Missing

Directed by Khin Myanmar

Five-year-old Pan Nu loves both her mum and her older sister but it is her dad who really
has a special place in her heart. One day she wakes up to discover he has disappeared.
Mum says he has gone on a business trip abroad but if so, why has he left behind his
glasses and fountain pen? Pan Nu deeply misses her father and becomes convinced her
mother and sister are keeping something from her. Then a spiteful friend reveals the
shocking truth. Based on true events in the screenwriter’s own family when her father was
taken as a political prisoner, Missing is one of the first fiction films in Myanmar to address
the wrongs of the previous military dictatorship and show its effect not only on individual
activists but also on their families.
