The world of absurdity that is built on myths (because it has not happened yet) is that during the doomsday phase, the population of women is more than men. Reflecting on the condition of women around with the world of marriage that has been experienced by them, is it if entering the doomsday phase, it is women who will marry men? Will partriarchy not occur under these conditions?
With all these conditions, the artist imagines how things she has never experienced (marriage) will happen in the “apocalypse” phase. Tales passed down through generations (grandmothers and mothers) to their children about marriage, through advice and traditional Sundanese wedding songs.
Imagining it all happening is packaged in a fictional-experimental short film involving all the players who are women with various marriage backgrounds and 1 man with long hair.
