This
theatre show is about two people – a man and a woman – interviewing civilians’
thoughts on love and the opposite sex. After a mixture of answers, they cease
their questions and the credits roll. The credits end as a boy, after being
rejected by his girlfriend, commits suicide by jumping onto a passing car.
Hangan walks off disturbed to his girlfriend Anggun’s office. there, he is criticized by her for his antics with other
women and his lack of passion for their love. She walks off, ending their
relationship.
Hanggan
is then shown as a civil engineer in Jakarta, still playful and fun-loving.
Accepting a request from his manager to go on a business trip to Melbourne, he
bids farewell to his friends. On the plane, he encounters a playful,
flirtatious girl, Alina, whom he sits next to during the flight. After spending
hours together, they become good friends and exchange details. However, by
coincidence, Alina is travelling to Melbourne to work in the same company as Anggun,
who is settled there. Together they seem to conveniently bump into Hanggan at
every corner, prompting an unwelcome reunion for Hanggan and Anggun.
While
Alina takes a liking to Hanggan, Anggun still ignores him, even though Hanggan
has ambitious of getting back together. At a restaurant, Hanggan bumps into a
fellow old friend and explains his love
for Anggun. The story then moves two years back for a flashback of events.
Hanggan had met Anggun at a birthday party, where she played a prank on Hanggan
and his friends. Taking a liking to her, Hanggan begins to follow Anggun
intentionally, hoping for her to fall in love with him. Soon after this
happens, she becomes more and more suspicious of Hanggan. This comes to a head
when Hanggan acts as the boyfriend of his friend’s girlfriend, only for Anggun
to get confused and mistake him. His reputation as a trusting boyfriend takes
another turn for the worse when at a wedding, the bride gives him a kiss after
he improvises a song.
At
the end of the film, the male interviewer who appeared at the start questions
Anggun on her decision to leave anonymously, however she refuses to answer. She
then confirms that she met up with Alina recently and had found that she is
married to Hanggan and had a child. She then walks away, claiming her future
lies in her own hands.
