- An unexpected romance between a Malay Muslim woman and a Chinese man whose parents run a roast pork stall.
- The film is an ode to the pioneering Thai performance artist Paisan Plienbanchang who passed away in July 2015. In February 2015, Nizam and fellow artists Jeremy Hiah, Dennis Tan and Han Xiaohan traveled to the Mekong River to join their friend Paisan on a community art project. On the trip, they found out that Paisan is suffering from late-stage pancreatic cancer. To Paisan is a documentation of a spontaneous performance they did at a site known as the 9000 Holes and a moving farewell to a friend.
- "You believe that you can capture reality. But it is impossible. You can always go further." With Kiarostami's thesis on the nature of cinema and reality as inspiration and starting point, 'Breaking the Ice' explores the boundaries between film and performance, the nature of art versus life, and the question of what it means to be an artist. Centered on a filmed performance art by Singaporean artist Jeremy Hiah, the film deconstructs and reconfigures the footage with both imagined and actual images from the artist's daily life, attempting to arrive at the essential truth of reality that eludes the lens of the camera. A Nizam's first feature-length work since 2008's 'Keronchong For Pak Bakar', 'Breaking the Ice' is a thought-provoking discourse between artist and filmmaker, and between performance and cinema.
