La Luna features Malay acting heavyweights Sharifah Amani in the role of the protagonist Hanie, Shaheizy Sam in the role of her romantic interest, Police Chief Salihin, and Wan Hanafi Su in the role of the intolerant mullah Tok Hassan, who espouses hatred. The film, shot in Malay, centers on the advent of Hanie Abdullah, a courageous urbanite, into the stuffy and traditional Muslim community of Bras Basah, Malaysia.
The plot concentrates on the storefront that she plans to establish on the vacant property bequeathed to her late grandfather. Hanie opened La Luna, an expensive lingerie business, in Bras Basah, a lonely and stuffy village, to boast about the ‘bra’ component. Hanie’s loyal clientele grows despite the initial outrage in the village, as dormant marriages are rekindled.
Life was only that easy. The trailer shows village mullah Tok Hassan and his fanatical supporters attacking Hanie with religious intolerance and orthodoxy, despite the Police Chief’s support and her apparent romantic interest in Salihin Arshad The filmmaker says reading about a 15-year-old lingerie store fire and ruins inspired the film.
Despite its amusing and pleasant concept, La Luna represents a difficult yet rewarding journey. La Luna challenges norms and encourages women’s empowerment and feminism, inspiring, challenging, and even making you cry or giggle into your popcorn.
