Sepet was a delightful but bittersweet comedy about the romance of a young Malay girl named Orked (Sharifah Amani) and a young Chinese boy named Jason (Choo Seong Ng). The film ended on an ambiguous note, leaving the future of Orked hanging in the balance. This follow-up picks up the story seven years later, and appears to resolve the open ending of the previous film.

Gubra [Anxiety] tells a story of love and forgiveness, its possibilities and the hopes it brings. Essentially there are two stories which parallel each other, the first is the continuation of Orked’s (Sepet’s protagonist) life while the second tells the story of a muezzin; Pak Bilal Li and his efforts to assist two prostitutes in finding redemption for themselves and their families.
