KlikFilm Presents Cambodian Film After Lebaran, The Story Of Infidelity In The Boarding House

JAKARTA - After celebrating Lebatan Day 1443 H, KlikFilm exclusively presents a film produced by Falcon Pictures, entitled Kambodja. The film, made by director Rako Prijanto, stars Adipati Dolken, Della Dartyan, Revaldo, and Carmela van der Kruk.

This story is set in the city of Jakarta in 1955. Indonesia has not yet been independent for 10 years. Danti and her husband Sena visited a boarding house belonging to Cik Mei. Danti works in the library while Sena is active in a party. The boarding house only has three rooms. The first room is occupied by Bayu, a freelance writer for opinion columns and short stories in newspapers. While his wife, Lastri is a singer. The second room will be used by Danti and Sena. Meanwhile, the third room is more often empty, even though it was rented by someone named Erwan.

Boarding life feels lonely, when Sena goes out of town for party business. Meanwhile, Lastri also traveled around town to sing at a party's campaign event. Understandably, it was the months leading up to the 1955 elections.

Danti and Bayu hardly ever talk. Every time they passed each other in the hallway or dining room, the two of them just smiled and nodded their heads. As if that was the limit for the two of them. One night, a stifling Bayu brought his typewriter into the living room. It turned out that there was Danti sitting there fanning the heat. Bayu apologized and wanted to go elsewhere. But Danti prevented, because the air was very hot. The living room is the room with the best circulation, the air flows freely. Bayu smiled stiffly and started typing. He was not aware, when Danti quietly inched away.

Bayu submits his writing to the newspaper editor. The editor considered Bayu's writing to be too shallow. The writing was rejected. Bayu is annoyed, decides to go to the library to look for references. He did not expect to meet Danti there. Bayu reads and takes notes, until he forgets the time. Because they passed each other in front of the library when it was closing, Bayu and Danti couldn't help but walk together to return to their boarding house. While waiting for the public bus, they took shelter under a Cambodian tree. They spoke for the first time.

Life goes on boring. Danti was waiting for Sena to come home. Bayu was always left by Lastri. Unknowingly Bayu and Danti have a bond, because of similarities. Both feel lonely. Equally ignored.

One day, Danti checked Sena's wallet and got a ticket for a trip from Surabaya. In the next room, Bayu accidentally got a ticket for Lastri's trip from Surabaya. Danti talked to Bayu. The conversation revealed the story of Sena and Lastri's affair. Danti and Bayu were devastated by this fact. Even though both Danti and Bayu had many opportunities to do that. But they never took that chance.

In a state of injury, Danti and Bayu, forgot the wind and the direction of the map. They got lost. Just that once. That one incident actually made Danti stay away from Bayu, because she felt guilty. Meanwhile, Lastri and Sena agree to divorce their respective partners. Lastri left the boarding house and asked Bayu for a divorce. Meanwhile, Sena suddenly had a stroke before denying Danti.

The director of the Cambodian film, Rako Prijanto, admitted that he had no difficulties directing this film. "Thank God, everything went smoothly, there were no difficulties. All the players acted optimally. The chemistry between the players was also established during the reading process," he explained in a release received by VOI, Thursday, May 5.

Adipati Dolken also felt enthusiastic, with the screening of this Cambodian film. "Finally, after waiting a long time for this film to be released. Even though I've only seen the trailer, it's a little less curious," said Adipati Dolken.

The same thing was conveyed by Adipati Dolken's co-star, Della Dartyan. "Thank you, Mas Rako and Falcon Pictures, for giving me the opportunity to be involved in this Cambodian film," he said.

Revaldo also felt happy to be able to work together again with Rako Prijanto and Adipati Dolken. "This is not my first film with Rako Prijanto and Adipati Dolken. Hopefully, this film can entertain Indonesian film fans," he said.
