Finding Darla



A tale of two women across time, destined to find each other against the odds

Darla Roland Fernandez is an aspiring Sabahan actress who yearns for her big break. When a promising role brings her across the South China Sea, she quickly proves her worth as an actress, and everyone, especially her co-star, Donny Chiew, takes notice.

Nandhini Ganesan, a writer retrenched during the Covid-19 pandemic, struggles to make ends meet in the city of Kuala Lumpur. Hiding her current unemployment status from her family, she leads an exhausting double life until she discovers an old, abandoned car and her deceased grandmother begins appearing in her dreams, leaving a cryptic message for her to decipher.

With the help of a reformed gangster, an elderly hoarder, and an old friend, Nandhini begins to piece together the puzzle that her grandmother has left her. As one clue leads to another, Nandhini soon finds the thread that ties her to Darla. But is it too late? Can she help Darla protect what matters most?

This story of love, loss, and grief reminds us that everyone deserves to be remembered.
