Toko Barang Mantan follows the story of Tristan (Reza), owner of a shop that sells the goods of former lovers. He runs the shop with his friends, Amel (Dea Panendra) and Rio (Iedil Putra), and together they find constant surprises in the shop as the items for sale reveal stories and memories.
One day, Tristan meets Laras (Marsha), his unrequited love, who comes to his shop to sell her engagement ring. From then on, Tristan’s world is never the same.
Director Viva Westi said the film’s storyline was relatable for most people. “[The film makes us] reminisce about our former loves and it can also be a reminder to let go of some people in our lives,” Viva said.
Toko Barang Mantan also features actors Roy Marten and Widi Mulia. (wir/wng)
