Gadong is a story that captures the dreams of immigrants through the eyes of Saleem, a barber in Brunei, who battles immense difficulties and debts amid the economic downturn caused by the pandemic. While the world in the grip of lockdown, where barbers seem unnecessary, Saleem's only wish is to reunite with his family in India. Yet, he carries the burden of fulfilling his late father's dream of opening a shop in Gadong, Brunei's most prestigious district. Through the highs and lows, Saleem is supported by his best friends, Zakaria and Raja. They are soon joined by Azam, a much-needed breath of fresh air who transforms the business. For the first time in a long time, Saleem's dreams begin to take shape.
