在1968年3月24日举行的马华公会第18届年度大会上，马华公会总会长敦陈修信宣布，该政党将启动建立高等教育机构的举措，以帮助那些因未能获得大马教育证书考试MCE所需成绩而无法继续升学的学生。

此宣布为来自不同地区的美丽、阿源、拉扎里和拉玛带来了希望。通过他们的视角，我们看到在当时动荡不安的政治背景下，投入参与建立东姑阿都拉曼学院（TARC）的人们，特别是许启谟和敦陈修信，历经两年努力不懈的奋斗。此片也同时表现了第一批在拉曼学院(TARC)毕业的学生，如何透过该学院成立所带来的机遇，令他们在生活、困境、精神与成就上有着不一样的体验。

In its 18th Annual General Meeting on the 24th March 1968, MCA’s President, Tun Tan Siew Sin announced that the political party will initiate a move to establish a higher education institution to address the concerns of students who were unable to further their education as they could not obtain the required grades for MCE. 

This announcement gave hope to May Li, Ah Yuan, Razali and Rama who were from different parts of the country. Through their eyes, we see the struggle of the people who had played a role in setting up TARC (Tunku Abdul Rahman College) in just two years, particularly Khaw Kai Boh and Tun Tan Siew Sin amidst the turbulent political scenario at that time. The lives, dilemmas, spirits, as well as the achievements of the first batch of TARC students are seen with the opportunities presented with the establishment of TARC.
