Ten Years Challenge (2024) Movie Script
Hello, Ma'am.
Hello, Chef.
- Ms. Atya, where are you?
- I'm right at the front.
I'm in the building.
- Hey, sorry.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- Good, thanks. And you?
- The proposal is good?
- Don't worry.
A MOVIE BY
ADIS KAYL YURAHMAH
We've got a customer.
- Good.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Table 7 ready.
- Yes.
Ridwan!
- Hey, Diga.
- So, here's the thing...
Our new supplier needs our list of order.
They don't understand
how come we haven't contacted them.
We've talked about that.
They are way more expensive
and I think it's not cost-effective.
And one more thing, Sir. A new supplier
means a change of price list.
- It's definitely gonna affect COGS.
- Okay.
Yes, and I know our current supplier,
so I know very well...
how good their quality control is.
- Okay.
- Yes.
Holding on to something
because of its familiarity
is just as good as having no new vision.
Oh, yeah.
I have a meeting
with the new branch contractor.
With Angel. And I'm late.
I'll keep in touch.
Text me.
Don't forget to text me.
Yet today is our 12-year anniversary.
- Chef.
- Yes.
I need the latest ration calculation
to know when the supplier
needs to deliver their goods.
- Yes, I'm on it.
- Okay.
- Excuse me.
- Sure.
Hello, Mom.
Atya.
Are you already home from work?
Not yet.
What is it, Mom?
Nothing.
You're lying. You're crying, aren't you?
Mom, what's wrong? Tell me.
Your dad, Atya.
He remarried.
Was that your Mom who called you?
You know, she's having a breakdown.
I just don't get it.
Is it so hard to get over a man
like my dad?
Speak for yourself.
You've been dating the same guy
for 12 years.
You spent high school
and college together
and now you work together.
How come I haven't seen the ring
on your finger?
Yet today is our anniversary.
Seriously?
So, what's your plan for tonight?
No idea.
He hasn't even texted me.
Do you think he forgot about it?
Or...
he's pretending to forget.
Or maybe...
he's planning a surprise proposal!
What? No! No way.
Atya, you've got to believe me.
It's a very common strategy.
You're still here?
Where have you been?
I told you I had a meeting.
I thought you went home.
I'm just gonna get my laptop.
- Have you had dinner?
- I have, at the meeting.
How about dinner tomorrow?
Do you really forget
what day it is today?
- It's our 12-year anniversary, Diga.
- Oh my God.
Atya, I'm really sorry.
I totally forgot about it.
I've been so busy with our new branch,
this and that.
Please, forgive me.
So, you did forget.
For a minute...
I actually have been thinking.
I feel...
that you're different.
I thought it was because Patronus
is at its peak...
or because we're about to open
a new branch.
But I guess I was wrong.
There's something else, right?
Atya, we need to talk.
I feel...
that our relationship is stuck.
I feel like you and I...
we've never really connected.
Stop joking.
It's not funny.
Atya, I'm being serious.
Diga.
It's been 12 years.
How could we just get rid of those years?
Twelve years.
This is no time for a joke.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
I never thought about saying this to you.
But it's over.
I'm sorry.
Diga, it's not funny.
Diga, I love you so much.
Don't do this. I don't like it.
I think...
we're never meant to be together.
I'm sorry.
Don't think this is easy for me.
I wish you all the best.
Goodbye.
Diga.
Diga, enough with the act.
Diga.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Relax.
And exhale.
Okay.
That's all for today.
Thank you, everyone.
Bye.
Hello, Chi.
Hi. So, is the interview today?
Yup. I'm at the parking lot.
Okay. Good luck on the interview
and your new life.
- Thank you. Wish me luck.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Please, have a seat.
- Agastya Renandi, Ma'am.
- Thank you, Ndi.
Good morning, Ma'am.
Sorry, I dropped my pen.
Could you get it for me?
- I'm sorry.
- Sure.
Does it ring a bell?
Atya?
Agastya Renandi.
An alumna of Bina Nasional High School.
Am I right?
That's right.
Sorry, you are?
I'm Renata.
I was your junior in high school.
You and your gang had a good time
bullying me everyday.
Yeah.
Rena.
Oh, sorry, I was out of focus.
- How are you?
- So, you do remember?
I guess you do.
Isn't it funny? What are the odds
of us meeting here? I mean...
this situation is unbelievable.
As long as I can remember...
you and your gang...
always treated me like your slave.
I was body shamed,
I was bullied. That was my daily life.
Did you have fun
destroying other people's life?
Let me just get straight to the point.
The vacancy we have right now
is a special program
for the victims of bullying.
Now that they're all grown up,
they have become successful.
Well...
You were...
the bully.
So?
Are you still interested in this job?
You see, if I were you...
I'd feel so embarrassed.
Tya.
Mom.
I'm happy that you're home.
You can stay here
for as long as you want.
I know you're going through a lot.
Don't go through it alone.
Being alone really messes up my mind.
I'd start to have these crazy thoughts.
I even thought...
that this was all my fault.
You're fated this way...
because you're my daughter.
Mom, what does fate has anything to do
with this? No way.
It's not about fate.
I think this is just...
the dark phase of my life.
It may be a sign...
for me to find my own happiness.
A high school reunion?
I don't know if I wanna go or not.
I think...
it will be a good thing.
It'll be nice to have a change.
You'll get to meet old friends.
It's better than being sad like this.
Okay?
I'm not sure.
Don't forget your dinner.
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
- Hello, Chi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Do you get the reunion invitation?
Of course, I do. We should go.
It'll be fun meeting old friends.
I'm not sure I'm gonna go.
What if I meet Diga there?
Atya.
There's a small possibility
that he'd come.
Besides...
isn't he busy
with the opening of his new branch?
Hey, I know you're tired
looking for a job.
But let's put a pause on that.
Just attend the reunion.
I'll be there, too.
We're just gonna have fun there. Okay?
Forget about Diga.
We'll see about that.
I'll let you know.
Okay.
- Alright then. Bye.
- Bye.
- It's been so long.
- That's right.
- Ten years.
- It's like ages.
There's gotta be some stories,
some funny stories.
Whether it is about family or work.
There are a lot, indeed.
But the most important thing is
we should live a happy life.
Just so you know,
I've been planning this reunion
for a long time
so that I can meet you all.
But there was a problem
in setting the schedule
because, you know,
coal export has been busy lately
and I have to go to Kalimantan
and supervise everything myself.
Wow, you're in a coal business.
I guess now you can say goodbye
to installments and buy anything in cash.
Thank God, I've said goodbye
to credit cards.
It's so bothersome.
Well, to earn a passive income,
I established a skincare business.
Local product is
as good as imported ones.
You should try them.
Support local products.
- You're good at advertising them.
- Sure, I'll give it a try.
Atya. Hi.
Why are you just standing here?
Hey. Gosh, I'm sorry.
- Hi, guys!
- Hi!
- I miss you so much. Geez.
- My eyelashes.
- It's all good.
- My eyelashes.
- Okay.
- How's your foreign husband?
We just got back from the airport.
We stayed in Italy for too long,
I miss my hometown.
Remember when I was about
to meet you there?
I happened to have a flight there
and I got a two-day off.
But I think you were here at that time.
Super busy.
- Yeah, the timing was bad.
- Because you were so busy.
But it's okay. What's important is that
now we're all here, the complete squad.
- Yes. That's right.
- We have to take pictures later.
- Why later? Let's do it now.
- Now.
- Why not?
- Okay.
Come on.
Smile.
Oh my God. So cute.
Look at your eyelashes. So pretty.
IN MEMORY OF
HARUMI, MOTHER OF HIROAKI SASTRAATMADJA
THE WINNER OF PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
Are you okay?
Yeah.
So, Hiro's mom is dead.
I heard she died
because of drug overdosed.
And my mom said that Hiro's mom...
was very depressed.
Where is Hiro?
Where is he? Is he here?
Is he here? Where is he?
I'm not sure he'll be here.
You know him.
He was such a loner.
Sure he wants to be here?
By the way, my cousin
often goes to Patronus.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, and...
she told me...
that you broke up with Diga.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Wait.
Seriously?
How come?
Well, it's been 12 years. Maybe it was
too long that we no longer clicked.
Chin up.
Don't let your crown fall.
- Edith, let's take pictures there. Come.
- Okay.
Diga. How are you?
It's been so long. How are you?
I'm good. I'm been busy with Patronus.
I'm going to open a new branch
in Senopati. Yeah.
- I need to go to the toilet, Chi.
- Okay.
- I'll go there.
- Yeah. I'll catch you up.
Atya, why are you so nervous?
Just remember,
Diga was so mean to you, okay?
Don't lose your cool.
Okay.
- How's life?
- Good. How's yours?
- I've been busy. I'm opening a new cafe.
- Nice.
- Yeah. Come and visit us.
- I will.
Angel.
- Hi, Babe. Sorry I'm late.
- Hello.
