<p>In Indonesia, where LGBTQI+ folks are still heavily discriminated against, many still have to hide their identity due to fear of oppression by those in power. This film follows Teguh, who was dishonorably discharged as a policeman due to his sexual orientation. With the support of his partner Tonny, Teguh decides to pursue justice by bringing his case to court; an unheard-of act in Indonesia's LGBTQI+ community. The potential dangers of going against the institution are counterbalanced by a foundational love story between Teguh and Tonny, which clearly justifies and validates their fight.</p>
