This movie tells about three different Indonesian families. First, family of Tan Kat Sun (Henky Solaiman), a father and owner of a successful Chinese food restaurant. But he is irritated by his son, Ping Hen's (Rio Dewanto) attitude, who seems careless to the family. Ping Hen falls in love with Menuk (Revalina S. Temat), a beautiful woman from a Moslem family, who works in his father's restaurant. Unfortunately Menuk already made her choice, by marrying Soleh (Reza Rahadian), who's actually an unemployement and less fortunate than Ping Hen, but shares the same belief with her, Islam.
From the short description above, this movie depicts the reality of Indonesian culture and living. Religion difference has been a problem for married/dating couples. Indonesia isn't a secular country, and that's how the people live as well, so Indonesians (including me) always referring to their beliefs as their way of life. We can't get rid of that, it's not a simple matter. And I think this movie wants to carry out this question: why can't we put aside this fundamental difference and live our relationship with one simple base; love?
