The late 1960s. Nana cannot escape her past. Poverty-stricken, having lost her family to the war in West Java, she marries again and begins a new life. But the past lives on in her dreams. Her new husband is wealthy, but her place in the home is menial, and he is unfaithful. Nana suffers in silence until the day she meets one of her husband’s mistresses, and everything changes. Ino is someone she can trust, someone who offers her comfort and to whom she can confide her secrets, past and present. Together, the two women find hope of new freedom.
