SYNOPSIS - THE HEALER (Penawar)

Kisah dua jiwa yang lara, ditemukan ketika bergelumang mengharungi cubaan hidup di kotaraya London.

Luqman, seorang tukang urut Melayu, dan Shifa, seorang pelacur, tinggal berjiran. Setelah berkenalan mereka akhirnya jatuh cinta. Sejarah hitam, prinsip hidup dan keegoan menjadi batu penghalang pada mereka untuk mencurahkan rasa hati.

Kini mereka berada dipersimpangan dan satu keputusan harus diambil. Mahukah mereka terus bergelap di penjara takdir ataupun masing-masing membuka pintu hati mencari sinar kehidupan yang baru.


A poetic tragedy of two failing hearts disunited by the tests of life. Luqman, a Malay traditional masseur, lived next door to Shifa, the prostitute. Their friendship quickly blossomed as both developed feelings for each other. However their pasts, individual beliefs and consequences were holding them back from expressing their true feelings.

This is a story of unsettling love that is ruptured as it about to begin. They were caught in a dilemma. A decision has to be made, either retreat and imprison themselves in the darkness of fate or head for the light and succumb to their hearts’ will.
