Overview
As an only child raised by a single mom, Alvin lives in the shadow of his mother, Marisa. A week before his wedding day in Solo, Alvin finds an old photo of his late father, which raises more questions on what his mother has made into a forbidden topic. After finding out his late father was a chef, Alvin decides to drive to Solo from Jakarta, and to stop by various local restaurants. A journey that begins as his way to find some answers about his late father, also becomes a journey that leads him to many questions about himself. Will Alvin find the answer he has been looking for? Will he get to overcome all his doubts before his wedding day?
