Before she leaves for good, she decides to spend an unforgettable trip with her best friends in a distant fishing village. There she discovers love for the first time. The encounter ever so brief, but has left something she can take away with her forever. At the same fishing village, Ah Mei, a girl whos had a tough time in the big city, comes back home to the village to revisit her past. She finds herself reuniting with two boys from her childhood. But time has quietly tarnished their friendship, without them ever aware of the innocence lost. |

It might be the greatest gift of art to human beings. We all know how a film is made: it is written, shot, edited, and then it can be screened and enjoyed by the people in theatres. But not many people know the role of this young 22 years old young man named JONI in the overall process mentioned above. He is the man behind the scene. He is the one who determines whether we can watch the movie in the theatre or not. He is a reel delivery man. When Joni is on duty, a film reel will be delivered on time so the spectators will never see this sign on the screen: "SORRY, WAITING FOR THE NEXT REEL." That is Jonis promise.
But one day, it seems that the whole town is conspiring against him, making it difficult for him to deliver the last reel on time, just when he has something big at stake, a promise to the girl of his future.Joni has to deal with so many eccentric characters, small roads of Jakarta that are similar to labirinth, competing with time to fulfill his promise. Will Joni make it? Is his battle a waste? |
