So, 'Pria' from 2017 is this quiet exploration of a teenager's struggle in rural Indonesia, caught in a tug-of-war between traditional expectations and this Western ideal of freedom. The tone feels quite intimate and reflective, almost like you're peeling back layers of his world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the atmosphere—lots of natural sounds and scenic shots of rural life that ground the narrative.

What stands out is how it captures that feeling of being on the cusp of manhood, grappling with identity and societal roles.
