22nd of May Page #2

Synopsis: Sam wakes up, gets ready and goes to do his daily job. And then the unexpected happens. A bomb explodes in the center of the shopping mall where he works. He drags himself towards the entrance to save the victims. One by one he pulls them out, until something terrible takes place. In complete hysteria he runs off till he falls down from exhaustion. A woman's voice makes him raise his head. She's one of the victims he saved. She wants to know why the suicide bomber did it. This encounter projects him back in history and even in a surreal world. Thereafter he runs into everyone he saved and feels that their defeat shows many parallels with his own. Even his confrontation with the wrongdoer isn't that straightforward as he thought it would be and confronts him with the fact that guilt and innocence can be pretty much alike.

Everything has

But why meet only

to say goodbye?

Congratulations

groom's going to be here any minute

We've fed you and everything

Who chose this flower?

Let it be I like it

It doesn't belong here Let's

Adam's right

There's more than one flower in

the world, especially camelias

Hi! Peace be with you all!

Peace be with you!

Gina

It's Dina

Dina Her name's Dina

Dina, sorry

Congratulations!

Isn't that the crazy sister

you were telling me about?

Shh, they're a couple now

Congratulations,

give me a kiss

I'll be your sister in-law,

so, you've to kiss me,

Honey, the flower's so pretty

It's okay, I understand

These are so beautifuI!

Are they for the bridaI gifts?

Yes!

They're so beautifuI!

They're so pretty, Adam!

I love weddings

Do you know that Adam

and I met at a wedding?

We lost touch for years

and when we met again,

it was like a bolt of lightning We

were instantly attracted to each other

Oh, honey, honey

Where's your mother?

I haven"t seen her

She's downstairs

I'll go downstairs for a while

Say hello to her

Get her blessing

Or another

lightning will strike

No You wait here,

okay? Don't go anywhere

Go ahead

Don't go anywhere,

okay? I won't take long

Don't go anywhere, okay

Wait or me

Okay

Mama?

Brother

She loves me

Peace be with you!

Thank you for coming

Thank you for coming

Mama, I'm sorry

Mak Yam, I'm about to make a speech

Just be prepared in case it goes too loud

Peace be with you How are you?

Good!

Great, folks from

Taiping are here too

To all our guests, I'd like to

say a million thanks for coming

And to those who are uninvited

but still come, it's fine

Thank you all for celebrating my

dearest baby sister's wedding today

To the lucky guy,

what was your name again?

- Ross

What"s your name?

RoseRoss It's Ross

I know his nameRoss

I was just kidding

But we can see that they

match each other in every way

Isn"t it?

Ya

Because they got

matching clothes

And like the Malays would say,

they're like two halves of a coconut

To find out about Dina

and Ross' love story

or their nickname, Diana Ross,

Let's take a look

at their love story

Come over so we

could all watch the TV

Both of them are sensitive

My family members are known

for their sensitiveness,

but they"re extreme

Also since preschooI,

they were known to be smart

My sister's way too smart

and a bit violent too,

So, Ross should consider

buying an insurance policy

Ross is hopeless with maps,

so, don't ever ask him for

directions to the jungle

Both of them are equally kind,

equally strong

And often extend a

helping hand to others

They are good and they

are very strong people

But the most

important thing of all,

they love each other very much

In a marriage, it's important

to get the ingredients right

And I feeI that Dina and Ross

have all the right ingredients

May both of you live

happily ever after

I wish to congratulate

both you, Dina and Ross

Congratulations

to your wedding

And to all you shameless

people, let's eat

I've made this cake

for you to take home

Thank you

Stop that, will you!

Non stop

Adam

llyana So you got my card,

I mean, my sister's card

So how's married life?

You did not attend my wedding

I'm a bit busy

Have a lot of work to do

If you had, you'd know

that it was cancelled

What, cancelled?

Adam, I'm someone

who knows what I want

I'm sure of my choices

UntiI I met you

After that I'm not sure

about anything anymore

It's strange

How life changes in

the blink of an eye

It's really strange

But why you didn"t tell me?

Alex told me that

you're engaged

Maybe there's no more

us, it's not meant to be

I don't know why I came

I just

I just wanted to see you

And

And?

To say goodbye

I'm moving to Melbourne

I'm leaving tonight

No, no, no You

can't do this to me

Oh no! The cake fell!

What have you done?!

Can you wait for me here?

Can you?

Don't go anywhere

I warned you,

don"t play and run

What happened here?

Don't worry, mama

from the restaurant

We don't have any more time

Relax, mum, there's still time

I'll rush over now

Maybe I can help

No, it's ok

Give it to me

This looks quite bad

This should get you home

Thank you

You're welcome

New shoes?

Yes

Another pair of Roadrunners?

Actually, the other day it

was my fault not the shoes

I just couldn't stop running

Were you running away or

running towards something?

If you plan to run some

more, find shoes with air cond

Air cond?

Yes, air cond Your

feet won't get hot

And then you can

run without stopping

I'll make a move first

Ok

Good morning, boss

I got an idea

What idea?

New shoes, with air cond

Air cond?

Not reaI air cond

It's like a cooling mechanism

Your feet heats

up when running

We need something to

conduct the heat away Simple

I'm sure the technology

exists, just that

Ashraf, come here

I want to show you something

I want to make a new

shoe with air cond

Air can go in and get out from here,

to keep out feet cooI all the time

Is this a good shoe?

What do you think,

Ashraf, will it work?

Certainly

That's what I thought

Try to put it on

Is it nice?

Ok, I am going for a run

I'm testing the shoe

I'll come back later

I want to show you something

Shoes with air cond

Really

Take a look

Where did you get this?

I made it

Really?

Yes I have shoe factory

Roadrunner is your company?

Yes

Ok Good

Now you can run

as far as you want

I don't feeI that's

necessary anymore

Marya

You want to know why I'm

often here, don't you?

I like coming here

because of the children

They make me happy

Don't you have any?

I've been trying for 7 years

But still no luck

I want to know something too

Why are you always running?

I run so that I can breathe

So that I won't be

suffocated by guilt

My wife passed

away because of me

But now you've stopped

It's because of you
