Synopsis

A tender, melancholic night is experienced through the eyes of three women as they struggle to find themselves in the ever-changing concrete jungle of Jakarta.

Gia returns home to Jakarta after years of living abroad and realizes that the place she considers home - conservative Jakarta - is no place for a lesbian. Indri the gym towel girl wants to climb up the social ladder by losing her virginity to a "Prince Charming" she met in a chat room. Mrs Surya loses her identity when she finds out her late husband, to whom she had devoted her life, had another woman.
