It is a very important film for Indonesia, where sometimes there's a lack of sensitivity and care on the parts of the authorities, media and public when it comes to handling cases of sexual violence.
Psychologically speaking, it's never easy to revisit traumatic events, especially when you're still under duress. Sometimes our sensitivity can be lacking, because we are not well equipped with understanding traumatic experiences.
This movie is only a first step towards understanding the trauma and recovery process of a sexual assault victim. It made beautifully with the pace and visual symbolism to make the audience perceive the constant tortures that haunted the sexual assault victims.
Hundreds other films should be made after this to complete the journey, so we can stand together to eradicate social violence from our civilization.