It's okay. Hey, guys,
this is my girlfriend, Angel.
- Hi, I'm...
- So is it because
we're no longer fit for each other...
or is it because you've met someone else?
How could you?
Atya, let's talk about this.
Don't you know that Diga and I
have been together for 12 years?
Atya, stop.
This has nothing to do with Angel.
But...
it's because I don't love you anymore.
Look, in a relationship...
there should be two strong people.
Not one weak and one strong.
That's not love, but...
it's energy consuming.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I feel that our relationship is stuck.
I feel like you and I
have never been connected.
This has nothing to do with Angel.
But...
it's because I don't love you anymore.
SACHI
CALLING
That's why you shouldn't use cell phones
while driving.
Do you have trouble breathing?
This place is no fun. Come with me.
Who are you?
What is this place?
Am I dead?
Do you wanna die?
If you are given
another chance to live...
will you be able to live happily?
I'm gonna give you a chance.
What do you mean?
I'm gonna give you
a second chance in life.
Choose one.
These cards represent
one to ten years before today.
Take your pick.
This is to fix the 27 years of your life
that you've wasted.
Come on, Atya.
There's no game here,
there's no surprise.
Ten years challenge!
It means you're gonna go back
to ten years ago.
The time when you made
so many wrong decisions.
Hurry take this chance,
and correct your mistakes.
What if I fail?
Remember, Atya.
Your happiness does not depend on others.
You need to find out
what makes your life meaningful.
But if you fail...
Bye!
What the...?
What are you up to?
Why do all these cards
say the same thing?
Just a little surprise.
Atya, remember.
You mustn't repeat the same mistake.
Hey, come back!
Atya, you haven't get dressed?
You're gonna be late.
Hurry. Take a bath.
Mom.
Tya, what's wrong?
- Mom.
- Go get ready.
Mom.
- Mom, am I in high school?
- What do you mean?
Of course you are.
Are you not feeling well?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Alright, then. I may be late tonight.
I need to reach my insurance sales target.
I hope I'll get the bonus.
So that my daughter
can go to college. Okay?
One more thing.
I'm sorry, honey,
we haven't got the time to discuss
your choice of major in college.
- Okay, then. Go get ready. Okay?
- Okay.
Or you'll be late for school.
I have to go now.
- Don't forget to lock the door.
- Okay.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BOGOR CITY
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Hi.
Why are you staring at me like that?
- Nothing.
- Okay, then.
I have a college application form
for Management Department.
We're going to college together, right?
I think I need some time
to think about it.
So suddenly?
That's okay. Just keep the form.
I'm going to submit mine today.
I have a student council meeting
before classes start. Bye.
- Hey, why is it all tangled?
- Which one is better?
- Hello, Raline?
- Why is there pink color in it?
- Why is there pink color here?
- I'm asking you a question.
- I'm asking you which one is better?
- Pink.
Pink? Okay, fine.
Pink. Pink and what?
Who made it all tangled?
- Where did this pink color come from?
- Which is more suitable?
Why is there pink color here?
Who put it here?
- I don't know, Raline.
- Atya!
Hi.
We've been waiting for you.
Come. Take a seat. Come on.
Hello. Earth to Atya?
Take a seat.
Yeah.
This is so good.
By the way...
I think...
it'd be great if we choose vintage
as our theme for next month's edition.
You're right. I'm totally with you,
because it's so happening right now.
- What do you say?
- Yup.
Hang on a second.
In my opinion...
we should find other alternatives
to attract more followers.
Look.
Hold on.
Take a look.
Yesterday our junior made this dress.
Is it cute? It is, don't you think?
Sachi, you're joking.
She called this cute?
So last year!
Right?
Look.
It is.
Yeah.
See, so last year!
But we need to be objective here.
If you wanna know
what the target market is,
then you have to do a market research.
What do you mean?
I think I was pretty clear.
What I'm saying is we can do a research.
What kind of outfit
teenagers nowadays like.
I mean, teenagers like us.
- How?
- It's easy.
For example...
we can go to the mall.
We observe the types of outfit in stores
that suit our market.
And because now we're still
in high school,
we have to find capital
or be very cost-effective.
Well, Chi, you know,
when I was in Patronus.
- Market research and cost-effectivity...
- Yeah.
You're saying
we're going to the mall, right?
You've been saying all these nonsense
just to ask us to go to the mall?
- Just straight to the point. Come on.
- Your backpack.
Get the backpack.
Oh yeah. The backpack.
SINCE DAD LEFT,
I HAVE NO ONE TO GO PHOTO HUNTING,
SEE MOVIES, AND DRAW WITH.
Diga said...
it's useless to study photography...
because everybody can do it.
I think he's right.
Maybe it's time for me to find something
that's gonna be very useful
for my future.
Do you have your analog cameras with you?
- Yes, Sir.
- Yes.
What's the difference
between analog and digital?
I'm sure you know. With a digital camera
you get to see the result instantly.
With an analog camera
you need to process the film
in a photo lab.
- It's all...
- Good evening, Sir.
- Yes?
- I'm Atya, from class XII Social 3.
Is there anything I can do for you, Atya?
I'd like to join Multimedia Club. May I?
- You want to join us?
- Yes.
I'm sorry. But you should've done it
at the beginning of the semester.
But, Sir, I promise to work really hard.
I've always wanted to learn more
about photography.
May I, Sir?
Let her join us, Sir.
It won't be long until she gets bored.
Besides...
we don't have many members here.
Maybe the more the merrier.
- But...
- Thank you, Sir.
Now, I have an assignment for you.
I want you to hunt some pictures.
I'll do the curation process.
Alright, you can start today.
Hiro.
Hi.
Can I join you?
Because I have no camera at all.
Please?
Thank you, Hiro!
I'll borrow your camera once you're done.
Thank you.
The trick you used to Mr. Pandu
doesn't work on me.
But I heard you said...
that it wouldn't be long
until I got bored.
So I guess you won't mind
if I borrow you camera for a while.
It's been a while
since I last learnt about photography.
I think it was when I was in junior high.
Fine.
Let's go.
Have you ever used an analog camera?
I used a digital camera.
A digital camera makes the photographer
careless in making a decision,
because if there's a mistake, he only
needs to delete it and takes another.
An analog camera is different.
When using an analog camera,
you have to be careful
in decision making,
because if there's a mistake,
you can't redo it...
and it'll be a waste of film
to take another picture.
Just like life.
You can't redo it.
You have to be careful.
Here, try it.
Yes.
You pull this, and this is the shutter.
- This is the "shutter".
- Aim it.
- Like that?
- Yeah, like that.
Try with that object.
Just be confident.
Easy, right?
"Golden hour" is in a few minutes.
The sunlight falls at a certain angle
and it will create
a beautiful natural light.
Why do you like photography?
Through photography
we can capture and relay a story
in a much better way.
Because every object here, for example,
has its own story.
And our job as a photographer
is to tell its story.
Thank you for teaching me
basic knowledge about photography.
Why are you interested in photography?
Actually, it's not an impulsive decision.
So, I've loved photography
since I was in junior high.
But I was stupid enough...
to listen to this one person who said
that this passion was not for me.
So, I forget everything about it.
But now...
I'm not gonna do the same mistake
like I did.
You sounded so much mature just now.
But I have to admit...
you're brave...
for choosing your own passion.
Yes!
- Are you done yet?
- Yes.
Nice.
What do we do next?
- What?
- The result.
Now we need to process the film...
- Reog Ponorogo!
- We can only process it...
- Like this. Geez.
- Raline.
- Stop it!
- Hey, Atya.
This is wrong.
Tya, you're the who told us last week
that Rena got her hair cut at a petshop
instead of a salon.
- That's right.
- Stop it. Rena.
I'm sorry. I promise this is the last.
If Raline messes with you again,
you have to tell me.
I promise
we'll never bother you again. Okay?
Tya, since when you became an angel?
You used to be the one
who laughed the loudest.
Listen to yourself.
What we're doing is wrong!
I'm sure you all know it, too.
What goes around comes around.
Trust me!
Weird. Come here, Rena.
Let's just go. Come on.
- Rena.
- Let's go.
Rena.
One day, you have to be able
to stand up for yourself. Okay?
You can't let Raline do this to you.
I apologize on their behalf.
- Thank you so much, Atya.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BOGOR CITY
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Atya.
- Yes?
- Are you busy after school?
Let's hang out.
I can't, Diga.
- Busy with your fashion club?
- No, I have another thing.
- What thing?
- Multimedia Club.
I started learning
about photography again.
Out of the blue?
So, is it confirmed we won't take
management major together?
Is this just a hobby
or are you taking it seriously?
I'm taking it seriously.
I've made up my mind.
Hiro, is this okay?
I'm afraid it's too bright.
This should be fine.
Let me try.
Besides, analog camera can't take
an object that's too far.
True that.
I'm gonna take a picture of the hallway.
Atya.
After this, we're gonna go
to the darkroom at my house.
Darkroom?
Is it just us?
