As reported on Oriental Daily, the movie, which is currently filming in the state of Kedah, is helmed by critically acclaimed "Snow in Midsummer" director Chong Keat Aun and is a co-production between Malaysia and Italy.

The story "Mother Bhumi" is set in a village on the Malaysia-Thailand border, with Fan playing a peasant woman who helps villagers with their problems through exorcism. However, an encounter with a mysterious ghost reveals a secret behind her husband's death.

Aside from Fan, the movie also co-stars Taiwanese actor Bai Run-yin and Hong Kong actress Natalie Hsu.
