JAKARTA - Talented young actress Mawar De Jongh is back to greet Indonesian film lovers through her latest project, Ayah Ini Arahnya Kemana, Ya?
In this film, Mawar is trusted to play a character named Dira, an eldest child who has to face a complicated family dynamic.
Mawar revealed that Dira's character has many layers of problems, ranging from affairs with her younger brother to problems from both her parents. According to him, expressing this character is a challenge in itself.
"Mbak Dira certainly has her own difficulties because of how she conveys it (emotions) but it doesn't look too much, because she is quiet and quite keeps her feelings," said Mawar De Jongh at a press conference, Thursday, April 2.
Even though he was faced with a complex psychological character, Bryan Domani's lover felt very helped by his co-star.
"Praise God, I met amazing friends here, so the whole process feels easier," he added.
Furthermore, Mawar also told about her experience when she had to perform a very intense ensemble scene. He did not deny that he was nervous when he first read the script for the scene.
"There is indeed one scene that is quite intense and quite long. It was definitely very nervous when I first read it, I thought how it would be like that," explained the singer of More Than My Ego.
To overcome nervousness and build the right emotions in front of the camera, Mawar and the other cast members have a special habit just before the director calls action.
"Before the take, we always hold hands, like equalizing the vision 'we can definitely do it', and giving each other positive energy. So I'm really lucky to be in this project with all of them," concluded Mawar.
Synopsis Ayah Ini Arahnya Kemana, Ya?
Dira (Mawar De Jongh) and Darin (Rey Bong) grew up under the roof of "Soto Bu Lia": a warung house that looks familiar from the outside but is filled with silent words that have never been spoken and promises that always miss.
Yudi (Dwi Sasono) is there, but his presence never gives direction, Lia (Unique Priscilla) works tirelessly, covering the family's debts and wounds to appear intact for his children.
Their early memories are sweet and simple, but underneath lies an emptiness waiting for a trigger. Everything changes when an incident in the house, a brutal stove explosion hits the family's routine.
Lia was seriously injured, the main support of the household collapsed. Then the house became an emergency hospital, and the burden of medical costs soared. That moment opened the door to the fragility that had been hidden, the accumulated debt, the uncertainty, and the truth that could no longer be covered with a smile.
From there, the family's life, which had revolved around habits, was accelerated into an emergency, and Dira was drawn to the front lines of the struggle.
The film itself will begin airing on April 9 and will feature the extraordinary acting of Dwi Sasono, Unique Priscillia, Baskara Mahendra to Reybong.
