Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Indonesian boarding school dramas (asrama stories) exploded in the 2010s, often exploring Islamic school hierarchies—this secular dormitory setting is a notable shift toward more class-conscious YA.
Director Ainun Ridho previously worked in documentary; this fictional debut keeps that observational, slightly detached eye on teenage performativity.
