Katie Goes to KL

A coming-of-age tale of love and cultural reconnection set in modern-day Kuala Lumpur. Katie Chen, 16, lives in the unremarkable suburb of Narre Warren in Australia with her somewhat reclusive Malaysian father. Coming to Australia when she was 5 and losing her mother at 7, she has always struggled with issues of identity. One day, she goes back to Malaysia for her grandmothers funeral and discovers that her mother long-thought-dead is alive. Set in a fictionalised Kuala Lumpur (KL), Katie struggles to reconnect with her mother whom she discovers is Malay. Navigating KLs underground music scene and the underlying tensions of a country she doesnt understand, how far is Katie willing to go to find a place to belong?
