Kamila Andini : 2011
Laut bercermin
The sea and a mirror are what sustain the life of 12-year-old Pakis, who lives on the small Indonesian island of Kampung Bajo. Pakis sits in the midst of the floating village, waiting for her father who simply doesn't come back from fishing one day. The other children say he's dead, but Pakis refuses to believe this. Instead she searches for the truth in a small mirror her father once gave her. Pakis is full of hope that one day he will return; she cannot forget his stories of the wind and the sea. Her young mother has painted her face white and Pakis chides her for having given up on her father. When her mother breaks the mirror and falls for young Tudo, a dolphin researcher from Jakarta, Pakis despairs. Together with her best friend, Lumo, she continues to seek answers in the sea. Kamila Andini's debut feature paints a wonderfully detailed portrait of the pain and hope experienced by a young girl who must now come to terms with her loss. Its serene images portray the lives of the Bajo people today, sea nomads who have developed a unique way of life that is perfectly attuned to the sea. The film premiered at Busan International Film Festival 2011.
