Riwayat Ceti

About This Movie

Riwayat Ceti is a poignant exploration of struggle, set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ceti's financial woes are palpable, with her clothing kiosk in Bogor Market shutting down just as her husband's job as a debt collector becomes nearly impossible. It’s raw, really—a mother's desperation as her son craves a smartphone, a symbol of normalcy in a world turned upside down. The pacing feels deliberate, reflecting the slow crawl of hardship, while the performances ground the narrative in harsh reality. There's a somber tone throughout that really makes you feel for these characters. It's pretty distinctive in its focus on the everyday tribulations that often get overlooked in more dramatic narratives.
