Dawn breaks on the 17th of August, and Laksmi prepares for a celebration of the Indonesian independence day. As she embarks on her preparations, she experiences visitations by familiar faces from her past, reminding her of the folly of nostalgia in a post-colonial world.

"Body #319" is a 5-minute short film that follows the story of two characters, Charlie and Layman, as they come across an abandoned couch in the middle of the city. They begin to open up to each other about their deepest fears and insecurities. Charlie expresses her self-doubt about her ability to create something meaningful and her fear of not leaving a lasting legacy. Layman, on the other hand, has encountered a similar conundrum and has come to accept it as a fact of life.