- Hiro, I don't like...
- Darkroom to process the film.
We have to print these pictures today.
The school's darkroom is fully-booked
this week.
That's why I'm taking you to the darkroom
- at my house...
- Okay, fine, Hiro.
No need to talk so loud.
What if the others heard that?
Okay.
Here.
- Let's go.
- Alright.
Where are you taking my girlfriend?
Is this your thing?
The photography club?
I'm going to Hiro's house.
We're going to process and print
the pictures in this camera.
I don't like it...
when you're with a boy I don't know.
Hiro.
Now you know me.
- Where do you live?
- Diga, have some manners.
Gotta go. Let's go.
Are these yours?
No.
They are my mom's.
These are pictures taken by my mom
and these are all her cameras.
Very nice.
Let's go.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
This is what you call developer.
And this...
is a developer tank.
Pour this liquid in,
and we can get the photos
by dipping the film here,
into this liquid,
but don't get it onto your hands.
See, it's coming.
It's awesome.
Didn't you take pictures of the sunshine?
Why did you take a picture of my back?
I thought it was a basketball pole.
- Where's the film roll?
- I put it there.
Give me a minute.
Mom!
What's happening, Mom?
I can't stay here anymore.
Your dad doesn't keep his words.
Ever since we lived here,
our life has been a mess.
I can't work. I don't know anyone here.
This morning your dad sold my camera
to make ends meet!
Mom.
Calm down.
My life has no meaning, Hiro.
There's no use in living.
Mom, listen to me.
Everything is gonna be okay.
We will be okay.
Mom.
Mom.
Now, go have some rest.
I'll take you to your room.
Mom.
Is your mom okay?
Are you okay?
But I was amazed.
I saw how you calmed your mom down.
You did well.
Depression.
Her depression only gets worse...
after my dad's business in Japan
went bankrupt.
That's why we moved to Indonesia.
Because the cost of living in Japan
is too expensive for Dad.
On the other hand, Mom...
can't stand it here.
Do you know?
Mental illness is hereditary.
My mom has it since she was a child.
My grandma has it, too.
You said I did well.
The truth is I'm scared.
- I'm scared I'll end up like my mom.
- Hiro.
Don't worry.
You won't end up like your mom.
If you need anything...
someone to talk to...
I'm all ears.
Now, this is a good angle
with an aesthetic lighting.
Good job, Atya.
Thank you for helping me yesterday.
For Hiro's photos...
As awesome as usual.
So, the special event I told you about
is the Children of the Nation
Art Exhibition
that's held by the Ministry of Culture.
For this class,
whoever wants to participate
can submit an idea.
If your proposal is accepted,
you can take part in that exhibition.
Me, Sir.
This time I'm gonna work with Atya.
- I'm gonna work with Aya, Sir.
- Nice.
I'm counting on all of you.
And you, Atya,
keep working on your skill.
Honestly, Hiro.
I don't have the confidence to take part
in this project.
Well, you're a pro. But, me?
Didn't you say you wanted
to pursue your passion?
Now you have the chance,
don't let that self doubt get to you.
But, we're different. I'm just a newbie.
A lot of people have
much better skill than I do.
I don't wanna be the one
who causes our loss.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you won't cause our loss.
- I wanna show you something.
- What?
Later, after school.
Atya.
Hi.
Let's go to my house. We're gonna
prepare next week's photo shoot.
Yeah, I've moved on
from yesterday's incident.
Besides, we need our main model
for the photo shoot.
I'm sorry, guys.
I have to quit fashion club.
I need to focus
on my photography project.
Tya, are you being serious?
Why so sudden?
Is it Hiro?
Yeah, what's wrong?
Suit yourself!
Let's go, Chi.
Sachi, come on!
- Gotta go. Bye.
- Bye.
"Humans of New York."
Brandon Stanton "Humans of New York"?
You know him?
Of course.
I like him so much.
When I was in junior high,
I follow all of his works.
You like him, too?
He's my role model.
Brandon Stanton told
stories of the people
in Central Park of New York
through photos and this blog.
This blog was adapted into a book
and it became a best-seller.
I want a project like this.
Telling stories of people
through the honest series of photographs.
I have an idea.
What if we raise the issue
of educational inequality in Indonesia
through the stories of children
with different social
and economy background?
So, we're gonna display your photos
and the interview with those kids.
We'll make installation.
So, the visitors
can enjoy our work
and feel closer to the children.
But I need the data of those kids soon.
- Is it possible?
- Atya.
That has been my concern.
Social gap.
Okay. It's a deal, then.
Brandon Stanton
is gonna be our main reference.
- Deal.
- Deal.
Okay.
You know what?
Your house...
is just like mine.
So quiet.
Well, it's just me and my mom.
My dad left us when I was a kid.
So, this is it.
Yeah.
I know how it feels.
Feeling alone at home.
I feel it, too.
Dad is busy at work...
My mom is home,
but I rarely talk to my mom.
I'd rather get busy with projects
here and there...
a freelance photographer.
It may be hard to start...
but...
isn't it the driving force...
that keeps us strong until now?
It forces us to learn
to stand on our own two feet...
instead of counting on others.
The way I see it...
the first person
who helps us to rise from adversity...
is ourselves.
Not your parents, not your friends,
not even your boyfriend.
Just like here and now.
We've been so focused on the project...
we haven't had dinner.
You may be fine without dinner.
- But I can't.
- Okay, so you want me to order some food?
You're hungry, aren't you?
- I've been hungry since an hour ago.
- Okay, but you beat around the bush.
- Okay.
- Maybe you can be a bit more sensitive.
These are the color palette.
I think warm colors would be great.
Okay, and I want the cover to be, like...
- Okay. Yes.
- big and long
so that when people see...
Let me see.
And over here there should be...
a drawing of a camera.
I can't draw a camera.
It's upside down.
But it's something like this,
only better.
I'M SO EXCITED WITH OUR PROJECT.
IT'S SOMETHING NEW FOR ME.
KEEP IT UP!
I'M SURE THE RESULT IS GONNA BE GREABECAUSE YOUR IDEA WAS GREAT, ATYA.
THANKS, HIRO. SO EXCITED.
THANKS, HIRO. SO EXCITED.

- What flavor is that?
- Original flavor.
- What about yours?
- Here.
- Just one.
- Where's my order?
- Why don't you go and ask?
- No, I ordered...
- What do you wanna eat?
- Is it okay if I start first?
I want something spicy.
Rena.
- Ren. Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- Are you really okay?
- I'm okay.
- Raline!
- Is it dirty?
- You're way out of line.
- Are your clothes dirty?
- Thanks, Atya.
- What are you talking about?
What did I do?
I clearly didn't do anything.
It was totally her fault.
She has four eyes,
but she can't use any of them properly.
You bully her one more time,
I'll go and tell the teachers.
What's gonna happen?
- So, we...
- Throw this.
Throw this to her. Hurry.
I'm okay.
- Oh my God.
- Are you okay?
I'm good.
- Raline.
- It's all wet.
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- Let's just go back to the classroom.
- Let's take her to her class.
My uniform is all wet.
Atya.
Let's go see a movie after school.
It's been a while.
I tell you what.
You pick the movie. What do you say?
I can't, Diga.
I have so many things to do.
Atya, what did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
I feel that you've changed.
If I did make a mistake, I'm sorry.
I know we have our differences.
But I still love you.
If you want to...
I'll change for you.
And...
you have to know...
I like the new you better.
The brave Atya who knows what she wants.
I'm proud of you.
Atya.
What's up, Hiro?
- Our exhibition proposal was approved.
- Seriously?
- Hiro!
- Wait.
What proposal?
Hiro and I are gonna take part
in an art exhibition.
With him?
Yeah, we're a team.
When?
On the tenth, in two months.
On the tenth?
On our anniversary?
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm proud of the new Atya.
But I can't believe...
you'll forget about our anniversary.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk about the project tomorrow.
- On the tenth.
- On the tenth?
On our anniversary?
Do you really forget
what day it is today?
- It's our 12-year anniversary, Diga.
- Oh my God.
It's 12 years.
How could we just get rid of those years?
But I love you so much.
You have to know...
I like the new you better.
The brave Atya who knows what she wants.
- Excuse me, Sir.
- Yes?
Do you know where Mr. Mursyid's house is?
Just follow this road.
Keep going down and you'll find it.
It's the only house there.
Mr. Mursyid's house
is at the foot of this hill.
Please. Come in.
Andrew's room is on the third floor.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- I'm Atya.
- Andrew.
- Can I do an interview with you?
- Okay.
Hello.
- Andrew.
- Hiro.
Thank you, Ma'am.
I didn't go to school.
Neither does my son.
But there's a college student
who teaches him read and write.
Education is our priority.
My wife and I realize...
that we...
don't have much time for Andrew.
That's why we maximize his development...
through education.
Mr. Mursyid, how do you picture Arik...
when he's all grown up?
A scavenger, like me.
