Anak Halal

The film opens with the wanted criminal Hisham pleading with Mariam, a mentally ill woman who lives in a hallway, to adopt his son. Mariam agrees and takes the child into her care, hoping to save him from a life in crime. The moment sets in motion a fragile guardian-ward relationship that will shape Putera's future.

Mariam ends up raising the child and names him Inderaputera. He grows up under her care in the slums, shielded from some of the law's reach. The bond between guardian and ward becomes the starting point of his troubled life.

Hisham is finally captured by the police following a shootout, ending his attempt to disappear with his son. The arrest cuts off any immediate rescue and leaves Mariam to raise Inderaputera alone. The world grows harsher for the boy as authorities tighten control.

Putera grows up in the slums near Bu Leha, while Jo secretly loves him. Their childhood dynamic hints at unspoken emotions and competing loyalties. The urban tragedy of their environment solidifies their bond.

Authorities separate Putera from Mariam, a turning point that brings him a surprising sense of relief. The separation frees him from the immediate guardianship yet exposes him to life on the streets. The event marks the end of Mariam's direct care over Putera.

Bu Leha moves Putera and Jo to Kuala Lumpur hoping for a better life, but they end up as homeless youths. They survive by scavenging in the city and learning to navigate its dangers. The move shifts Putera's world from the slums to the harsh metropolis.

Putera works in a garage to earn money, while Jo and her mother hawk fruits at Chow Kit Market. Erzan, Milya, Danial, Shah, and other friends form a tight-knit group that negotiates life in the city through small-time schemes. The ensemble becomes Putera's urban family.

Amira Atikah, a teenage girl struggling with drugs, enters the group and introduces Putera to new emotions and the fragility of love. Her presence adds color to their grim reality and deepens Putera's emotional vulnerabilities. The scenario foreshadows the dangers surrounding them.

Tajul's mounting debt pressures his circle, pushing Erzan toward drug trafficking to settle the accounts. The financial strain creates a dangerous ripple that pulls Putera's circle toward violent crime. The tension foreshadows a violent confrontation.

Tajul hunts down Ijam and Erzan, resulting in Ijam's death. Tajul then pressures Erzan to provide all the available drugs, escalating the danger around Putera. The gang's world becomes more violent and unstable.

Erzan is shot dead by Jeff and Lut after returning drugs, and Putera with Shah chase the killers but fail to stop them. This marks a brutal turning point that fuels Putera's revenge mindset. The losses deepen his alienation from those around him.

Amira Atikah dies as a result of drug abuse, galvanizing Putera to hunt Tajul and his associates for revenge. The death underscores the human cost of their criminal world and pushes Putera toward a violent mission. The group becomes more radicalized in response to tragedy.

Putera reaches Tajul's residence and confronts the source of their nightmare. Hisham remains in the shadows, pressuring Tajul. Tajul is shot dead by Johanna during the tense confrontation, ending his threat but escalating the feud.

Putera confronts his father Hisham in a violent climax, shooting him. The group flees with Mariam and friends but are eventually cornered and imprisoned by the police. The ending seals the tragedy of Putera's life in a city that never forgave him.
