Yuni (Arawinda Kirana) could have stepped out from the pages of a Jane Austen novel. A bright teenager, her life should be filled with exciting possibilities but she lives in Jenang, Indonesia, at the mercy of superstition and deep-rooted expectations. A school Islamic Club has banned musical activities and there is talk of mandatory virginity tests for female students. This is a society where a girl's greatest achievement is deemed to be a favourable marriage. Yuni’s ability to weather these pressures and follow her own path forms a touching tale treating hefty issues with the lightest of touches.
