Aruna, a precise food journalist, travels across Indonesia to sample regional cuisines and record how flavor encodes memory, culture, and identity. As she moves from coast to city, she confronts personal loss and the limits of language, guided by a patient translator and a quest for the ultimate taste. Cinematography lingers on sizzling dishes, steam, and street stalls, weaving intimate character moments with vivid regional landscapes and a subtle romance.
