Homecoming



Adriyanto Dewo : 2019
Mudik

Going back to their hometown for the holidays is a ritual that most urban Asians will undertake at least once a year. It is a journey to reunite with their family and their roots and to recharge themselves. Trying to find solutions for conflicts in her marriage, Aida goes on a road trip with her husband for homecoming. During the trip, they are involved in a fatal road accident in which a man – someone's husband – is killed, and they make a detour to his village to pay their respects to his widow. This accident will jolt them together but also painfully drive them further apart. The unexpected journey forces Aida to face a different future and find answers to the questions in her life. It leads to a metamorphosis through which she will become a better version of herself. Adriyanto Dewo's feature premiered in competition at Macao International Film Festival 2019.
