Erik Banana as Stakh Grafter

Renowned but boarish, hot headed and overbearing celebrity chef, Stewart Pott's life is thrown into turmoil when one of his on-air blow-ups results in the cancellation of his TV show and the a boycott of his restaurant.   Seeking time away from the spotlight, Stewart heads to the country to avoid the press, hiring a farm stay on an apple orchard. 

There he meets orchard owner Honey Crisp. Stewart's over the top and abrasive personality instantly grates with quiet and mild Honey.   

Honey is struggling to make ends meet with the orchard and  is feeling second thoughts about her upcoming marriage to workaholic, Stakh.   When Stakh leaves for the big city to close a business deal and a big storm causes a power cut and damages the farm stag cottage, Honey reluctantly let's Stewart stay in her main house, and offers him a slice of homemade apple pie.  The sweet pie melts the rough exterior of Stewart and he regaled her with stories.  The pair talk all night until the morning comes. Together they repair the damage from the storm and grow closer, doing chores and cooking together. 

Stakh returns from the city.  A blow up between Honey and Stakh sees the couple end their relationship, and Stakh leaves.  However, Stewart has received a call from his business manager and also leaves to return to his life.  Now, alone in the orchard, Honey busies herself making jams and chutneys and general work.

In a meeting with his business manager, Stewart realises that his brash and arrogant ways aren't what he wants  and he leaves the meeting to return to Honey.

Returning to the orchard, the pair embrace and kiss, living romantically ever after.

"God, Bring him home. To me. To us. Amin."

Based off a real story told in a public meeting of the North Alezian Intelligence Forces in 2011, "Amin" tells a story of a secret agent of the Alezian Intelligence Forces named Amin Hisaqqaruddin, who's known for his bravery and valour in the team, but also for his strong sense of justice for his family. One day, he got to face a mission that might put his life in stake, but he didn't tell even his wife and two kids. But God knows how to tell a secret to someone, even the most hidden ones.

In the mission, Amin fell down from the bridge located between the Old Metropolitan Zafizamarrah and Government Way, lost in the river that separated the city. The forces thought he was dead, but actually, Amin was not dead. He woke up far away from the city, but not too far away since he can still see the skyscrapers of the Metropolis. However, he lost his memory, and forgets almost everything that he know, including his family. He started to look for answers, slowly yet surely.

After Amin was declared dead, two agents arrived at the family house to announce the "death" of Amin. Minahaminna (shortened to Mina) was devastated, and in denial started to search for her husband, even if it would resulted in her meeting the same fate, to the dissapproval of her teenager son with the name of Nazarim, who tried to talk his mother out of it, telling the mother that it's already God's decision and it cannot be overruled, but she wouldn't listen.

As his wife continued her searching and praying without any result for two weeks and Nazarim not being able to focus in school thinking that his dad won't do anything that reckless, Amin slowly relearned of his past and present and what he wanted for the future, thanks to someone putting him back in his place using a drinking glass (a small appearance by Andi Robi Idris Novogrody) in a cafe. Perceived dead, Amin tried to tell his workplace and his family that he is not yet dead. He remembered his previous house address in old city of Zafizamarrah. When he peeked through the window, he realized that his wife who still thought he was dead tried to forget him forever, emptying Amin's belongings and pictures, added with preparing a paper to separate her and her son from Amin.

Amin tried to stop Mina from doing such things, but his keys are not in his black jackets, he tried finding for a key, but he can't. Thus he has no choice but to barge into the house, and present himself in front of Mina. However, even with his appearance, Mina was still scared and called the Intelligence Force and Police to come into her house and arrest this person. Before Amin was brought into jail, Nazarim quickly interrupted and proved that this person is really Amin by showing everyone in the house of Amin's scar on his left forehead which Nazarim pointed out was unique as it was never found in any other person. Nazarim also proved Amin's identity with showing Amin's habits of moving his left hand uncontrollably when he's on a situation of panic. Everyone trusted the son and Amin was forgiven, and the family was reunited.

