Berg arrives in Kuala Lumpur and by chance meets

other occupants cope and reason with what had happened.
About the movie:
James Lee's new full length feature film Room to Let is a
lingering study of the strangely humdrum existence of a
group of listless youths who share an innercity house.
The tight confines of the house cause frequent intrusions
of privacy and intimate encounters, but the static mood of
the film hints at a kind of entropy, a sort of emotional
detachment which the characters also share. Yet the
beautifully shot sequences portray the film's aloofness
and give it unexpected lushness. Director JAMES LEE, who
hails from Malaysia, offers up a twisted tale of longing,
lost love and lust.
