing!

Boon, call me once you see enough fireflies, ok?

[Boon on phone] Okay.

[eerie music playing]

[music stops]

Let's go.

[light switches off]

[sound of shadow play from speakers]

[tourists make some noise]

[lady tourist] When are we going to see fireflies?

[generator makes strange noise]

Bro, how is it there?

Not many yet.

My God, what can we do?

[sound of shadow play from speakers]

[tourist's voice] This is video, not even real Shadow Play.

[male tourist] Take us to the river.

[female tourist] We want to see fireflies.

[Harris talking to phone]

No fireflies.

[Harris] Are you sure, no fireflies?

[Harris] Try and find them further way.

[sound of shadow play swells]

[angry tourist] When can we go to the river?

[tourists make more noise]

[generator makes louder noise]

[Fiza] Kit.

Fly high!

[magical sound effect]

[tourists claps hands and cheer]

[cellphone rings]

Many?

Many? Okay, Boon.

Many!

Many "Kelip-Kelip", many fireflies.

There're many fireflies. Let's go to the river!

[tourists cheering happily]

[generator starts working]

[Mat] Calm down. Calm down, please.

[tourists getting excited]

No rush.

[emotional music]

What are you looking at?

[knocks on floor]

Dad is...

Proud of you, Kit.

[Fiza makes noise with a fork]

Please sign to her.

Why?

What do you mean why?

I am proud of her, for what she did last night.

She doesn't want to learn signing anymore.

Why don't you learn signing first?

I will, but for now, can you sign to her?

Please.

Okay... do like this.

Yes.

Dad is...

Proud of you, Kit.

Dad is...

Proud of you, Kit.

[Fiza] I told you. She forgot all the signs.

When did she lose interest? And why?

I don't know.

[Fiza] I wish I knew.

[Cellphone rings]

Yeah, Mat?

When?

Really?

Okay, wait, I am coming.

Okay.

What happened?

Dato' and his wife are coming to see fireflies.

When?

This weekend.

This could be a chance to talk to Dato'.

Wait.

You saw my towel?

What's that?

Thank you.

Just go.

Okay.

[tense music]

[uptempo music]

Good morning, Harris.

How were the fireflies last night?

- [mellow music] - [water running]

[thud from the room]

[nostalgic music]

[emotional music]

Sorry, mom, sorry.

No, no.

I like to learn sign language again.

[Fiza cries loudly]

Why?

No need to cancel regular guests.

The fireflies are not only for VIP guests.

No choice.

Their Europe trip was canceled.

That's not our fault.

We're just their Plan B?

It's good that we are Plan B.

Dato's Science Museum will benefit our village.

I like it too, as long as,

it's in the right place.

You're saying it's in wrong place now?

I told you, right?

Hey, Bro, don't talk like you know things,

especially when we have VIP guests.

Relax, relax.

They just come to enjoy the fireflies.

We are lucky to have the connection.

We can invite Dato's favourite singer.

You have to see things and flow with it.

Harris.

Look at the river.

We can go like the flow of water.

Things always have a good and a bad side.

[Mat] If you flip a coin and its bad side shows...

[Mat] We're still okay with plan B.

Our plan B sucks, Bro.

What are you talking about?

Shadow Play is not working.

Forget about Shadow Play.

Then what is our plan B now?

We have much better one, don't we?

What is it, Bro?

What? Kit?!

Bro, you're crazy. My daughter...

Won't do anything like that again.

That was the greatest show I've ever seen.

No, I won't allow her to do that.

Hey.

Your daughter is special. She can communicate with fireflies.

Yeah...

She is sometimes in her own world, but...

She can communicate with people too.

She even cannot communicate with me.

Don't you see it?

Children like your daughter has different talent.

You can grow her talent as a parent.

I've gotta go.

After this event, we can go fishing.

Fish at the upstream.

A lot of fish there. Big ones.

I go first.

[mellow music]

We can show that to Dato'.

I don't know, Boon.

Things are so clear here...

...but sometimes, people cannot see them, and listen.

I never said this to you before.

I really...

I enjoy working with you, Harris.

That's good.

I bet you are going to be a good boatman.

No.

I...

I enjoy going to the library with you.

I don't mind making photo copies for you.

Because I like working with you.

Really?

- Really. - Really?

Stink!

- Stop it, your towel stinks. - You like it?

Stinks!

