In this film, he follows choreographer and dancer Cheroney Pelupessy as she travels to Jakarta with her mother. It is the place where Cheroney's mother grew up, yet always remained anxiously silent about. During the journey, they attempt to confront her traumatic past together and, in doing so, grow closer. What begins as a search for a forgotten family history unfolds into a poignant portrait of tensions, traumas, and the hope for connection.
