During an election year in Indonesia, Heni is a legislative council candidate in the middle of making a campaign video about a slum area on the outskirts of Jakarta. In the video, Heni will give a house to Satinah, an old widow whom Heni objectifies as a poor and miserable low class citizen. Satinah’s ability to fake cry according to the needs of the video, frustrates Heni and makes her try every possible way to make Satinah cry naturally.