I used to take a robotic class,
but I don't think that's my passion.
A private tutor helps me study.
I have a piano lesson
and a badminton class.
Arik, what's your dream?
I dreamt...
the junk next to our house...
piles up so high.
And then it fell onto our house.
I got rolled down...
I couldn't breath.
I mean, what do you wanna be
when you grow up?
What do you call it? Engineer.
I think that's what they call it.
One thing for sure, I'm very interested
in environmetal issues.
Our future is in big trouble
due to global warming.
So, my dream is to create
a sustainable environment.
I want to create an innovation
related to renewable energy...
or maybe I can be
one of the policymakers.
I know it's a big dream,
but Daddy said
there's no dream that we can't reach
as long as we work hard.
- Hello, Ma'am.
- Welcome.
- Yes. Sir.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Hello, Ma'am.
- Please.
We'd like to ask your permission
to do an interview.
- Yeah, sure. Please.
- Yeah, it's okay.
Hello, what's your name
and where do you go to school?
I go to Panagan State Elementary School.
What do you wanna be?
I don't want to.
I wanna be a police officer.
Wow, a police officer.
But the gap between Andrew and Arik
are so obvious.
Actually, Arik can do that, too.
I'm amazed by a kid as young as Andrew
who has a great and mature vision.
- We can take that issue to our exhibition.
- Seriously?
Hiro.
- It tickles.
- Here.
Here, it'll open your eyes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
Arik.
What's that?
This is so good.
Now I know...
you wanna be an engineer
to build a windmill, don't you?
- That's right.
- You're such a smart boy.
Do you know?
In a country called Netherlands
there are huge and nice windmills.
Here. Let me show you.
Here.
- Like this.
- It's so cool.
I know, right?
One day, you'll make one like this.
Amen.
- Don't forget to eat this.
- Okay.
Atya!
Chi, what are you doing here?
You have to check Raline's posts
right now.
- There.
- What's going on?
A NEW BOYFRIEND?
OR IS IT AN AFFAIR?
A NEW BOYFRIEND?
OR IS IT AN AFFAIR?
I tried calling you,
but you didn't pick up.
I couldn't. I'm busy with this stuff.
Hi.
Diga, please,
don't let Raline's posts provoke you.
- You know very well that Raline...
- It's okay. I'm okay.
I'm sorry
about yesterday.
I was just jealous...
with Hiro.
I don't want to make you
doubt yourself...
about taking part in this exhibition.
Prepare yourself the best you can do.
I know nothing...
about camera or photography.
But...
I'll always be there for you.
Thank you.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, get well soon, okay...
so that we can hunt more pictures
just like how we used to.
Lately...
I've been working on a project
with Atya.
Photo hunting, as well.
Just like you did.
I wanna introduce her to you.
Mom.
When I'm with Atya...
I don't feel alone anymore.
I never felt so comfortable before.
And now I understand
why you love photographs.
We can make the moments
with our beloved ones eternal.
So, we don't have to worry
about losing them.
I don't wanna stay here anymore, Hiro.
Mom.
You'll be alright.
Don't worry.
You have me here, Mom!
You are...
much stronger...
than me.
You are not me.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BOGOR CITY
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
My dad beats me up at home.
I don't want him to know about this.
He'll beat Mom, too.
I don't want him to beat Mom.
I don't want him to beat Mom.
I promise I'll never do that again.
I was just joking, Sir.
Joking, huh?
Are the things that you did to Renata
also a joke?
You bully her...
and upload bad things about Renata.
Where did you get this?
Have teachers been monitoring
students' social media?
Asking that question
shows that you don't know
what you did wrong.
It's not that. I said I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry. I was just...
Move it.
Yeah, like that.
- Shall I cut this?
- Yes.
What are you guys doing?
We're trying to cut this, Sir.
Good.
- Good.
- This one is also good.
Yeah, this is good.
Yes.
Did you invite Diga?
Who did you invite?
Just my dad and my mom.
But I'm not sure they'll come.
I'm sure they'll come.
They'll be proud of this.
Trust me.
Keep it up.
- Keep it up.
- Keep it up.
THE CHILDREN OF THE NATION
ART EXHIBITION
IS AN EXHIBITION THAT ROOTED
FROM A SMALL IDEA
OF HIROAKI SASTRAATMADJA
AND AGASTYA RENANDI.
AGASTYA (ATYA) AND HIROAKI BELIEVE
THAT PHOTOGRAPHY
ACCOMPANIED WITH SUBJECT INSTALATION
THAT THEY VISITED
IS AN HONEST AND PERSONAL WAY
TO GET TO KNOW SOMEONE.
To gallery visitors,
may I have your attention, please?
Hiroaki and Agastya.
With a very original way,
they manage to present information
based on concrete data
about the effect of the gap
in Indonesia's education quality.
This work has shown me...
that youth like them
still have the moral concern
that we're expecting
from the future generation.
And I think this work is brilliant.
Furthermore, I'm going to give Arik
a scholarship
and make sure...
that Arik receives the best education
that he deserves.
Thank you, Sir.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Happy anniversary.
Runner-up Best Photo.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
Do you wanna celebrate it?
Let's have dinner.
You pick the place.
DAD
Diga, there's something
I need to discuss.
Can I go first?
- But this is also important...
- Do you wanna break up with me?
Atya.
Atya, I love you so much.
What did I do wrong?
Diga.
If you say that to the old Atya...
she'd be over the moon.
I'm sorry.
For the dream you're going to reach...
and the dream I'm going to reach.
Take care.
Thank you.
- Gotta go. Bye.
- Okay. Take care.
Sachi, you're still here?
- Have you seen Hiro?
- Hiro?
There he is.
Hiro.
- Hiro, where are you going?
- My mom is hospitalized.
I'm coming with you.
I should've known it's gonna happen.
But I didn't think she'd do this!
- Hiro, slow down.
- I can't slow down.
My mom is rushed to the hospital, Atya.
She tried to end her own life.
Mom...
Hiro, but this is dangerous.
I shouldn't have gone there!
I should've stayed with her at home!
- Mom...
- Hiro, it's dangerous.
Hiro!
Surprise!
Hiro.
Hiro!
Atya.
Where's Hiro, Mom?
Atya.
Atya.
Nurse.
2 WEEKS LATER
Okay, Atya, let's try
from your right leg.
What about the left?
Now let's try your arms.
Okay.
Okay, now let's try your left arm.
Your responses for the last two weeks
have been very good, Atya.
Usually, someone who wakes up
after a week in a coma
doesn't show as good improvement as you.
Thank you, Doctor.
And if everything's good...
Atya can go home.
- Thank you so much, Doctor.
- You're welcome.
Are you happy?
When you were in a coma
at the hospital...
Sachi told me about you and Diga.
Don't worry about it, Dear.
I'm sure...
you'll find the one for you.
Don't let...
anyone ruin your life.
I was scared
when I heard about the accident.
I thought I lost you.
But, yeah, Mom...
we have to learn to let go.
And I learnt...
that we can't change anything in life.
We can only accept it,
let go of it,
and keep on going.
Don't waste our precious time, Mom.
Listen to me.
We'll stay together, Mom.
I promise you.
I'll never let any man
ruin my life.
You shouldn't, either.
Walk away from your sadness.
Okay.
Okay, Mom? Stay happy.
I know how it feels.
Feeling alone at home.
I feel it, too.
MR. PANDU, THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY
BEFORE I LEAVE FOR JAPAN TONIGHT.
MR. PANDU, THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY
BEFORE I LEAVE FOR JAPAN TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE...
Mom.
Yes?
Hi, Hiro.
Do I know you?
I'm Atya...
Agastya Renandi.
We were in the same year,
alumni of Bina Nasional High School.
- Do you remember?
- Yes.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I heard about your mother.
My deepest condolences.
Yes, thank you.
Are you okay?
Yes.
She's in a better place now.
What is it, Atya?
I heard
you're leaving for Japan tomorrow.
Yes, that's right.
I'll stay in Japan for a week
to be with my mom's side of the family.
Atya, why are you here?
As far as I can remember,
we never talked before,
but now you're here.
Brandon Stanton.
I wanna learn photography, Hiro.
Telling stories of people
through the frames of photographs.
Just like what Brandon Stanton said.
I know it's too late to start, but...
I remember you liked taking pictures
in high school.
- And you were into photography.
- Yes.
So, I wanna learn from you,
have a little practice. Can I?
Yeah. Sure you can.
It's not too late.
I'd be happy to teach you.
Okay. Let's talk again
after you come back from Japan.
After I come back from Japan?
But my flight is at midnight.
I still have four to five hours
to teach you.
But, promise me,
after I come home from Japan
you have to present a photo
as a result of today's lesson. Okay?
Okay.
Okay. Let's go.
Are we going to the darkroom?
I'm gonna get the camera.
You can't practice without a camera.
How do you know
about the darkroom? Come in.
Hello, Chef.
- Ms. Atya, where are you?
