When celebrity actress Ayra Natasha's glamorous life unravels in one humiliating night - a red carpet disaster, a cheating boyfriend, and a viral disappearance, she finds herself in the back seat of a stranger's car, ugly-crying into a box of tissues. Her unlikely rescuer is Imran Firdaus, an e-hailing driver with nowhere particular to be and no reason to care… except that he does. What begins as a forced arrangement - Imran hired as Ayra's personal driver to contain a tabloid storm slowly becomes the one real thing in both their lives. But Ayra belongs to a carefully constructed world of sponsors, film contracts, and a power couple narrative that her manager-sister Maya cannot afford to let fall apart. Kata Hati is a Malay-language romantic comedy about the words we perform for the world, and the ones we only dare say to the ones we love.

Inspector Dewi (Sharifah Amani) is assigned to investigate the case of a missing teenage girl, Anna (Khayrani Kemal) in Tanah Merah, a remote town. Her presence is unwelcome to the townspeople, including her fellow inspector Rizal (Taqim Zaki), and she faces fierce opposition from Anna's father, Hussein (Rosyam Nor), who is also a wealthy man in Tanah Merah and has no faith whatsoever in Dewi's ability to carry out her duties. Many people are suspected of being behind Anna's disappearance - all with their own motives. Could it be Kamal (Azhan Rani), a loan shark, or Anna's ex-boyfriend Azlan (Fadhli Masoot)? Or could it be Anna's mother (Sherie Merlis) who is willing to plot to stake her own child's life? Can Dewi unravel the mystery of Anna's disappearance when she begins to be weighed down by internal conflicts that increasingly haunt her?

The annual Chinese spring festival dinner gets a little complicated when the family's only son brings home his Senegalese girlfriend.

Motif focuses on a police investigation and its most obvious innovation is the female perspective that the director imposes. Protagonist Dewi (Sharifah Amani) is a police officer who is sent from the capital of Kuala Lumpur to a provincial area, Tanah Merah (lit. “Red Earth”), to investigate the disappearance of the young daughter of the local community’s richest family. From the beginning, her arrival is greeted with distrust by her male colleagues, who are doubly annoyed by the fact of having an outsider who is also a woman intrude in the community.
