Synopsis
ENGLISH
Part I of The Family Trilogy by Leonard RetelHelmrich. These award winning documentaries are absolutely fascinating, wonderfully observant and intimate. Through the eyes of grandmother Rumidjah, a poor old Christian woman living in the slums of Jakarta, we see the economical changing society of Indonesia and the influence of globalization reflected in the life of her juvenile granddaughter Tari and her sons Bakti and Dwi. Director and DOP Leonard Retel Helmrich follows this family in a unique way with his breathtaking Single Shot Cinema-technique. Without interviews and voice-overs, Leonard will bring you closer to Indonesia than you will ever get.
By far the best documentary film about the Indonesian underclass and essential viewing not only because it is truly enlightening for both Indonesians and long-time foreign expats alike but for its truthful, touching and very carefully put together story. The whole nation should see it.
BAHASA INDONESIA
