Dilan 1990

In 1990, Milea, Vanesha Prescillia, and her parents move from Jakarta to Bandung, bringing along her sister Adhisty Zara. On the way to school, she meets Dilan, Iqbaal Ramadhan, the “bad boy” and leader of a motorbike gang who promises that someday she will sit on his bike as his girlfriend.

Dilan begins flirting by visiting her house, making payphone calls, and sending her cheesy gifts. Unbeknownst to him, Milea already has a boyfriend named Benni in Jakarta; however, gradually, she grows uncomfortable with his rude and foul-mouthed behavior. With Dilan’s frequent, overconfident advances, Milea starts to develop feelings for him.

During a school visit to the TVRI headquarters in Jakarta, where Milea and other students are invited as quiz show contestants, Milea and Nandan encounter Benni, who aggressively beats Nandan, suspecting that he will “steal” his girlfriend. When Benni calls Milea indecent, she angrily dumps him, and he calls Milea a whore. She rejects his later apology.

Gradually, Dilan and Milea grow closer. They spend hours riding Dilan’s motorbike, holding hands, and talking on the phone at night. Milea successfully persuades Dilan to stop being involved in gang fights for good. As their bond deepens, Milea learns that he has been writing love poems about her.

One day, personal tutor Kang Adi, who is apparently in love with Milea, takes her to the Bandung Institute of Technology, despite her refusal. When Dilan finds out, he writes a dismayed letter, much to her despair. The next day, she looks for him at school only to get into a fight with drunken Anhar, one of Dilan’s gang members, who slaps Milea. Knowing this, Dilan beats Anhar in anger. Later that day, Dilan and Milea officiate their relationship with a proclamation.
