Introduction

A tender, melancholy night is seen through the eyes of 3 women struggling to find themselves in the concrete jungle of Jakarta. A tribute to big cities where cultures clash & identities are meshed.

Synopsis

A tender, melancholy night is experienced through the eyes of three women as they struggle to find themselves in the ever-changing concrete jungle of Jakarta. Gia returns home to Jakarta after years of living abroad and realizes that the place she considers home – conservative Jakarta – is no place for a lesbian. Indri the gym towel-girl wants to climb up the social ladder by losing her virginity to a prince charming she met on a chat room. Mrs. Surya lost her identity when she found out her late husband, whom she had devoted her life to, had another woman.

◆Director's Message
This film is a tribute not just to Jakarta but to any big city where cultures clash and identities are meshed. It is for urban souls who have experienced loneliness, melancholia and uncertainty. Hopefully we can survive the city without losing much of our soul. And hopefully the city can keep on thriving, keep on living with poise, maturity, and grace.
