JAKARTA - Acha Septriasa again shows her totality as an actress by exploring Anggie's character who has a complex layer of emotion. To revive Anggie's struggle, Acha uses her imagination as a mother and conducts in-depth research on true stories.
Although admitting that he did not experience stories like Anggie firsthand, Acha felt this role was very relevant to his life now living in Australia.
"That I am now in Australia where I know my child also lives in an environment where there are many Western people, I also feel that I must prepare it as a parent," explained Acha in the South Jakarta area, Wednesday, November 19.
Perspektif ini yang menjadi kunci utama Acha dalam membangun karakter Anggie. Ia memangkirakan putrinya, Bridgia, berada di posisi Anggie.
"So when I described Angie's character I imagined Bridgia actually," he said.
Acha dives into crucial questions, namely how it feels to be a young woman who is far from her family, studying abroad, and trapped in a toxic relationship.
"How can a person who is a lecturer aged 21, 20 years, but he is far from his family but he has no grip on where he should tell about his heart," he said.

Apart from imagination, research is an important pillar for Acha. He revealed that one of the scenes that attracted him to this film was the scene on the dining table. The scene where Anggie ventured to convey a news story that actually made him expelled from home.
To strengthen this scene, Acha and the production team conducted serious research.
"Before this film, we did hold a press conference event before shooting friends who created a YouTube channel about converting to Islam," he explained. From there, he gained invaluable insight.
Acha admitted that he talked a lot with speakers who had a similar story to Anggie, even more tragic.
"So I talked a lot with the resource persons who they haven't been received to this day with their families. So that's what made me also able to raid Anggie's role," said Acha.
