    • Synopsis
    • People often view beauty in different ways. Some admire beauty and others despise or associate it with negative things.
      This is the story of ASIH, who comes to a Jakarta suburb called Pulo Bantal. Her beautiful face and sexy body have won the hearts of every male in the suburb. Her voice and good looks have led her to join a band led by Dodi. Her behavior onstage or offstage often angers the wives in the community because their husbands have become so enamored with Asih. This particularly felt by Yuli, Dodi’s wife, who is also the Band’s singer. She feels that her position in the band as well as her marriage is threatened. Jealousy amongs the wives toward Asih felt by two teenagers Fadli and Radja, and each try to protect Asih in their own way.
      Gossip begin to spread that Asih is a widow. There are personal things that often Asih still keep to herself so people speculate about her identity, especially because she seems to be alone with no husband. The situation gets out of control when those who are envious of Asih try to cast her out of Pulo Bantal. This tragic drama is presented as satirical comedy through the eyes, words, feelings and hormones of two teen best friends, Radja and Fadli who are still experiencing puberty.