After that, a few years later, Amin, now not perceived dead anymore did a speech in front of the Alezian Intelligence Forces on the basis of trust and care for families who met the same fate, or worse fate as his. After that, Amin and Mina saw Nazarim still with his Senior High School Graduation Clothes on, coming to them for a great family hug.

Ali is a silent, sensitive young man from a middle-class family who has just graduated high school. While preparing for the upcoming college entrance examination, he mostly spends his days either by studying or hanging out with his close friend and crush from high school, Dinda. During one of their hang outs, Dinda reveals to him that she is dating a former classmate of theirs. Heartbroken, Ali cheerfully congratulates her despite feeling miserable inside.

His calm home life takes a turn when his working mother Nur suddenly accuses her husband, stay-at-home father Awang, for cheating. Nur, who has been frustated by the difficult financial situation her office is currently in and her husband's apparent disregard for the money she got by spending it on merchs, is "divinely inspired" to check on her husband's phone and found that he has been in constant communication with another woman. They begin to fight daily, until one day Nur expresses her wish for a divorce.

Ali, who still feels heartbroken after Dinda's revelation, began to isolate himself from his family, claiming that he needs to prepare for the examination. Deep down, however, Ali is still unable to believe that his caring, loving father might cheat, and can't help but think that maybe this is a misunderstanding on his mother's part, since Ali knows about the stress his mother has from her office condition as she frequently talks about it with him. With that in mind, Ali begins to think if it's better for him to investigate the matter alone in order to gain better understanding of the conflict. However, he then remembers that the examination is just a couple of weeks away and there are some materials that he needs to work on. Soon, Ali is conflicted between investigating it and focusing on his study. Deep down, Ali is also afraid that if he choose to investigate, it might involve him in the problem and as result, might worsen the situation between his mother and father.

In his confusion, Ali is thinking about asking for Dinda's opinion about the problem, hoping that since she comes from a broken home family, she would likely have better understanding from her experience and might gives him pointer about what he should do with the situation. However, he suddenly remembers that she is dating another person, thus makes him stopping short from asking her as he is afraid of disturbing his friend's budding relationship. His doubts about his mother, however, is gone once he accidentally overhears one of his parents' fights, where his father confirms that he is indeed, has a feeling for another woman, but insists that he doesn't want their marriage to be over. Overwhelmed with the revelation and the blooming feeling of betrayal in his mind, Ali watches helplessly as their parents continue to scream at each other, before finally his mother stomps out from the house to drive somewhere else. That night, when his mother still have yet to come back and isn't answering his calls, Ali decides to go out and look for her only to find his mother sitting alone in a park not far from their house, crying. Nur says that she wants to die, though Ali warns her to not do anything stupid before driving both of them home.

After that, with the situation at home keeps deteriorating and his mother often makes excuses to go home from work late, Ali begins to feel exhausted. He already doesn't get many sleep with his parents' fighting through the night, and he also begins to feel anxious about his chance of getting accepted into the university, especially since the stress begin to affect his study. The night before the examination, Nur comes to his room and asks Ali if it's okay for him to live without his father. As his stress level peaked, the memory of his mother saying that she wanted to die starts to reverberate in his mind, shaking him up. Overcame with emotion, Ali screams at his mother to leave him alone. Shocked, Nur silently leaves the room while Awang, who hears the scream comes to his son's room and scolds Ali for yelling at his mother, reminding him that Nur is having a hard time right now. Feeling extremely guilty, and still pissed at his father, Ali tunes his father out by daydreaming. Before he walks out from Ali's room, Awang stops at the doorway and apologizes to Ali for everything, saying that he will always love him no matter what happens.

