The richest man in Asia dies suddenly under mysterious circumstances but returns as a ghost with unfinished business. A whodunit ensues when two eager detectives chase leads and suspects including all his three children. Auteur Glen Goei casts his wicked black humor to expose the heart of darkness in the patriarchal order that lurks beneath the success of Modern Asia.
With the assistance of cinematographer Larry Smith (EYES WIDE SHUT), Goei makes the most out of his only location (a 19th-century mansion in Georgetown, Malaysia). With an Agatha Christie like feel, THE BLUE MANSION is a sophisticated film that will have the audience guessing until the end.

Cina, a Chinese Christian, and Annisa, a Malaysian Muslim, both love God dearly. However, these two cannot be in love with each other since they call God by different names. Cina is an outgoing and optimistic freshman, while Annisa is an actress and aspiring film director whose fame and beauty left her lonely. They overcome the gap between each other and fall in love despite the differences in personality and background. However, they can’t overcome their difference in faith. CIN(T)A not only has the rawness and passion of the indie film but also the fast-paced and stylish music video-esque quality. Thanks to the immaculate execution of the director, Sammaria Aimanjuntak, ethno-religious conflict in a multicultural society like Indonesia is smoothly integrated into a love story as racial, religious and cultural collisions tear the world of two lovebirds apart.
