On February 29, 1896, Budi is born and magically only ages once every four years. He lives through many historical periods of Malaysia. Though some may consider it a gift, his long life can also be a curse as he faces the reality of seeing the ones he loves die.

Produced by the creative powerhouse KRU Studios, 29 Februari is a decades-spanning fantasy-epic in the vein of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. A romantic fantasy that blends historical footage with live-action, the special effects work made it a landmark in the annals of Malaysian cinema.
