This is undoubtedly Wregas’ most intimate and innovative work; it's a genuine masterpiece. The movie completely blew me away – in all the right ways. I walked in with pretty high hopes, and still felt totally fulfilled afterward. When I initially read the summary, I honestly couldn’t guess where the story was going, but it immediately grabbed my attention and got me really excited. It quickly became a film I was eagerly awaiting. I'm still trying to process just how inventive the movie is in constructing its world. Wregas truly infuses this film with heart by combining so many bizarre elements—and that’s incredible. The story draws from Wregas’ experiences with his younger sibling, along with something deeply personal from his own life, and he communicates all of that so effectively that I could really feel it. At its center, the film examines how ambition and obsession can cause us to overlook what's most important—essentially clouding our judgment, fueling our egos, and making us more self-centered. The character Bayu represents someone who keeps pushing forward until he’s blinded by his own goals. And that very fact demonstrates that he’s going through a period where he doesn’t fully grasp what's happening yet. I can also say this film resonated with me personally, because I’ve been in a similar situation before. There was something I loved that gradually transformed into more than just affection. I wanted to attain it, to achieve it—I dreamed about it so intensely that I ended up forgetting everything else: my family, my friends, my surroundings. It felt like I had shut out my eyes and heart, as if that single thing was all that mattered. The film really brought back memories of that time in my life. And from that experience, I realized that no one is perfect as they grow—no one understands everything immediately. Sometimes we stumble not because we’re incapable, but simply because we haven't fully understood things yet. Because ultimately, it’s the journey itself that shapes us—making us more understanding and teaching us to accept that things don’t always happen instantly. Everyone stumbles eventually. But there’s also always a chance to rise again from those depths. “Film is a reflection of life. If you forget about life, you lose what film is truly about. Because at its core, film captures moments of life—how could you ignore what those moments contain?”
