Past Lives (2023) – What If Timing Was the Only Thing That Got in the Way
A quiet film that does not demand your tears but earns them. It explores love that lingers, timing that fails, and the silence between what was and what could have been.

The story follows the journey of two women, Aminah and Liz, who are forced to confront the dilemma of separating from their respective children, Kasih and Mia, after discovering that the children they have raised for the past 7 years were switched at birth. Liz is a successful businesswoman while Aminah sells nasi lemak. The conflict between them begins when Liz refuses to allow her ward Mia to live in hardship after being handed over to Aminah. She desires to care for both Kasih and Mia. The conflict between Aminah and Liz ends with a court decision that the children must be returned to their biological mothers. Mia gradually accepts Aminah as her biological mother, but Kasih frequently cries due to the busy schedules of Liz and her husband, Henry.