The next day, Nur drives Ali to the examination place, a campus where Ali used to win a photography competition. As Nur remarks on this, Ali was reminded of their exchange the night before. Looking down, he apologizes to his mother, saying that he is not ready to deal with his mother's question the previous night and to please give him time to think about it after the examination is done. Smiling tearfully, Nur parks her car at the nearby parking lot and says that she has always forgives him, and that she is also sorry for all the time she and his father might have intrude his studying by their fighting. Ali says that it doesn't really matter before asking his mother to pray so he might pass the exam, and then walks out from the car to enter the building. As he looks for his examination room, he passed by Dinda, who is sitting alone by herself in front of her room. Dinda cheerfully asked him how he is doing, before grimaces as she gets a good look at his expression and stating with worry that he doesn't look okay. Smiling tiredly, Ali begins to have flashbacks about everything that happened to him before and sighing, saying that it has been an eventful month. Dinda then stands up from the bench and turns to stand beside him, saying that although she has a boyfriend now, she will always be available if he needs to talk about his problems, especially since for a long time of their friendship, she recognizes Ali as somebody who tends to bury their problem deep and thus needs coaxing to open themselves up to the others. Ali, who starts to get overwhelmed with emotion from hearing his friend's words, tears up before smiling at her, thanking Dinda for offering her time and promises to tell her everything after their examination is over, before he went back to walk into his room, that is located nearby. From behind his back, Dinda smiles and says that she will be waiting and for Ali to do his best.

During the exam, as Ali began to stumble upon the questions on the paper, he is reminded of everything that happened to him before, and of his parents' and Dinda's words. Ali smiles and mutters that he has survived the whole ordeal and he won't let some questions prevent him from passing the important examination in his life right now, as he has promised to do his best. Ali then writes his answers and once the time is up, stands to turn his paper in and leave, never looking back into the room.

The scene then turns to a family court. Nur and Awang has filed for a divorce, and the judge makes their separation permanent after a proceeding. The judge then asked which parent Ali chooses to live with. Ali states that he has made a decision, but asks that the judge tell his parents to wait outside before he tells him. His decision is left unresolved.

Cast:
Ihsan Harahap as Biru
Sarah Nugraha as Mrs. Gemilang
Kirana Dewi Rahman as Reno

---

Biru is a worker at a local flower shop across the street from his apartment. He is shown to be a good friend with the shop's owner Reno, who lives in the same building upstairs. One day, when Biru is tending to a potted plant at the shop, an elderly lady arrives. He sees Reno greets her with a sympathetic expression, apologizes for a certain incident, and gave her a bouquet of white lily.

Biru, who recognizes the old lady as Mrs. Gemilang, his quiet next door neighbour, is interested in the exchange. After the old lady leaves, he went to Reno and stated that how it's like a ritual for the both of them, indicating that the exchange happens frequently. Reno just nodded solemnly, before quietly wondered that it's been long after "it" happened. As Biru asked what she means by "it", Reno quickly shook her head and told Biru that since he has helped her to open the shop from dawn, he is allowed to go home early. Biru protested, but Reno shooed him by telling him that she is feeling generous today.

As Biru parked his bike in his favourite park near the town's limit to spend the spare time before night comes, he sees Mrs. Gemilang walked into the nearby graveyard, bringing the bouquet of white lily that she bought from their shop. Biru, who is still curious in the earlier interaction between his boss and his neighbour, discreetly follows her until she stops in front of a carefully-maintained looking grave, and went to hide behind a nearby tree. Biru grew horrified once he overhears her talks to her son, who apparently died by suicide years ago. As the young man turned to leave now that he feels he has really overstepped the boundaries by overhearing what obviously means to be private, he accidentally stepped on a fallen branch, which creaks loudly, alerting his presence to the mourning woman nearby. Caught red-handed that he is stalking her, Biru becomes severely flustered and apologizes profusely for his deed, stating that his action is unacceptable and that he only follows her since he is always left confused at the routine between her and his boss, Reno.

The tearful old woman, who is just surprised at his presence, laughs quietly and motions for him to sit beside her in front of the grave. As Biru did so, Mrs. Gemilang smiles softly and said that his action reminds her of her late son Aris, who always has large curiosity during his lifetime. She told him that Reno is his son's former classmate. While she is never involved in the severe bullying that apparently is the reason why Aris took his own life, Reno seems to feel guilty eversince because she didn't stand up for her son, and as such, always apologizes to her for the incident whenever the old woman went to her shop to buy flowers, eventhough Mrs. Gemilang herself never blames her for what happened. After she finished recounting the story, Biru holds her right hand and said that he is sorry for the incident, and that Aris must be a wonderful son. As they smiled at each other, the camera pans up to show that the sun starts to set in the horizon.
