  However, Ayu willing to undergo the twists for the sake of his family and personal ambition to be famous dangdut singer. In the second part, titled Origin Not There movie The wind lifted the lives of the artists ketoprak. They live from one place to another by opening a small complex ketoprak performances. They sleep beneath the stage and decrepit shack that can be dismantled at any tide.
  Every time gig, they only get paid for quiet Rp2 thousand spectators. Even so, they still rely on life from the arts that began to be abandoned because of erosion of the television. Best to deal with poverty they experienced.
   While in the third section and directed by David Sumolang Nazyra C Noer entitled Ulfie Home Village. The film tells the story of a transsexual named Ulfie originated from Aceh. To survive, Ulfie salon opened in Jakarta. Zulfikar transvestite whose real name is HIV / Aids.

   Although the duration of 120 minutes, this movie did not make the audience bored.Nia option to make a documentary is not without reason. With a documentary, which appointed three story really true and not contrived. The plot allowed to flow without a script, no director. Through interviews of people who are in this story makes us delve further into their lives without a predictable ending.
   The final choice of the story in the documentary is indeed illustrates that women are made into the film was still struggling to realize his dreams until now. We are no longer surprised by the themes of gender, feminism has always lifted Nia Dinata.History of discrimination and the domestication of women are born as human civilization. As a woman activist, it's okay if the movie never stops Nia critique and resistance to patriarchal culture that tends to subordinated women.
