Roda Ceketeng

2017

A heartfelt underdog sports drama with family conflict and village racing, easy to watch and mildly tense.

Overview: It tells the story of Norman's intention to become a daredevil motorcycle racer, which faces opposition from his father Pak Jamil, resulting in him being thrown out of the house. However, not long after bearing his disappointment in the city, Norman plans to return to the village due to financial difficulties. However, his wish does not come true when he is injured during a motorcycle race. He then stays at Johan's house and refuses to return home because he remembers the past when his father drove him away. Pak Jamil remains stubborn despite being persuaded by his wife and daughter. Taib is the instigator who often slanders Norman because he wants to win the heart of Sarah, who is Norman's love. Sarah gives Norman a Ceketeng (sidecar motorcycle) to enter the Annual Ceketeng Race held in his village, which was previously won by Pak Jamil three times in a row. Norman's Ceketeng has been sabotaged and Pak Jamil withdraws from the race and gives his Ceketeng for Norman to use.
