- Synopsis
- Set in Borneo Malaysia, [The Tour] begins in the mountains, whirls within the city, and crashes into the sea. A film set within three environments that weave the story of a love affair between two tour guides which violently tears them apart, thus leaving only the observant landscape to bear witness.
