Sultan Mahmood Mangkat Di-Julang [The Passing of Sultan Mahmood]
Film Synopsis
Based on a 17th century folklore, the narrative is speckled with romance, murder, political conspiracies and explores the notion of loyalty within a feudalistic society. For successfully defeating plundering pirates, Sultan Mahmood promotes the protagonist to Admiral. This incites resentment from a royal member of the court, especially when the Admiral also marries the beautiful woman that he rescued. The political rivalry ultimately leads to tragedy and upheaval in the kingdom.