- I'm right at the front.
I'm in the building.
- Hey, sorry.
- Hi.
- How are you doing?
- Good, thanks. And you?
- The proposal is good?
- Don't worry.
A MOVIE BY
ADIS KAYL YURAHMAH
We've got a customer.
- Good.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Table 7 ready.
- Yes.
Ridwan!
- Hey, Diga.
- So, here's the thing...
Our new supplier needs our list of order.
They don't understand
how come we haven't contacted them.
We've talked about that.
They are way more expensive
and I think it's not cost-effective.
And one more thing, Sir. A new supplier
means a change of price list.
- It's definitely gonna affect COGS.
- Okay.
Yes, and I know our current supplier,
so I know very well...
how good their quality control is.
- Okay.
- Yes.
Holding on to something
because of its familiarity
is just as good as having no new vision.
Oh, yeah.
I have a meeting
with the new branch contractor.
With Angel. And I'm late.
I'll keep in touch.
Text me.
Don't forget to text me.
Yet today is our 12-year anniversary.
- Chef.
- Yes.
I need the latest ration calculation
to know when the supplier
needs to deliver their goods.
- Yes, I'm on it.
- Okay.
- Excuse me.
- Sure.
Hello, Mom.
Atya.
Are you already home from work?
Not yet.
What is it, Mom?
Nothing.
You're lying. You're crying, aren't you?
Mom, what's wrong? Tell me.
Your dad, Atya.
He remarried.
Was that your Mom who called you?
You know, she's having a breakdown.
I just don't get it.
Is it so hard to get over a man
like my dad?
Speak for yourself.
You've been dating the same guy
for 12 years.
You spent high school
and college together
and now you work together.
How come I haven't seen the ring
on your finger?
Yet today is our anniversary.
Seriously?
So, what's your plan for tonight?
No idea.
He hasn't even texted me.
Do you think he forgot about it?
Or...
he's pretending to forget.
Or maybe...
he's planning a surprise proposal!
What? No! No way.
Atya, you've got to believe me.
It's a very common strategy.
You're still here?
Where have you been?
I told you I had a meeting.
I thought you went home.
I'm just gonna get my laptop.
- Have you had dinner?
- I have, at the meeting.
How about dinner tomorrow?
Do you really forget
what day it is today?
- It's our 12-year anniversary, Diga.
- Oh my God.
Atya, I'm really sorry.
I totally forgot about it.
I've been so busy with our new branch,
this and that.
Please, forgive me.
So, you did forget.
For a minute...
I actually have been thinking.
I feel...
that you're different.
I thought it was because Patronus
is at its peak...
or because we're about to open
a new branch.
But I guess I was wrong.
There's something else, right?
Atya, we need to talk.
I feel...
that our relationship is stuck.
I feel like you and I...
we've never really connected.
Stop joking.
It's not funny.
Atya, I'm being serious.
Diga.
It's been 12 years.
How could we just get rid of those years?
Twelve years.
This is no time for a joke.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
I never thought about saying this to you.
But it's over.
I'm sorry.
Diga, it's not funny.
Diga, I love you so much.
Don't do this. I don't like it.
I think...
we're never meant to be together.
I'm sorry.
Don't think this is easy for me.
I wish you all the best.
Goodbye.
Diga.
Diga, enough with the act.
Diga.
THREE MONTHS LATER
Relax.
And exhale.
Okay.
That's all for today.
Thank you, everyone.
Bye.
Hello, Chi.
Hi. So, is the interview today?
Yup. I'm at the parking lot.
Okay. Good luck on the interview
and your new life.
- Thank you. Wish me luck.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Please, have a seat.
- Agastya Renandi, Ma'am.
- Thank you, Ndi.
Good morning, Ma'am.
Sorry, I dropped my pen.
Could you get it for me?
- I'm sorry.
- Sure.
Does it ring a bell?
Atya?
Agastya Renandi.
An alumna of Bina Nasional High School.
Am I right?
That's right.
Sorry, you are?
I'm Renata.
I was your junior in high school.
You and your gang had a good time
bullying me everyday.
Yeah.
Rena.
Oh, sorry, I was out of focus.
- How are you?
- So, you do remember?
I guess you do.
Isn't it funny? What are the odds
of us meeting here? I mean...
this situation is unbelievable.
As long as I can remember...
you and your gang...
always treated me like your slave.
I was body shamed,
I was bullied. That was my daily life.
Did you have fun
destroying other people's life?
Let me just get straight to the point.
The vacancy we have right now
is a special program
for the victims of bullying.
Now that they're all grown up,
they have become successful.
Well...
You were...
the bully.
So?
Are you still interested in this job?
You see, if I were you...
I'd feel so embarrassed.
Tya.
Mom.
I'm happy that you're home.
You can stay here
for as long as you want.
I know you're going through a lot.
Don't go through it alone.
Being alone really messes up my mind.
I'd start to have these crazy thoughts.
I even thought...
that this was all my fault.
You're fated this way...
because you're my daughter.
Mom, what does fate has anything to do
with this? No way.
It's not about fate.
I think this is just...
the dark phase of my life.
It may be a sign...
for me to find my own happiness.
A high school reunion?
I don't know if I wanna go or not.
I think...
it will be a good thing.
It'll be nice to have a change.
You'll get to meet old friends.
It's better than being sad like this.
Okay?
I'm not sure.
Don't forget your dinner.
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL REUNION
- Hello, Chi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Do you get the reunion invitation?
Of course, I do. We should go.
It'll be fun meeting old friends.
I'm not sure I'm gonna go.
What if I meet Diga there?
Atya.
There's a small possibility
that he'd come.
Besides...
isn't he busy
with the opening of his new branch?
Hey, I know you're tired
looking for a job.
But let's put a pause on that.
Just attend the reunion.
I'll be there, too.
We're just gonna have fun there. Okay?
Forget about Diga.
We'll see about that.
I'll let you know.
Okay.
- Alright then. Bye.
- Bye.
- It's been so long.
- That's right.
- Ten years.
- It's like ages.
There's gotta be some stories,
some funny stories.
Whether it is about family or work.
There are a lot, indeed.
But the most important thing is
we should live a happy life.
Just so you know,
I've been planning this reunion
for a long time
so that I can meet you all.
But there was a problem
in setting the schedule
because, you know,
coal export has been busy lately
and I have to go to Kalimantan
and supervise everything myself.
Wow, you're in a coal business.
I guess now you can say goodbye
to installments and buy anything in cash.
Thank God, I've said goodbye
to credit cards.
It's so bothersome.
Well, to earn a passive income,
I established a skincare business.
Local product is
as good as imported ones.
You should try them.
Support local products.
- You're good at advertising them.
- Sure, I'll give it a try.
Atya. Hi.
Why are you just standing here?
Hey. Gosh, I'm sorry.
- Hi, guys!
- Hi!
- I miss you so much. Geez.
- My eyelashes.
- It's all good.
- My eyelashes.
- Okay.
- How's your foreign husband?
We just got back from the airport.
We stayed in Italy for too long,
I miss my hometown.
Remember when I was about
to meet you there?
I happened to have a flight there
and I got a two-day off.
But I think you were here at that time.
Super busy.
- Yeah, the timing was bad.
- Because you were so busy.
But it's okay. What's important is that
now we're all here, the complete squad.
- Yes. That's right.
- We have to take pictures later.
- Why later? Let's do it now.
- Now.
- Why not?
- Okay.
Come on.
Smile.
Oh my God. So cute.
Look at your eyelashes. So pretty.
IN MEMORY OF
HARUMI, MOTHER OF HIROAKI SASTRAATMADJA
THE WINNER OF PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
Are you okay?
Yeah.
So, Hiro's mom is dead.
I heard she died
because of drug overdosed.
And my mom said that Hiro's mom...
was very depressed.
Where is Hiro?
Where is he? Is he here?
Is he here? Where is he?
I'm not sure he'll be here.
You know him.
He was such a loner.
Sure he wants to be here?
By the way, my cousin
often goes to Patronus.
- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, and...
she told me...
that you broke up with Diga.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Wait.
Seriously?
How come?
Well, it's been 12 years. Maybe it was
too long that we no longer clicked.
Chin up.
Don't let your crown fall.
- Edith, let's take pictures there. Come.
- Okay.
Diga. How are you?
It's been so long. How are you?
I'm good. I'm been busy with Patronus.
I'm going to open a new branch
in Senopati. Yeah.
- I need to go to the toilet, Chi.
- Okay.
- I'll go there.
- Yeah. I'll catch you up.
Atya, why are you so nervous?
Just remember,
Diga was so mean to you, okay?
Don't lose your cool.
Okay.
- How's life?
- Good. How's yours?
- I've been busy. I'm opening a new cafe.
- Nice.
- Yeah. Come and visit us.
- I will.
Angel.
- Hi, Babe. Sorry I'm late.
- Hello.
It's okay. Hey, guys,
this is my girlfriend, Angel.
- Hi, I'm...
