"......the film is not about rock music and neither is it about the music career of the protagonists (Aga and Gaia). It is about social class and isolation. The story of Aga and Gaia is a story about everyone who dares to step out of the box and walk against the mainstream in order to pursue their true passions and to find who they really are." Read the review of the film by Rohayati Paseng

This film screening is held in cooperation with East West Center Participant Association weekend movie program.

We would like to acknowledge Mira Lesmana and Miles Films for granting us permission to show this film.
