Abstract
Gumbak, Kuleh, Lichat and Xiao Hui are four curious and playful children of different races – Iban, Kayan, Bidayuh and Chinese. They are the best of friends and spent a lot of time together. Gumbak invites his three friends to his sister’s Iban wedding ceremony at his Iban rumah panjai (longhouse). While the adults are engrossed with the wedding ceremony, the children accidentally break a tajau (traditional jar), the tuai rumah’s precious family inheritance. Join them on their nerve wracking adventure to escape the wrath of jar.