This weekend...

Let me adjust the contract.

[Ronny's voice] Can you do that? Dato' will kill you.

He doesn't have to know everything, Ronny.

If the plantation owner wants a bigger share, we give him that.

Our share is bigger too.

[Ronny's voice] You mean I'm going to get a bigger share too?

Of course, Ronny.

[Ronny's voice] But how will you do that?

Well, it's just a bit of paper work.

Like magic.

Dato' will get what he wants, just a slightly different location.

I will get him sign this weekend.

[sound of owl]

- [mysterious music] - [Fiza gasps]

They are Khai's friends

Khai?

Don't be scared, Mom.

Do you really believe he is Khai?

Say hi to him.

Say hi to him.

Hi...

My name is F-I-Z-A.

Mom, he knows your name.

He is not Khai.

Why?

- [music swells] - [mysterious voice]

They like you, Mom.

Kit...

He is not Khai.

Why are you saying that?

He cannot be Khai.

[sound of owl]

[eerie music]

[Fiza yells] Kit.

[Fiza] Kit.

[Fiza] Kit.

[Fiza] Dear...

Is he okay?

[Kit gasps]

[tense music]

- [♪ tense music swells ♪] - [Kit gasps more]

- [tense music continues] - [sound of river]

[Harris] It has been two days. She should eat something.

[Fiza] I know...

[music ends]

What?

You asked me before...

When she has lost her interest in learning signing. And why?

Why?

Once, she started asking questions about Khai.

I thought those were strange questions.

Strange questions?

She asked me...

Why Khai died and she didn't.

She even didn't understand what death was at that time.

Remember?

She was missing whole day after that. We searched for her in the jungle.

Yeah, we found her at Mak Minah's house.

She was only four years old.

Yeah.

I think that was the time.

She had changed.

[birds chirping]

Good morning, Harris.

[sound of water]

Morning, Harris. How were the fireflies last night?

[sound of water fades]

What? Fireflies?

Bad! Very bad, Fami!

Kit has not eaten for the last two days.

All fireflies are gone. What's going on?!

Sorry, Fami.

I didn't mean to yell at you.

Rambutan.

Rambutan is tasty.

Good for kids.

[sound of water]

You always holds your lunch on your left hand.

Okay.

See you later.

[loud engine sound]

[engines idling]

Where is the magic girl? Hiding?

We want to watch the magic show.

We missed the show. We don't mind paying.

[loud idling sound]

You thugs, leave us alone, or I will smack every one of you.

Shut off the engine!

We just want to see the magic show.

[mud thrown]

Leave them alone!

You chubby boy.

[tense music]

Don't touch him!

Want to die?

[Fami screaming crazily]

[uptempo music]

Crazy guy!

[Fami screaming crazily]

[music ends]

Thank you, Fami.

Thank you, Fami.

[Fami gasps]

This is...

From Harris.

The flowers...

I thought Kit might like them.

Come, Boon. I will clean you up first.

- [water splashing] - [fun music]

- [Fiza] Turn, turn. - [Boon] Like rain.

[Fiza and Boon yelp playfully]

[music ends]

Eat.

[rooster crowing]

Dark here.

[rooster crowing]

Eat...

Kit...

Kit, eat.

Kit, eat...

Thank you, Boon.

Kit oaky?

Don't worry. I am here for her.

She appreciates your friendship.

Sis...

I want to say something.

In school I am not a smart student.

Actually, I am a bad student.

I cannot memorise all the sign language to be friends with Kit.

You don't need to know all signs to be friends with Kit.

No?!

No. You have been a good friend to Kit for years.

- Really? - Sure.

I believe I'm not that bad and I can do something good for people someday.

Of course. You helped us today, right?

Yeah!

I think I want to be a tourist guide.

I've been watching what they do.

With an international license, I can travel outside of Malaysia.

That's a good idea.

You can tell Kit.

You think she likes the idea?

Of course. She will like traveling the world with you.

Could you do me a favour? Can you take that soup to Mak Minah?

- Can, can. - Thank you.

Mak Minah... I will deliver you the best soup ever.

Kit...

I will take you to travel the world!

[fun music]

[music ends]

Sorry about the firefly.

Please eat.

Stop signing.

I won't learn sign language.

No school.

I will help you.

No!

There is no magic.

Kit doesn't like to talk to me.

