Synopsis:

When Rain (William Tjokro) looks back as a 32-year-old, he reflects that it all started the day the enigmatic Kris (Natalius Chendana, a star is born) protected him from bullies in high school. Kris went on to demand Rain’s friendship, insisting on sleepovers and telling him to ditch his other friends, despite himself pursuing nights out with a succession of casual girlfriends. Rain, who’s coming to terms with being gay, can’t understand at all, and he’s devastated when Kris abruptly disappears from his life. But he gets over it, and has a formative sexual experience on a visit to Bangkok. Several years later he gets a surprising invitation to visit Kris, now married and living in Bali. But what does Kris really want?

Andri Cung’s debut feature is essentially about the ways we all learn from experience… and the ways we try to avoid getting trapped in recurring mistakes. It flirts with schmaltz in a few voice-overs and with melodramatic excess in its closing scenes, but is for the most part acutely observed, exceptionally well-acted and ardently sincere. It sustains its three-act structure with aplomb and looks and sounds great. It’s also sexy, seductive and emotionally very, very intense.
