01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Set in 1981, Rini lives in the outskirts of Jakarta in a decaying house with her mother, Mawarni Suwono; her wheelchair-bound grandmother, Rahma Saidah; her father, and her three younger brothers–Tony, Bondi, and Ian, who is mute. The family live amid financial hardship as her mother Mawarni is ill and bed-ridden while royalties from her former singing career have long dried up. Her mother uses a bell to signal for assistance as she is unable to yell or walk. As her health worsens, Tony sells his motorcycle and other belongings to help the family.
