Synopsis

An old diary containing dark secrets: for Galih, this book is a defense against the prejudice of his parents. For Naya, this book is good material for his latest novel after three years of dry ideas. Thus begins a collaboration between two different worlds.

Our take

In this directorial debut from seasoned screenwriter Bene Dion Raja Gukguk, writer’s block is the source of both comedy and terror. Adroitly balancing wild tonal shifts with heartfelt reflections on lost-and-found connections, the film is one of the biggest hits at the Indonesian box office in 2019.
