ld identical twin brothers Upin and Ipin are five-year-oliving in a well-off Malay-Muslim household with their sister Ros and maternal grandmother Uda ("Opah"), albeit being orphans (in episode six, the twins, Ros and Opah were seen to visit their parents' graves), in a village known as Kampung Durian Runtuh in Malaysia.
The two seasons released thus far dealt with the young twins' ordeal with Ramadan, the most venerated lunar month inIslam in which the faithful oblige themselves to abstain from consuming any food and beverage from dawn till dusk in every day of this period. Opah is seen as the boys' main source of significant religious and traditional wisdom. Despite the hunger from fasting, Upin and Ipin still maintain their mischievous tendencies which tends to annoy Ros.
In season one, not only they were induced by their elder sister and grandmother in honouring the holy month, yet their friends, including some non-Malays, helped to keep their religious obligation in check. In season two, Upin and Ipin are already in kindergarten, having known some new friends. This time, they are more prepared and delighted to usher Ramadan.
In February 2009, the premise was extended to the big screen under the name "Geng: Pengembaraan Bermula" ("Gang: The Adventure Begins" with the word "gang" often colloquially used in Malaysia to represent a group of friends or people).
