On Your Lap
Jury Comment On your Lap deals with the life of an Indonesian woman after the IMF crisis. It portrays the protagonist’s social and economic situation in a balanced way, without romanticizing poverty or reducing it to mere misery. Using a very traditional narrative style, the film stands out for its classical aesthetics and lyrical quality in depicting life’s hardships and hopes.
