A tender, melancholic night is experienced through the eyes of
three women as they struggle to find themselves in this everchanging jungle of Jakarta. This film is a tribute not just to Jakarta
but to any big cities where culture clashes and identities are meshed. It is for urban souls who have
experienced loneliness, melancholia and uncertainty. Hopefully we can survive the city without losing
much of our soul. And hopefully the city can keep on thriving, keep on living with poise, maturity, and
grace.
