In the bustling streets of Jakarta, a devout young woman named Cahaya embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery and redemption. After years of separation, she reunites with her long-lost parent, Ipuy, a transgender sex worker who has been living a life that is worlds apart from Cahaya's own. As they spend a powerful evening together, they confront their shared past and grapple with the complexities of love, identity, and family. Through their moving and thought-provoking encounter, both Cahaya and Ipuy are forever changed, learning valuable lessons about acceptance, forgiveness, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