- So is it because
we're no longer fit for each other...
or is it because you've met someone else?
How could you?
Atya, let's talk about this.
Don't you know that Diga and I
have been together for 12 years?
Atya, stop.
This has nothing to do with Angel.
But...
it's because I don't love you anymore.
Look, in a relationship...
there should be two strong people.
Not one weak and one strong.
That's not love, but...
it's energy consuming.
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
I feel that our relationship is stuck.
I feel like you and I
have never been connected.
This has nothing to do with Angel.
But...
it's because I don't love you anymore.
SACHI
CALLING
That's why you shouldn't use cell phones
while driving.
Do you have trouble breathing?
This place is no fun. Come with me.
Who are you?
What is this place?
Am I dead?
Do you wanna die?
If you are given
another chance to live...
will you be able to live happily?
I'm gonna give you a chance.
What do you mean?
I'm gonna give you
a second chance in life.
Choose one.
These cards represent
one to ten years before today.
Take your pick.
This is to fix the 27 years of your life
that you've wasted.
Come on, Atya.
There's no game here,
there's no surprise.
Ten years challenge!
It means you're gonna go back
to ten years ago.
The time when you made
so many wrong decisions.
Hurry take this chance,
and correct your mistakes.
What if I fail?
Remember, Atya.
Your happiness does not depend on others.
You need to find out
what makes your life meaningful.
But if you fail...
Bye!
What the...?
What are you up to?
Why do all these cards
say the same thing?
Just a little surprise.
Atya, remember.
You mustn't repeat the same mistake.
Hey, come back!
Atya, you haven't get dressed?
You're gonna be late.
Hurry. Take a bath.
Mom.
Tya, what's wrong?
- Mom.
- Go get ready.
Mom.
- Mom, am I in high school?
- What do you mean?
Of course you are.
Are you not feeling well?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Alright, then. I may be late tonight.
I need to reach my insurance sales target.
I hope I'll get the bonus.
So that my daughter
can go to college. Okay?
One more thing.
I'm sorry, honey,
we haven't got the time to discuss
your choice of major in college.
- Okay, then. Go get ready. Okay?
- Okay.
Or you'll be late for school.
I have to go now.
- Don't forget to lock the door.
- Okay.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BOGOR CITY
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Hi.
Why are you staring at me like that?
- Nothing.
- Okay, then.
I have a college application form
for Management Department.
We're going to college together, right?
I think I need some time
to think about it.
So suddenly?
That's okay. Just keep the form.
I'm going to submit mine today.
I have a student council meeting
before classes start. Bye.
- Hey, why is it all tangled?
- Which one is better?
- Hello, Raline?
- Why is there pink color in it?
- Why is there pink color here?
- I'm asking you a question.
- I'm asking you which one is better?
- Pink.
Pink? Okay, fine.
Pink. Pink and what?
Who made it all tangled?
- Where did this pink color come from?
- Which is more suitable?
Why is there pink color here?
Who put it here?
- I don't know, Raline.
- Atya!
Hi.
We've been waiting for you.
Come. Take a seat. Come on.
Hello. Earth to Atya?
Take a seat.
Yeah.
This is so good.
By the way...
I think...
it'd be great if we choose vintage
as our theme for next month's edition.
You're right. I'm totally with you,
because it's so happening right now.
- What do you say?
- Yup.
Hang on a second.
In my opinion...
we should find other alternatives
to attract more followers.
Look.
Hold on.
Take a look.
Yesterday our junior made this dress.
Is it cute? It is, don't you think?
Sachi, you're joking.
She called this cute?
So last year!
Right?
Look.
It is.
Yeah.
See, so last year!
But we need to be objective here.
If you wanna know
what the target market is,
then you have to do a market research.
What do you mean?
I think I was pretty clear.
What I'm saying is we can do a research.
What kind of outfit
teenagers nowadays like.
I mean, teenagers like us.
- How?
- It's easy.
For example...
we can go to the mall.
We observe the types of outfit in stores
that suit our market.
And because now we're still
in high school,
we have to find capital
or be very cost-effective.
Well, Chi, you know,
when I was in Patronus.
- Market research and cost-effectivity...
- Yeah.
You're saying
we're going to the mall, right?
You've been saying all these nonsense
just to ask us to go to the mall?
- Just straight to the point. Come on.
- Your backpack.
Get the backpack.
Oh yeah. The backpack.
SINCE DAD LEFT,
I HAVE NO ONE TO GO PHOTO HUNTING,
SEE MOVIES, AND DRAW WITH.
Diga said...
it's useless to study photography...
because everybody can do it.
I think he's right.
Maybe it's time for me to find something
that's gonna be very useful
for my future.
Do you have your analog cameras with you?
- Yes, Sir.
- Yes.
What's the difference
between analog and digital?
I'm sure you know. With a digital camera
you get to see the result instantly.
With an analog camera
you need to process the film
in a photo lab.
- It's all...
- Good evening, Sir.
- Yes?
- I'm Atya, from class XII Social 3.
Is there anything I can do for you, Atya?
I'd like to join Multimedia Club. May I?
- You want to join us?
- Yes.
I'm sorry. But you should've done it
at the beginning of the semester.
But, Sir, I promise to work really hard.
I've always wanted to learn more
about photography.
May I, Sir?
Let her join us, Sir.
It won't be long until she gets bored.
Besides...
we don't have many members here.
Maybe the more the merrier.
- But...
- Thank you, Sir.
Now, I have an assignment for you.
I want you to hunt some pictures.
I'll do the curation process.
Alright, you can start today.
Hiro.
Hi.
Can I join you?
Because I have no camera at all.
Please?
Thank you, Hiro!
I'll borrow your camera once you're done.
Thank you.
The trick you used to Mr. Pandu
doesn't work on me.
But I heard you said...
that it wouldn't be long
until I got bored.
So I guess you won't mind
if I borrow you camera for a while.
It's been a while
since I last learnt about photography.
I think it was when I was in junior high.
Fine.
Let's go.
Have you ever used an analog camera?
I used a digital camera.
A digital camera makes the photographer
careless in making a decision,
because if there's a mistake, he only
needs to delete it and takes another.
An analog camera is different.
When using an analog camera,
you have to be careful
in decision making,
because if there's a mistake,
you can't redo it...
and it'll be a waste of film
to take another picture.
Just like life.
You can't redo it.
You have to be careful.
Here, try it.
Yes.
You pull this, and this is the shutter.
- This is the "shutter".
- Aim it.
- Like that?
- Yeah, like that.
Try with that object.
Just be confident.
Easy, right?
"Golden hour" is in a few minutes.
The sunlight falls at a certain angle
and it will create
a beautiful natural light.
Why do you like photography?
Through photography
we can capture and relay a story
in a much better way.
Because every object here, for example,
has its own story.
And our job as a photographer
is to tell its story.
Thank you for teaching me
basic knowledge about photography.
Why are you interested in photography?
Actually, it's not an impulsive decision.
So, I've loved photography
since I was in junior high.
But I was stupid enough...
to listen to this one person who said
that this passion was not for me.
So, I forget everything about it.
But now...
I'm not gonna do the same mistake
like I did.
You sounded so much mature just now.
But I have to admit...
you're brave...
for choosing your own passion.
Yes!
- Are you done yet?
- Yes.
Nice.
What do we do next?
- What?
- The result.
Now we need to process the film...
- Reog Ponorogo!
- We can only process it...
- Like this. Geez.
- Raline.
- Stop it!
- Hey, Atya.
This is wrong.
Tya, you're the who told us last week
that Rena got her hair cut at a petshop
instead of a salon.
- That's right.
- Stop it. Rena.
I'm sorry. I promise this is the last.
If Raline messes with you again,
you have to tell me.
I promise
we'll never bother you again. Okay?
Tya, since when you became an angel?
You used to be the one
who laughed the loudest.
Listen to yourself.
What we're doing is wrong!
I'm sure you all know it, too.
What goes around comes around.
Trust me!
Weird. Come here, Rena.
Let's just go. Come on.
- Rena.
- Let's go.
Rena.
One day, you have to be able
to stand up for yourself. Okay?
You can't let Raline do this to you.
I apologize on their behalf.
- Thank you so much, Atya.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BOGOR CITY
BINA NASIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Atya.
- Yes?
- Are you busy after school?
Let's hang out.
I can't, Diga.
- Busy with your fashion club?
- No, I have another thing.
- What thing?
- Multimedia Club.
I started learning
about photography again.
Out of the blue?
So, is it confirmed we won't take
management major together?
Is this just a hobby
or are you taking it seriously?
I'm taking it seriously.
I've made up my mind.
Hiro, is this okay?
I'm afraid it's too bright.
This should be fine.
Let me try.
Besides, analog camera can't take
an object that's too far.
True that.
I'm gonna take a picture of the hallway.
Atya.
After this, we're gonna go
to the darkroom at my house.
Darkroom?
Is it just us?
- Hiro, I don't like...