She is a strong girl. Will be okay soon.

How do you know that?

I just know.

Head or tail?

Head or tail?

Head.

How did you know that?

I just guessed it.

But...

But... If I said tail, will it make any difference?

What do you mean?

You know...

If I said something different, will that change your life?

Or my life?

That changed how much you like Kit?

Not like that, what are you talking about?

I got an idea.

Please don't tease me.

You'd like Kit to feel better, right?

[hypnotic music]

Tonight is moonless night.

We will easily see the light.

Light?

The light will guide us for something good.

[music fades]

What if no fireflies...

We'll see.

[sound of car approaching]

[military drums]

Dato'!

How are you, sir? Thanks for coming.

You look great. Let's go in. It's hot.

Please, this way.

Thank you for coming.

Here.

It's so hot.

I told you, it's Global Warming. It's so hot...

[muzik tradisional]

So tasty. What kind of oil do they use?

You can do it, Harris. You can do it.

Kit can talk to fireflies. I can talk to Dato'.

Okay., let's go.

[Harris] Hey, what is this?

[Harris struggles] I just want to talk...

Boatman.

[Harris groans painfully]

What are you doing?

You check with Boon.

They like to see fireflies soon.

Faster.

Check now.

[traditional music fades]

[silence]

[mysterious music]

[Kit gasps]

Hey.

We are going to have funeral for him.

[light music playing]

[music is cut off]

[electrical noise]

[classical music plays]

[chanting to music]

See! I knew this plan will work.

[chanting continues]

[waltz swells]

[eerie ambience]

Nice voice...

I have checked everything for you.

[Zack] The land is suitable to build Science Museum, Dato'.

[eerie ambience continues]

You can sign now...

For all is arranged.

All is arranged?

[eerie ambience louder]

[music stops]

[silence]

[Harris] Very sorry for this, sir. Very sorry.

- [singer complains] - [manager apologies]

Useless villager!

Is this how to treat a great artist?

Look at this, Dato'.

Sorry, Dato', and Datin.

But I need to talk to you about this.

All these data...

Please check them, before you sign any contract...

To save our fireflies.

Dato', don't listen to him.

What does he know? He is just a boatman.

The fireflies really need this land, Dato'.

You can still build your museum, but a bit to the north, Dato.

[emotional music swells]

[Zack] Dato'...

[Zack] Dato'...

[Datin] Darling.

We have never been "there". Why don't we go?

Huh?

If we see the fireflies "there", maybe it is a bad idea to build anything "there".

[Datin] Right, my darling?

That's an excellent idea, dear.

Dato', it's not necessary.

[Dato' Haiman] Can we go "there" to see fireflies now?

Yes, Dato'.

We go to the river.

Thank you, Dato'. Thank you, Datin.

Don't worry. They haven't seen fireflies for quite sometime.

[sound of river]

[Mak Minah] God...

Please let it return to its place and be in peace.

[mysterious voice]

Stop.

I think it is safe here.

Stop. Let it go here.

He is safe here. You can let him go.

[emotional music]

[mysterious voice]

[Kit sobs]

[sound of mosquito]

[Dato' Haiman] What is your name?

[Harris] It's a bit windy tonight, but maybe later...

I just asked your name.

Sorry, Dato'.

Harris. My name is Harris.

I appreciate you take us here tonight, Harris.

Dato'.

I think you can build your Science Museum here.

Please proceed.

Do you want me to do that?

I...

I don't know what I want...

What happened, Harris?

Darling... what is that?

It is coming to us...

Against the current.

Is that a firefly?

Not just a firefly...

A lot of fireflies.

[classical music]

Who is the girl?

My daughter.

[classical music swells]

[classical music swells]

[music ends]

[interpreter] It is not easy to see what is right or wrong sometimes.

But one sure thing is...

Our world will be healthier, when it is balanced.

[interpretor] I like to introduce this as a good case study.

The collaboration between the organisations and the local community.

[interpretor] Our village was losing our fireflies and their habitat.

We were losing not only the balance of environment...

But also the balance of our lives.

[interpretor] We are still in the stage of recovery, but please look at this.

This is the habitation of fireflies in five years in our village.

[audience clap hands and cheer]

Hi...

I am Kit.

You never heard my voice. This is the voice of my heart.

[sound of river]

In this world, anything can be magical.

As long as we believe and try.

We can make magic happen.
