Prilly admits that she is enthusiastic about the theme, which is rarely used in Indonesian films. "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 when met at Plaza Senayan. , Monday, January 31.

As a result, this film provides an unusual story. Not only about love among teenagers, but also how to accept the strengths and weaknesses of a partner.

This success turned out to be colored by drama by Umay. "Umay five days before filming suddenly wanted to resign," recalled Prilly.

Umay admitted that he was nervous and questioned himself whether it would work. "Honestly, I had doubts, because this film is going to be heavy. With a message like this, I doubt whether it can be done. So ask Prilly, are you sure I'm not the director?" he recalled.

Prilly Latuconsina, who also acts as producer of Kukira Kau Home, immediately took firm steps. "I immediately said, if Umay wasn't the director, I didn't want to shoot. Well, if he backed out, everyone backed out. Finally, it was explained that everyone would be nervous about trying new things. Finally, I went and made this film," he explained.