- Darkroom to process the film.
We have to print these pictures today.
The school's darkroom is fully-booked
this week.
That's why I'm taking you to the darkroom
- at my house...
- Okay, fine, Hiro.
No need to talk so loud.
What if the others heard that?
Okay.
Here.
- Let's go.
- Alright.
Where are you taking my girlfriend?
Is this your thing?
The photography club?
I'm going to Hiro's house.
We're going to process and print
the pictures in this camera.
I don't like it...
when you're with a boy I don't know.
Hiro.
Now you know me.
- Where do you live?
- Diga, have some manners.
Gotta go. Let's go.
Are these yours?
No.
They are my mom's.
These are pictures taken by my mom
and these are all her cameras.
Very nice.
Let's go.
I'm home.
Welcome home.
This is what you call developer.
And this...
is a developer tank.
Pour this liquid in,
and we can get the photos
by dipping the film here,
into this liquid,
but don't get it onto your hands.
See, it's coming.
It's awesome.
Didn't you take pictures of the sunshine?
Why did you take a picture of my back?
I thought it was a basketball pole.
- Where's the film roll?
- I put it there.
Give me a minute.
Mom!
What's happening, Mom?
I can't stay here anymore.
Your dad doesn't keep his words.
Ever since we lived here,
our life has been a mess.
I can't work. I don't know anyone here.
This morning your dad sold my camera
to make ends meet!
Mom.
Calm down.
My life has no meaning, Hiro.
There's no use in living.
Mom, listen to me.
Everything is gonna be okay.
We will be okay.
Mom.
Mom.
Now, go have some rest.
I'll take you to your room.
Mom.
Is your mom okay?
Are you okay?
But I was amazed.
I saw how you calmed your mom down.
You did well.
Depression.
Her depression only gets worse...
after my dad's business in Japan
went bankrupt.
That's why we moved to Indonesia.
Because the cost of living in Japan
is too expensive for Dad.
On the other hand, Mom...
can't stand it here.
Do you know?
Mental illness is hereditary.
My mom has it since she was a child.
My grandma has it, too.
You said I did well.
The truth is I'm scared.
- I'm scared I'll end up like my mom.
- Hiro.
Don't worry.
You won't end up like your mom.
If you need anything...
someone to talk to...
I'm all ears.
Now, this is a good angle
with an aesthetic lighting.
Good job, Atya.
Thank you for helping me yesterday.
For Hiro's photos...
As awesome as usual.
So, the special event I told you about
is the Children of the Nation
Art Exhibition
that's held by the Ministry of Culture.
For this class,
whoever wants to participate
can submit an idea.
If your proposal is accepted,
you can take part in that exhibition.
Me, Sir.
This time I'm gonna work with Atya.
- I'm gonna work with Aya, Sir.
- Nice.
I'm counting on all of you.
And you, Atya,
keep working on your skill.
Honestly, Hiro.
I don't have the confidence to take part
in this project.
Well, you're a pro. But, me?
Didn't you say you wanted
to pursue your passion?
Now you have the chance,
don't let that self doubt get to you.
But, we're different. I'm just a newbie.
A lot of people have
much better skill than I do.
I don't wanna be the one
who causes our loss.
Don't worry.
I'm sure you won't cause our loss.
- I wanna show you something.
- What?
Later, after school.
Atya.
Hi.
Let's go to my house. We're gonna
prepare next week's photo shoot.
Yeah, I've moved on
from yesterday's incident.
Besides, we need our main model
for the photo shoot.
I'm sorry, guys.
I have to quit fashion club.
I need to focus
on my photography project.
Tya, are you being serious?
Why so sudden?
Is it Hiro?
Yeah, what's wrong?
Suit yourself!
Let's go, Chi.
Sachi, come on!
- Gotta go. Bye.
- Bye.
"Humans of New York."
Brandon Stanton "Humans of New York"?
You know him?
Of course.
I like him so much.
When I was in junior high,
I follow all of his works.
You like him, too?
He's my role model.
Brandon Stanton told
stories of the people
in Central Park of New York
through photos and this blog.
This blog was adapted into a book
and it became a best-seller.
I want a project like this.
Telling stories of people
through the honest series of photographs.
I have an idea.
What if we raise the issue
of educational inequality in Indonesia
through the stories of children
with different social
and economy background?
So, we're gonna display your photos
and the interview with those kids.
We'll make installation.
So, the visitors
can enjoy our work
and feel closer to the children.
But I need the data of those kids soon.
- Is it possible?
- Atya.
That has been my concern.
Social gap.
Okay. It's a deal, then.
Brandon Stanton
is gonna be our main reference.
- Deal.
- Deal.
Okay.
You know what?
Your house...
is just like mine.
So quiet.
Well, it's just me and my mom.
My dad left us when I was a kid.
So, this is it.
Yeah.
I know how it feels.
Feeling alone at home.
I feel it, too.
Dad is busy at work...
My mom is home,
but I rarely talk to my mom.
I'd rather get busy with projects
here and there...
a freelance photographer.
It may be hard to start...
but...
isn't it the driving force...
that keeps us strong until now?
It forces us to learn
to stand on our own two feet...
instead of counting on others.
The way I see it...
the first person
who helps us to rise from adversity...
is ourselves.
Not your parents, not your friends,
not even your boyfriend.
Just like here and now.
We've been so focused on the project...
we haven't had dinner.
You may be fine without dinner.
- But I can't.
- Okay, so you want me to order some food?
You're hungry, aren't you?
- I've been hungry since an hour ago.
- Okay, but you beat around the bush.
- Okay.
- Maybe you can be a bit more sensitive.
These are the color palette.
I think warm colors would be great.
Okay, and I want the cover to be, like...
- Okay. Yes.
- big and long
so that when people see...
Let me see.
And over here there should be...
a drawing of a camera.
I can't draw a camera.
It's upside down.
But it's something like this,
only better.
I'M SO EXCITED WITH OUR PROJECT.
IT'S SOMETHING NEW FOR ME.
KEEP IT UP!
I'M SURE THE RESULT IS GONNA BE GREABECAUSE YOUR IDEA WAS GREAT, ATYA.
THANKS, HIRO. SO EXCITED.
THANKS, HIRO. SO EXCITED.

- What flavor is that?
- Original flavor.
- What about yours?
- Here.
- Just one.
- Where's my order?
- Why don't you go and ask?
- No, I ordered...
- What do you wanna eat?
- Is it okay if I start first?
I want something spicy.
Rena.
- Ren. Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- Are you really okay?
- I'm okay.
- Raline!
- Is it dirty?
- You're way out of line.
- Are your clothes dirty?
- Thanks, Atya.
- What are you talking about?
What did I do?
I clearly didn't do anything.
It was totally her fault.
She has four eyes,
but she can't use any of them properly.
You bully her one more time,
I'll go and tell the teachers.
What's gonna happen?
- So, we...
- Throw this.
Throw this to her. Hurry.
I'm okay.
- Oh my God.
- Are you okay?
I'm good.
- Raline.
- It's all wet.
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- Let's just go back to the classroom.
- Let's take her to her class.
My uniform is all wet.
Atya.
Let's go see a movie after school.
It's been a while.
I tell you what.
You pick the movie. What do you say?
I can't, Diga.
I have so many things to do.
Atya, what did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong?
I feel that you've changed.
If I did make a mistake, I'm sorry.
I know we have our differences.
But I still love you.
If you want to...
I'll change for you.
And...
you have to know...
I like the new you better.
The brave Atya who knows what she wants.
I'm proud of you.
Atya.
What's up, Hiro?
- Our exhibition proposal was approved.
- Seriously?
- Hiro!
- Wait.
What proposal?
Hiro and I are gonna take part
in an art exhibition.
With him?
Yeah, we're a team.
When?
On the tenth, in two months.
On the tenth?
On our anniversary?
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm proud of the new Atya.
But I can't believe...
you'll forget about our anniversary.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk about the project tomorrow.
- On the tenth.
- On the tenth?
On our anniversary?
Do you really forget
what day it is today?
- It's our 12-year anniversary, Diga.
- Oh my God.
It's 12 years.
How could we just get rid of those years?
But I love you so much.
You have to know...
I like the new you better.
The brave Atya who knows what she wants.
- Excuse me, Sir.
- Yes?
Do you know where Mr. Mursyid's house is?
Just follow this road.
Keep going down and you'll find it.
It's the only house there.
Mr. Mursyid's house
is at the foot of this hill.
Please. Come in.
Andrew's room is on the third floor.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- I'm Atya.
- Andrew.
- Can I do an interview with you?
- Okay.
Hello.
- Andrew.
- Hiro.
Thank you, Ma'am.
I didn't go to school.
Neither does my son.
But there's a college student
who teaches him read and write.
Education is our priority.
My wife and I realize...
that we...
don't have much time for Andrew.
That's why we maximize his development...
through education.
Mr. Mursyid, how do you picture Arik...
when he's all grown up?
A scavenger, like me.
