Rasa Sayang
RASA SAYANG is a coming-of-age drama about love, legacy, and the quiet battles fought behind closed doors.
Isaac, a quiet but curious Peranakan teenager, stumbles upon the legacy of Francis
Hogan—a legendary Wayang Peranakan performer celebrated for his cross-dressing roles. Moved by the beauty and freedom of the art form, Isaac auditions for the lead in a modern-day Peranakan Wayang. But his decision draws the ire of his father, a conservative accountant who struggles to reconcile his love for his son with his fear of public shame.
As tensions simmer at the family dinner table, Isaac is caught between cultural tradition and personal truth. What begins as a performance soon becomes a deeper search for belonging, not just for Isaac, but for his father, too.
Through song, dance, heartache, and quiet moments of resistance, RASA SAYANG
explores how far love can stretch in the face of difference—and whether acceptance is possible, even when it’s hard.
