Plot
Four stories unfold in Jakarta, a big city that feels cold and dehumanizing. Life there strips away meaning, turning people into soulless zombies. In their search for purpose, youths turn to the only things that seem worthwhile—television and movies. This obsession pushes them down a dark path, transforming them into twisted versions of anti-heroes who make anti-social choices that spiral out of control.
