The Dreamer

Three friends are growing up on the island of Belitung. Ikal, Arai and Jimbron. All three are seventeen. They go to school and work small jobs. The island is small and the opportunities are limited. Even so they have large dreams. Ikal has not forgotten his first love. The girl has left the island and all that is left is a tin box. Arai is taken with a girl in his class. Whether she will return it is not clear. Jimbron’s trouble is another one. He is thinking about a girl who works in a factory. Together the three are looking for a way off the island. The film is adapted from a novel and is part of a series. Vikri Septiawan and Rendy Ahmad appear in the hundred and twenty one minute film, an Indonesian production Riri Riza finished in 2009.
