Setengah Sendok Teh

About This Movie

Setengah Sendok Teh is a poignant exploration of love and routine wrapped in the simplicity of daily rituals. The unnamed wife, portrayed with a subtle strength, crafts her husband's coffee with an almost obsessive care, yet he remains indifferent to her efforts. It’s this quiet tension that permeates the film, balancing between the warmth of domestic life and the ache of unreciprocated affection. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the viewer to soak in each moment, each coffee cup filled with hope and disappointment. The atmosphere is one of intimate familiarity, where practical effects are minimal but effective, drawing more on the nuances of the performances rather than flashy visuals. There's a certain beauty in its understated approach, a reminder of how love can manifest in the most mundane of actions.
