JAKARTA - The Cherish & Ruelle film will soon be available at KlikFilm on February 10, 2023. Directed by Azhar Kinoi Lubis, the film, which was adapted from the novel with the same title, features several young actors, including Cut Beby Tsabina, Febby Rastanti and Prince Lantang.

Kinoi expressed his enthusiasm for the screening of Cherish & Ruelle. For him, what his film offers is something new.

"This is a new genre for me. You could say this (the genre) is an action thriller drama," said Azhar Kinoi Lubis at the Falcon Pictures office, South Jakarta on Wednesday, February 8, 2023.

It's also funny because there are two characters, Febby and Bebi. So I've been waiting for this to be released for a long time, it's very excited with the audience for this new genre, which may still be common with the action thriller drama," he continued.

Despite being adapted from novel works, Kinoi explained that his film does not imitate what is presented in the novel. The reason is, there is a fundamental difference between the reader of the novel and the audience of the film when they see a story.

Not identical to a novel, because the novel is wilder, how to build the reader's imagination. So, if the content is the same but the perspective is more on film, not copy paste," said Kinoi.

Similar to the director, Febby Rastanty, who plays Ruelle, also expressed her enthusiasm. The thriller genre film is a new thing in his acting career. Moreover, he also got a role that has quite complex characteristics.

SINOPSIS This film itself tells about the figure of Cherish (Cut Beby Tsabina), a young fashion designer who has promised the late aunt Yuna, a figure who has been a replacement for her parents since childhood. He promised to return to buy their house that had been sold.

Assisted by Ruelle (Febby Rastanty), her best friend who always has wild and crazy ideas, Cherish does things beyond his will such as robbing a restaurant to stealing a diamond belonging to a wealthy businessman named Richella.

Unfortunately, Richella died of her own mistakes. However, Cherish and Ruelle were accused of killing Richella. Elio ( Prince Lantang), son of Richella who is known as a psychopath, also tried to take revenge by chasing Cherish and Ruelle.

Despite trying to fight back, Cherish and Ruelle were finally caught by Elio. That's when Ruelle confessed that she had killed Yuna's aunt.

The admission angered Cherish, until finally Elio took advantage of Cherish's anger to torture Ruelle. However, in the midst of his anger, Cherish realized and finally forgiven Ruelle.

When Elio was caught off guard, Cherish tried to save Ruelle. Elio was killed and Cherish was seriously injured. Finally Ruelle took Cherish to the hospital.

Ruelle also sold the painting worth the money she stole, until they finally managed to buy back Yuna's aunt's house. Finally Cherish and Ruelle decided to be Best Friend Forever.
