In the evocative landscape of 1930s colonial Malaysia, 'The Night Tiger' weaves a tale of a young dressmaker and a boy on a supernatural quest. Ji Lin, an ambitious apprentice dressmaker, doubles as a dancehall girl to pay off her family debts. When an eerie memento falls into her hands during a dance, it becomes the key to an unforeseen adventure. Concurrently, the young houseboy Ren is on a race against time. Tasked with finding his deceased master's severed finger, he has 49 days to reunite it with the corpse to pacify the wandering soul. As a string of inexplicable deaths plague the district amidst rumors of men morphing into tigers, Ji Lin and Ren's paths intertwine through a tapestry of plantations, spectral realms, and societal expectations. Bound by the threads of age-old superstitions, sibling tensions, and blossoming affections, their journey is a deep dive into love's complexities and cultural legacies.
