25-year-old Sita makes a living as a prostitute in a karaoke bar, but not even this is enough to support her sick mother who is looking after her little girl in the country, nor does she have sufficient funds to pay off her debt to the brutal pimp Suroso. Desperation forces the young woman to find an uninviting but cheap bedsit in an attic room above a photographic studio. Its owner, the taciturn, withdrawn aging photographer Johan, begins to form a part of her life - if in quite a different way from the men she has known until now. The woman resolves to start afresh. When she discovers that the sick photographer only has a few months to live, she decides to fulfill his last wishes.

This film does a great job of illustrating the goodness in people dispite the ugliness that seems to surround us. Sita, the lead in this film has a smile that will make you smile no matter how depressing you her situation. Although I enjoyed this movie, I felt the closing minutes of the film could have been a little more satisfying.
