Ladya Cheryl absolutely nailed her performance — seriously top-notch. Her chemistry with Marthino Lio really works. The film dives into Ajo Kawir’s journey as an impotent man (yeah, that kind of problem) trying to find his identity and sense of manhood. The story’s kinda heavy, to be honest, but still very engaging. It really makes you wonder: what exactly is Ajo Kawir searching for? What drives him to do all those crazy things?
