Kita Punya Bendera

About This Movie

Kita Punya Bendera is a subtle drama that explores identity through the eyes of a young boy named Timmy. Set against the bustling backdrop of Jakarta, it captures the innocence of childhood friendships across diverse ethnic backgrounds—Tionghoa, Javanese, Balinese, and Batak. The film's pacing is gentle, allowing moments of introspection, especially during the examination scene where the kids confront their heritage. The performances feel genuine, with a rawness that resonates. It’s not flashy, but that’s where its charm lies. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on the emotional landscape of the characters. The atmosphere is nostalgic, perhaps even melancholic, reflecting the complexities of cultural identity in a modern Indonesia.
