🎞️ Synopsis
In late-1990s Malaysia, widowed farmer and ritual healer Hong-Im struggles to protect her family and resist the seizure of local farmland. As colonial-era conflicts resurface, spirits, black magic, and political pressure begin to shape everyday life.

Mother Bhumi presents land as more than property or scenery. It is where memory, belief, labour, and survival meet, and where protecting a home may also mean protecting the knowledge and rituals rooted in the land.

​九〇年代末的馬來西亞,寡婦農民兼收驚師鳳音,一邊守護家人,一邊抵抗當地農地被徵收。殖民時期的舊帳浮現,鬼神、蠱術與政治壓力開始滲進日常。

​《地母》把土地寫成不只是財產或風景。那是記憶、信仰、勞動與生存交會的地方;守住家園,同時也是守住扎根於土地的知識與儀式。
