Brief Explanation

These days, we’re all too familiar with obsolescence. We no longer use the CD player we bought ten years ago, our computers are outdated the day we buy them, even the light bulb has been reinvented to be brighter and longer-lasting. This film features vignettes of things that no longer have a role and are jobless. So people give them a new life. These obsolete objects are used in new ways, many of them are quite charming, such as a Maxis paper bill being used as a nasi lemak wrap.
