KUALA LUMPUR -- A contemporary Chinese Malaysian career woman thinks that loving a man of a different race and being his mistress may be the best the world has in store for her -- until her past turns her world upside down.
Fifty years earlier, a mixed-race boy leaves Kuala Lumpur to follow his extravagant Malay mother to a hidden hill in the remote Cameron Highlands. At 6 years of age, the boy is too young to understand life in the community of part-hippies, part-dropouts that inhabits the Muhibbah Center for World Peace.
