Description:

Cahaya is an award-winning short film directed by Jean Lee that tells the emotional story of Cahaya, a resilient ten-year-old trashpicker living in the impoverished slums of North Jakarta. Cahaya harbors a simple yet profound dream: to own her very own bicycle. Her life takes a magical turn when, during her daily search for recyclables, she stumbles upon an unexpected and fantastic find that miraculously grants her wish. However, her newfound joy is short-lived. The local children quickly notice her precious treasure, sparking jealousy among them. A ruthless neighborhood bully named Hasan corners Cahaya and cruelly steals the bike. Determined and refusing to back down, Cahaya vows to reclaim what is rightfully hers at all costs. She musters the courage to confront the bully at his own home. Upon her arrival, instead of a simple confrontation, Cahaya uncovers a shocking secret about Hasan that changes everything. This acclaimed short film has touched hearts at major international festivals, including the Berlin Film Festival.
