Malaysian film, Maryam Pagi Ke Malam, has won two awards at the 21st Asian Film Festival in Rome, Italy.
Directed by Badrul Hisham Ismail, the film won Most Original Film, with lead actress Datin Sofia Jane bagging the Best Actress award. But of course, it’s safe to assume you probably haven’t heard much talk about this film. Its premise might be the reason why.

Centred around Maryam, a 50-year-old gallery owner who comes from an aristocratic family, the film follows our lead as she seeks blessings from her father (Omar Abdullah) to marry her young foreigner boyfriend from Sierra Leone. He, of course, refuses to give his blessing.
What ensues is…
‘State governments should give more priority to sports funding’
