Autobiography

In a mountainous Indonesian village, Rakib, a fresh high-school graduate, cannot figure out his future. One thing is for sure, he does not want to work in his family’s corn field as his conservative father wants him to. One day, a former military general arrives in his village. The general runs for the local election and wants Rakib to portray the young him in a propagandistic biopic film made for local TV. In order to accomplish this, Rakib’s acting skills are trained under the general’s direct supervision.
