The embassy had announced on July 4 a screening of the movie scheduled for July 12 at Het Nuthuis, as part of the Asia Carrousel Event in collaboration with the Dutch Foreign Ministry.
Mira Woldberg, head of the South and Southeast Asia division at the Dutch Foreign Ministry, said the film reflected the close people-to-people contact between both countries, as reported by Antara.
Directed by Endri Pelita, the film revolves around five Indonesian graduate students in the Netherlands who build a certain camaraderie during their two-years of studies. (liz/asw)
