BASRI & SALMA IN A NEVER-ENDING COMEDY

North American Premiere

Screens as part of SHORTS PROGRAM: LIVE ACTION 1

A husband and wife own an Odong-Odong at the carnival together, spending their days entertaining and taking care of other people’s children without any of their own. Between meddling relatives, self-doubt and an explosive confrontation, they uncover why they have not been blessed with a child.
