A Pair of Doves

1979 · 106 min

A quiet, earnest romance that slowly sours into a study of how success can hollow a person out.

Overview
Lana and Joko are childhood friends. Joko has moved away from his family and chooses to live on his own, even in poverty. Lana, on the other hand, is tired of living with her rich family. They both fall in love with each other. Joko tries to write songs and succeeds. He becomes a rich man but also very superficial. The thing that drove Lana away from her family has now become a part of her own life.
