Eight people living in urban Indonesia embark on absurd journeys in order to fit into society. There’s a tale of a father who is desperate to win a green card lottery, another about a young girl who believes that firecrackers expel ghosts, and six other stories of locals hoping for a better life.

Well-known for his avant-garde shorts, experimental filmmaker Edwin expands his scope with this eccentric debut: a darkly comic chronicle of a Chinese-Indonesian woman adrift in her own country. An outlandish mosaic of oft-kilter vignettes and riotous gags, guided by an earnest yearning to belong.
