Quand Yanto, un jeune homme germano-indonésien d’une vingtaine d’années rend visite à sa petite sœur à Yogyakarta, il s’attend à de simples retrouvailles, jusqu’à ce qu’il se rende compte qu’elle y trouve sa place bien plus facilement que lui. À mesure que jalousies et dissonances émergent entre frère et soeur, le séjour de Yantos devient une exploration douce-amère de l’identité métisse.

When German-Indonesian Yanto (mid 20s) visits his younger sister in Yogyakarta, he expects a simple reunion – until he realises she belongs more effortlessly than he ever has. As envy and dissonance between siblings surface, Yantos journey becomes a bittersweet exploration of mixed-race identity.
