Program Note
This movie was not written by somebody, but it deals with history witnessed by things. However, the level of history here is neither the record of a unique moment, such as a great invention, nor a revolutionary moment like the overthrow of a social system. The history the movie deals with is a diachronic bundle of private histories of characters living in Indonesia now. A man pacifies himself in a military jeep while still bearing the trace of a widow. A young bride leaves for an unknown world in the same jeep after killing her old husband. Also, three women in a band take a journey in the same jeep to create special memories for themselves. However, the movie is not a simple omnibus that presents a bundle of micro-histories. In the scenes the jeep doesn’t appear the movie shows the fierce struggles of people left on a base ruined by a forced demolition. Their fights mesh with other characters’ micro-histories, giving us the opportunity to explore the social aspect of contemporary Indonesia. (PARK Jin-hee)
