Sayang is the story of Eko, a Warden of the Bornean forest. Faced with gradual sight loss, Eko is drawn to an experimental technology that would make him one with his sanctuary—at the cost of a self-imposed exile from which he may never return.

"The most enthralling part of Sayang is, undeniably, its immersive soundscape. In filling out the imaginary landscape that hosts growling tigers and ulin trees (Bornean ironwood), sound designer Nathaniel Mah combines a lush futuristic score with the rich chatter of a living forest."
— Shawn Hoo, The Straits Times
"Masterfully sound-designed... Sayang knows exactly what to give us upfront—a tender romance, a lush, vivid setting—and what to unfold gradually: a tense conflict between nature and technology, and the stories of the humans caught between them."
— Tau Zaman, The Whisperforge
