Synopsis

Three childhood friends Poh Sin, Victor and Felix, grow up in the shadow of a major Malaysian crime overlord, Thomas Li.

Li's wealth comes from human trafficking which Victor manages for him. There's fierce between Malaysian and Hong Kong trades to move people from China to Europe and sure enough gang war erupts following a particularly vicious relationship with Poh Sin.

To complicate matters a girl is stranded and killed in Germany when Victor and Poh Sin are there to deliver Chinese labor.

When they return to Malaysia and another girl disappears, the evidence points to Victor.

With leads from Germany, Gilbert and some illegal immigrants caught by Victor's nemesis Inspector Ravi, the police interrogate Victor over the dead and missing girls. New evidence from Germany suggests there's more to these crimes than just Victor.

Emperor, the first full feature debut of Juliane Block and Adrian Lai, is a taut thriller that explores inter-personal relationships within an Asian crime family revealing in the process who's really using who.
