Zafreen Zairizal plays 12-year-old Zaffan, the first among her friends to go through puberty. As her body undergoes dramatic changes, the young girl is ostracized by her friends and her village. But through time, Zaffan learns to accept the physical changes she fears, and emerges as a proud, strong woman. Malaysia's Oscar nominee Tiger Stripes is a strong feminist statement with mythological references and striking visual and sound design.
