Yuni

In a small Indonesian town, a bright and ambitious high school student named Yuni dreams of attending university, but her community has other plans for her. Pressured by her family and friends to get married, Yuni finds herself at a crossroads between fulfilling her own desires and conforming to societal expectations. Despite the risks of being labeled unmarriageable, Yuni courageously resists the proposals of two men she barely knows, sparking gossip and speculation about her future. As she navigates the complex web of cultural norms and personal aspirations, Yuni turns to poetry as a source of solace and self-expression. But when her literature teacher, a man she admires and respects, proposes to her, Yuni must make a difficult decision that will determine the course of her life. Will she choose to follow her heart or conform to the expectations of her community?
