Short description

Yuni is an Indonesian teenager finishing her final year of secondary school. Bright and ambitious, she hopes to continue her studies, but the people around her expect her to marry instead. When a man she barely knows proposes, she turns him down, and she refuses a second proposal as well. A local belief holds that a girl who rejects more than two proposals will never marry, and when a third man asks for her hand, Yuni must weigh her own plans against the pressures of her community. The film is set in the Banteng region and follows her struggle to decide her own future.

Kamila Andini directed the film, her third feature after Sekar and Angel Sign, working from a screenplay she wrote with Prima Rusdi. Arawinda Kirana plays Yuni, with Kevin Ardilova, Dimas Aditya, Neneng Wulandari, Vania Aurellia and Boah Sartika among the supporting cast. The production was a collaboration between companies in Indonesia, Singapore and France.

Released in December 2021, the drama runs 95 minutes. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.3 from around 1,800 votes, while on TMDB its rating is 6.8 from a much smaller number of votes. The gap reflects the different sizes and habits of the two audiences rather than any disagreement about the film itself.
