Five out of the six shorts chronicle the various stages of a romantic affair between Amber (Melissa Maureen Rizal) and Harris/Man (who is played by three different actors: Gavin Yap, Mark Teh, Alvin Wong). The final short, Majidee, does not feature Amber but instead has Harris (Tora Andika) having a conversation with a man (Azman Hassan) while walking through Kuala Lumpur.

Reception
CInemagazine found that the anthology "'scores a sufficient score when assessed as a whole, but the scores of the individual films vary widely. However, this collection is recommended for fans of Malaysian film and culture."[9]
