Get Married

In a sun‑drenched village on the outskirts of Jakarta, tradition drifts through daily life like a familiar song. The close‑knit community watches over one another, and parental expectations echo loudly in the modest homes that line the narrow lanes. Mae, a spirited tomboy who prefers the freedom of the fields to the confines of a wedding dress, lives under the watchful eyes of her parents, Pak Mardi and Bu Mardi, who worry that her unconventional path might leave her without a future partner.

Surrounding her are three inseparable friends who share her restless energy. Eman, the loyal confidant whose own quirks sometimes lead to comic misunderstandings, stands beside Beni, whose easy smile hides a deeper yearning for purpose, and Guntoro, whose hearty laughter often masks a quiet introspection. Together they form a makeshift support network, each grappling with personal ambitions while trying to safeguard Mae’s happiness against the tide of societal pressure.

When the village’s quiet rhythm is nudged by the arrival of a charismatic outsider—Rendy, a tall, well‑educated young man whose reputation precedes him—a fresh current of possibility ripples through the community. His interest in Mae stirs both excitement and anxiety, prompting the friends to rally protectively around her, their camaraderie blending humor with heartfelt concern. The dynamic between Mae’s fierce independence, her parents’ gentle coercion, and the friends’ earnest meddling creates a lively, affectionate tug‑of‑war that feels both universal and uniquely Indonesian.

The film unfolds with a warm, comedic tone, balancing affectionate ribbing with tender moments that highlight the intricate dance between personal desire and collective expectation. It invites viewers to linger in the village’s lively atmosphere, to wonder how love, friendship, and tradition will intersect, and to enjoy the spirited chatter that keeps the heart of the story beating.
