Punggok Rindukan Bulan: Paparan Hidup Urban Kelas Bawahan
Synopsis: A film about a boy, barely in secondary school, Sidi and his father Adman, who both unknowingly cope with the sudden absence of a key female figure in their life. Set in the border town of Johor Bahru, Malaysia. The literal meaning of the title is a Malay saying "like the owl misses the moon" a reflection of unrequited (and unconsummated) longing.
Sinopsis:
Tentang Sidi (Saeful Nazhif Satria) yang meningkat remaja dan bapanya Adman (Sharonizam Noor) yang tinggal di sebuah flet kos rendah di Johor Bahru yang dihuni karakter-karakter unik. Suatu hari, suri mereka (Maya Karin) pergi tanpa meninggalkan pesan. Awalnya Sidi terbuai dengan kebebasan automatik yang timbul sesuai dengan gejolak remajanya dan mula bersekolah sendirian. Manakala memancing dan menikmati lagu dan filem Melayu lama, barangkali bagaimana Adman memenuhi ruang kosong raga dan jiwa. Lama kelamaan ruang-ruang sempit di flet itu menjadi terlalu luas dan akhirnya bisa merenggangkan mereka berdua.
Banyak bicara yang tak terungkap antara mereka semua, mungkin kerana rindu yang terlalu membungkam
