Papadom    Papadom is a beautiful family film. It tells the story of single father who is protective of his daughter. The nasi kandar business provides the backdrop of the film and the comedy is an assured thing, given this is an Afdlin’s movie. Put ourselves in a single father’s position. How far would we go to protect our daughter? In Papadom, Afdlin narrated the different phases in his life; during the period his wife is still around, during the time he first lost the wife, to the period when the lovely daughter leaves to university.