I used to take a robotic class,
but I don't think that's my passion.
A private tutor helps me study.
I have a piano lesson
and a badminton class.
Arik, what's your dream?
I dreamt...
the junk next to our house...
piles up so high.
And then it fell onto our house.
I got rolled down...
I couldn't breath.
I mean, what do you wanna be
when you grow up?
What do you call it? Engineer.
I think that's what they call it.
One thing for sure, I'm very interested
in environmetal issues.
Our future is in big trouble
due to global warming.
So, my dream is to create
a sustainable environment.
I want to create an innovation
related to renewable energy...
or maybe I can be
one of the policymakers.
I know it's a big dream,
but Daddy said
there's no dream that we can't reach
as long as we work hard.
- Hello, Ma'am.
- Welcome.
- Yes. Sir.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Hello, Ma'am.
- Please.
We'd like to ask your permission
to do an interview.
- Yeah, sure. Please.
- Yeah, it's okay.
Hello, what's your name
and where do you go to school?
I go to Panagan State Elementary School.
What do you wanna be?
I don't want to.
I wanna be a police officer.
Wow, a police officer.
But the gap between Andrew and Arik
are so obvious.
Actually, Arik can do that, too.
I'm amazed by a kid as young as Andrew
who has a great and mature vision.
- We can take that issue to our exhibition.
- Seriously?
Hiro.
- It tickles.
- Here.
Here, it'll open your eyes.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
Arik.
What's that?
This is so good.
Now I know...
you wanna be an engineer
to build a windmill, don't you?
- That's right.
- You're such a smart boy.
Do you know?
In a country called Netherlands
there are huge and nice windmills.
Here. Let me show you.
Here.
- Like this.
- It's so cool.
I know, right?
One day, you'll make one like this.
Amen.
- Don't forget to eat this.
- Okay.
Atya!
Chi, what are you doing here?
You have to check Raline's posts
right now.
- There.
- What's going on?
A NEW BOYFRIEND?
OR IS IT AN AFFAIR?
A NEW BOYFRIEND?
OR IS IT AN AFFAIR?
I tried calling you,
but you didn't pick up.
I couldn't. I'm busy with this stuff.
Hi.
Diga, please,
don't let Raline's posts provoke you.
- You know very well that Raline...
- It's okay. I'm okay.
I'm sorry
about yesterday.
I was just jealous...
with Hiro.
I don't want to make you
doubt yourself...
about taking part in this exhibition.
Prepare yourself the best you can do.
I know nothing...
about camera or photography.
But...
I'll always be there for you.
Thank you.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom, get well soon, okay...
so that we can hunt more pictures
just like how we used to.
Lately...
I've been working on a project
with Atya.
Photo hunting, as well.
Just like you did.
I wanna introduce her to you.
Mom.
When I'm with Atya...
I don't feel alone anymore.
I never felt so comfortable before.
And now I understand
why you love photographs.
We can make the moments
with our beloved ones eternal.
So, we don't have to worry
about losing them.
I don't wanna stay here anymore, Hiro.
Mom.
You'll be alright.
Don't worry.
You have me here, Mom!
You are...
much stronger...
than me.
You are not me.

My dad beats me up at home.
I don't want him to know about this.
He'll beat Mom, too.
I don't want him to beat Mom.
I don't want him to beat Mom.
I promise I'll never do that again.
I was just joking, Sir.
Joking, huh?
Are the things that you did to Renata
also a joke?
You bully her...
and upload bad things about Renata.
Where did you get this?
Have teachers been monitoring
students' social media?
Asking that question
shows that you don't know
what you did wrong.
It's not that. I said I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry. I was just...
Move it.
Yeah, like that.
- Shall I cut this?
- Yes.
What are you guys doing?
We're trying to cut this, Sir.
Good.
- Good.
- This one is also good.
Yeah, this is good.
Yes.
Did you invite Diga?
Who did you invite?
Just my dad and my mom.
But I'm not sure they'll come.
I'm sure they'll come.
They'll be proud of this.
Trust me.
Keep it up.
- Keep it up.
- Keep it up.
THE CHILDREN OF THE NATION
ART EXHIBITION
IS AN EXHIBITION THAT ROOTED
FROM A SMALL IDEA
OF HIROAKI SASTRAATMADJA
AND AGASTYA RENANDI.
AGASTYA (ATYA) AND HIROAKI BELIEVE
THAT PHOTOGRAPHY
ACCOMPANIED WITH SUBJECT INSTALATION
THAT THEY VISITED
IS AN HONEST AND PERSONAL WAY
TO GET TO KNOW SOMEONE.
To gallery visitors,
may I have your attention, please?
Hiroaki and Agastya.
With a very original way,
they manage to present information
based on concrete data
about the effect of the gap
in Indonesia's education quality.
This work has shown me...
that youth like them
still have the moral concern
that we're expecting
from the future generation.
And I think this work is brilliant.
Furthermore, I'm going to give Arik
a scholarship
and make sure...
that Arik receives the best education
that he deserves.
Thank you, Sir.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Happy anniversary.
Runner-up Best Photo.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
Do you wanna celebrate it?
Let's have dinner.
You pick the place.
DAD
Diga, there's something
I need to discuss.
Can I go first?
- But this is also important...
- Do you wanna break up with me?
Atya.
Atya, I love you so much.
What did I do wrong?
Diga.
If you say that to the old Atya...
she'd be over the moon.
I'm sorry.
For the dream you're going to reach...
and the dream I'm going to reach.
Take care.
Thank you.
- Gotta go. Bye.
- Okay. Take care.
Sachi, you're still here?
- Have you seen Hiro?
- Hiro?
There he is.
Hiro.
- Hiro, where are you going?
- My mom is hospitalized.
I'm coming with you.
I should've known it's gonna happen.
But I didn't think she'd do this!
- Hiro, slow down.
- I can't slow down.
My mom is rushed to the hospital, Atya.
She tried to end her own life.
Mom...
Hiro, but this is dangerous.
I shouldn't have gone there!
I should've stayed with her at home!
- Mom...
- Hiro, it's dangerous.
Hiro!
Surprise!
Hiro.
Hiro!
Atya.
Where's Hiro, Mom?
Atya.
Atya.
Nurse.
2 WEEKS LATER
Okay, Atya, let's try
from your right leg.
What about the left?
Now let's try your arms.
Okay.
Okay, now let's try your left arm.
Your responses for the last two weeks
have been very good, Atya.
Usually, someone who wakes up
after a week in a coma
doesn't show as good improvement as you.
Thank you, Doctor.
And if everything's good...
Atya can go home.
- Thank you so much, Doctor.
- You're welcome.
Are you happy?
When you were in a coma
at the hospital...
Sachi told me about you and Diga.
Don't worry about it, Dear.
I'm sure...
you'll find the one for you.
Don't let...
anyone ruin your life.
I was scared
when I heard about the accident.
I thought I lost you.
But, yeah, Mom...
we have to learn to let go.
And I learnt...
that we can't change anything in life.
We can only accept it,
let go of it,
and keep on going.
Don't waste our precious time, Mom.
Listen to me.
We'll stay together, Mom.
I promise you.
I'll never let any man
ruin my life.
You shouldn't, either.
Walk away from your sadness.
Okay.
Okay, Mom? Stay happy.
I know how it feels.
Feeling alone at home.
I feel it, too.
MR. PANDU, THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY
BEFORE I LEAVE FOR JAPAN TONIGHT.
MR. PANDU, THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY
BEFORE I LEAVE FOR JAPAN TONIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE KNOWLEDGE...
Mom.
Yes?
Hi, Hiro.
Do I know you?
I'm Atya...
Agastya Renandi.
We were in the same year,
alumni of Bina Nasional High School.
- Do you remember?
- Yes.
To what do I owe this pleasure?
I heard about your mother.
My deepest condolences.
Yes, thank you.
Are you okay?
Yes.
She's in a better place now.
What is it, Atya?
I heard
you're leaving for Japan tomorrow.
Yes, that's right.
I'll stay in Japan for a week
to be with my mom's side of the family.
Atya, why are you here?
As far as I can remember,
we never talked before,
but now you're here.
Brandon Stanton.
I wanna learn photography, Hiro.
Telling stories of people
through the frames of photographs.
Just like what Brandon Stanton said.
I know it's too late to start, but...
I remember you liked taking pictures
in high school.
- And you were into photography.
- Yes.
So, I wanna learn from you,
have a little practice. Can I?
Yeah. Sure you can.
It's not too late.
I'd be happy to teach you.
Okay. Let's talk again
after you come back from Japan.
After I come back from Japan?
But my flight is at midnight.
I still have four to five hours
to teach you.
But, promise me,
after I come home from Japan
you have to present a photo
as a result of today's lesson. Okay?
Okay.
Okay. Let's go.
Are we going to the darkroom?
I'm gonna get the camera.
You can't practice without a camera.
How do you know
about the darkroom? Come in.
