| 2008 LVHIFF THE PHOTOGRAPH
Asian Showcase | U.S. PREMIERE
Twenty-five-year-old Sita makes a living as a prostitute in a karaoke bar, but not even this is enough to support her sick mother who is looking after her little girl in the country, nor does she have sufficient funds to pay off her debt to the brutal pimp Suroso. Desperation forces the young woman to find an uninviting but cheap bedsit in an attic room above a photography studio. Its owner, the taciturn, withdrawn aging photographer Johan, begins to form a part of her life – in quite a different way from the men she has known until now. Sita resolves to start afresh, and when she discovers that the sick photographer only has a few months to live, she decides to fulfill his last wishes.
