KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 24 (Bernama) -- To celebrate the year-end festivities, PETRONAS presents ‘With Open Hearts', a film directed by Subashnaveen Balakrishnan that explores the power of embracing all possibilities to progress together as one.
 
Set against the rich, vibrant backdrop of Peranakan culture, the film follows Su Lin, a young girl whose life has always been shaped by her deep connection with her mother. Her mother was her only source of comfort, guidance, and love - until the day her mother decides to marry a new man.
 
As her mother welcomes a new chapter in her life, Su Lin is overwhelmed by emotions she cannot easily express. Two against the world no more, she is torn between the love she has for her mother and the uncertainty of accepting a new person into their small, familiar world.
 
Su Lin's journey is one of shifting perspectives, from seeing things from her mother’s lens to realising the importance of embracing change with an open heart. The film reflects upon the core value of Malaysia’s rich cultural diversity, and how its shared progress thus far is the result of such acceptance and complementing values.
 
“Through this film, PETRONAS aims to inspire viewers to reflect on how we can all contribute to building a stronger, more harmonious society by embracing new beginnings with open hearts, one that must come from a place of love, tolerance and mutual respect for each other,” said PETRONAS Senior General Manager of Strategic Communications, Group Strategic Relations and Communications, Siti Azlina Abdul Latif.
 
'With Open Hearts' premieres on 24 December 2024 on PETRONAS' official YouTube and Facebook pages. Join us as we begin 2025 with an open heart, ready to embrace the possibilities that lie ahead.
