JAKARTA - The film Mengjar Langit is ready to be screened on May 26, 2022 in all Indonesian cinemas. The film, directed by Bambang Drias, was originally scheduled to be screened on March 10. However, due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in February, the release of Chasing Heaven had to be postponed.

"What I'm worried about will happen again, it's true that the Omicor case was high in mid-February when the film 'Mengejar Langit' was ready to be broadcast. Of course I didn't want to take the risk, I had to ask for a rescheduling of the broadcast date," said Indra MS, the producer of Mengjar Heaven, quoted as saying from ANTARA, Thursday, April 21.

After undergoing a schedule change, Chasing Heaven is ready to hit theaters starting May 26. This Viera film is a family drama with an age limit of 13 years.

"I am very optimistic that 'Chasing Heaven' can provide entertainment to the audience. I have seen several Indonesian films that have been shown, the audience has started to do well. I hope that in the future, I will get better," said Indra.

The film, starring Al Ghazali, Jessica Mila, Kimberly Rider, Jeremy Thomas, Delano Daniel, Endhita, Mutia Datau, and Joshua Rubin, takes two different locations, the Netherlands and Indonesia. The choice of location between the Netherlands and Indonesia certainly has a strong enough background in this film.

In order to achieve his wish to make the father complementary in their later marriage, his mother also gave up the child's departure.

This search brought extraordinary inner and outer experiences, not to mention he found failure. God always had other plans, the meeting did happen, but unfortunately the father was not ready to accept the reality.

"So for the moral message, people of different nationalities don't have to divorce. Anyway, the true love found from the two partners does not have to meet, but it sticks together. That's the meaning of true love in this film," said Bambang.
