SCRIPT READING: Kemas | Show Introduction

In Malay, kemas means tidy or neat—organised, well-placed, well-managed. But what if this organisation is invisible? What if it cannot be seen?

Three woman are tidying: One is tidying to start her life anew, another is organising her past memories before they fade, and the last is collecting everything that she can.

Explore the myriad meanings of kemas through the stories of these three women.
