Sari works in a beauty salon and likes buying pirated DVDs. But if there’s one thing that bugs her, it’s poorly translated subtitles. One day, she decides to complain to the seller, who in turn introduces her to Alek, a Jakarta subtitler. The two youngsters immediately fall in love and create a world of their own, separated from the noisy city right at the peak of a turbulent presidential campaign. But all this changes when Sari, during an unplanned visit to a prison, snatches up a DVD, unaware that it contains a highly sensitive recording of one of the presidential candidates. By the time Sari and Alek realize, it’s too late. And in a country where corrupt government officials and lawmakers always prevail, people like Sari and Alek only have little to no hope of survival. “I want to record these times of hardship for us to remember and reflect. […] I decided to present [this chaos] through the eyes of two very ordinary people to get an honest perspective about what’s going on. This is my love letter to my country.” (Joko Anwar)
