Followed by conversation with Asha Smara Darra, Lyza Anggraheni, Charlie Meliala, moderated by Lisabona Rahman (in English)

Sara, a transwoman, has to return to her village to attend the funeral of her father. Once there, she discovers that her mother is severely traumatized by her father's death, has no memory of her and treats her like a complete stranger. When her attempts to recover her mother's memories fail miserably, Sara decides to create new memories for her mother by play-acting as her late father, the person she despises the most and the reason she escaped her family a long time ago.
