Storyline:
From different islands, they created one world — but could love survive the tide?
Komang (2025) tells the tender and moving story of Ode, a humble young man from Buton, who meets and falls in love with Ade, a spirited migrant from Bali. Their connection is instant—a love that feels like poetry, with moments so pure they seem to exist outside time.
In the beginning, everything is perfect. Their cultures blend, their dreams align, and the world feels like it belongs to just the two of them.
But as the seasons shift, so too do the realities of life. Cultural differences, societal expectations, and the unspoken weight of their separate backgrounds begin to challenge their fairytale. What starts as a beautiful romance becomes a heartfelt examination of identity, belonging, and whether love can truly conquer all.
Komang is a visually rich and emotionally layered romance that celebrates the magic of connection—and the courage it takes to hold on when the world starts pulling you apart.
