He has sold Susan to get some money to pay his debt. Susan decides to commit suicide by jumping from a highrise building. Dika, guy who is in love with Susan is confused as to why his love was rejected by Susan. Susan feels she’s not good enough to be Dika’s girl friend. She consideres herself as low and not worth of his love because she’s only a prostitute. Merpati and Rio, Susan’s friend, help Susan get out of her deep problems. We are still young and we have a long way to go. Our path won’t stop here.
