Synopsis
In 1998, a deep political and economic crisis forced president Suharto to resign after 32 years in power. This became a crucial event at the beginning of a tumultuous period, known in Indonesia as the “Reformasi”. In recent years, Indonesia, with its 200 million inhabitants, has witnessed political transformation along with protests, poverty, instability and a lack of security. The Eye of the Day, documents these conflicts through the lives of Rumijah, 60 year-old woman, her two sons Bakti and Dwi and her friend Ibu Sum.
