Indonesian filmmaker Ifa Isfansyah tells his stories in strong and bold
visuals. Combined with one of Indonesia’s most powerful novels, the
result is set to be a dramatic tale of love amidst political turmoil and
destitution. The love between the main protagonists is under threat
from a clash of tradition and modernism that plays itself out in the small
rural village of Paruk, where prostitution by a ronggeng dancer is
culturally accepted and even treasured, but despised by her young lover.
Isfansyah will push the limits of these powerful themes, and explore
with his unique sensitivity the complexity of the characters, place, and
Indonesia’s tumultuous times.
