JAKARTA - Prilly Latuconsina and Umay are ready to appear through their latest film titled Kukira Kau Rumah. This MD Pictures production film has the theme of mental health.

MD Pictures raised the theme to increase a strong film ecosystem by enriching the film's story. "I believe that collaboration is one of the keys to being able to create a good business ecosystem, in order to always produce quality products that provide premium entertainment," said Manoj Punjabi, CEO of PT MD Pictures Tbk, Thursday, September 10.

Kukira Kau Rumah tells the story of PRAM (21 years old), a lonely young man, since middle school his father has died, and his mother is busy working. Pram fills his days by playing music and composing songs while working at a music cafe. Until then, Pram knew NISKALA (19 years).

Pram was then close to Niskala, and one thing that Pram did not know at that time was; Niskala people with bipolar. Niskala actually studied secretly without the knowledge of his father, DEDI (50 years old). Niskala's only goal was to prove to his father that even with his illness, Niskala would still be able to excel.

This is only known by MELA (48 years old), Niskala's mother, and Niskala's two friends, OKTAVIANUS (20 years old) and DINDA (19 years old). With that condition, basically Niskala's condition is very limited. But since Pram became familiar with Niskala, Niskala's life has changed.

Prilly admitted that she was enthusiastic about the theme, which is rarely brought up in this Indonesian film. "We chose this issue because we want people to be more concerned with mental health. Mental health is as important as physical health. Until now, many people underestimate mental health and do not understand how to handle people with mental disorders," said Prilly.

Ignorance of the importance of mental health makes people label "crazy people" to people who have mental illness. "And not a few people also associate mental illness with whether or not the person is close to God. Even though mental illness has many causes and needs to be treated by professionals. Mental health can also cause death," added Prilly Latuconsina.

Prilly is optimistic that conveying this message through films will be more effective and have a greater impact. Therefore, as Prilly, who also serves as a producer, is interested in joining the song Amygdala as part of the film Kukira Kau Rumah.

"This song has lyrics that are very relatable to today's young people. Of course the lyrics of the song Kukira Kau Rumah is one of the important elements in this film, apart from that the amygdala, which is part of the independent music community, has the same vision and mission of working. like us," said Prilly Latuconsina.

In line with Prilly, Umay admitted that he was interested in making the film Kukira Kau Home his feature film debut because the theme was close to him. "Because I feel close to mental health issues that I will present in my feature debut. From the beginning I wrote this scenario with the Sinemaku Pictures team, Mr. Monty Tiwa and Mas Imam Salimy, we agreed that the film Kukira Kau Rumah is a tabulation form or can also be used as a tabulation. can be called a collection of stories from our friends," he explained.
