상흔의 여행
This is one of a series of compilations: seven short fiction films and three short documentaries. It is directed by ten filmmakers, visual artists and musicians to honor the tenth anniversary of the Indonesian Reform era. A boy and a girl, Carlo and Shila, meet each other on a bus one evening. Shila collects stories about scars and always yearns for the existence of a wound. This is a trip that Carlo will never forget. The scar is a concrete memory: a memory of a moment and its pain, but also a memory of what the pain accompanied?possibly eroticism.
