‘Malaises’ /Uncomfortable
Directed by Eléonore Merlin & Anna Salzberg (France)
2007, 28 minutes

Synopsis
Aisyah and Oubaïdah, are two Malay women who are seemingly very different from each other, their common bond is that essentially they are both women and both muslim. Aisyah is a young emancipated person who enjoys the hectic lifestyle of Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. Oubaidah, has single handedly raised seven children. She is a delegate of PAS, the Islamic party and living in Kelantan (*then) the only state of Malaysia steered by this political formation.

Both women provide their insights on work, sexuality and their relationships with men. We see in their answers, contradictions that echo and reflect off each other, often raising the burning questions of the challenges, battles for identity and place in a Muslim society in the midst of transition.

WHEN AND WHERE?
