Synopsis

Ahmad–a closeted gay Muslim man–finds out that his boyfriend has just passed away as he is about to celebrate his 25th birthday with his mother and close friends at home. Ahmad tries to get out of the house and deal with himself, but every single time, he is unable to do so as he has to keep pretending that everything is okay in front of them. As the day goes by, Ahmad finds it harder and harder to keep everything bottled up inside.

Kurnia Alexander

Through frequent visits to VCD rentals and TV, Kurnia Alexander fell in love with romcoms, sitcoms, and horror and has been dreaming of making movies since he was a child. Despite never having formal training in filmmaking, Kurnia is promising himself that he's going to turn this dream into reality–be it behind or in front of the camera. So far, Kurnia has been making short films & web series that dealt with queer themes and humanity at large and is ready to take on the world as an Indonesian filmmaker to look out for.
