A gentle comedy of hopes and absences, Indonesian director Garin Nugroho's latest film is a touching meditation on the idea that everyday expressions of love form the true basis of religious spirit and community . . . Nugroho weaves their stories into the hopes and frustrations of other characters in the market -- a lovingly crafted studio set -- giving his realistic fairy tale a rich sense of lives interconnected, and a world where even the smallest gestures of affection can bring welcome grace. --Steve Mockus, San Francisco International Film Festival
Set in a sprawling slum of Jakarta, several interwoven stories are revealed through the eyes of three Jakarta children. OF LOVE AND EGGS blends humor with insight into complex social issues relating to family, faith and romantic love.
Ramadan, the month of fasting and prayer, is at an end, and everyone in the market is preparing for Lebaran, the Holidays. Most Indonesians travel to visit family for Lebaran, leaving their jobs in the cities to return their home villages. However, for the children of the marketplace, the holidays could be hardest: a carrier pigeon lands in a stationer's stall, ruining the greeting cards set out for display; a prayer rug disappears while the little girl sleeps; and the relationship between the boy and his brother grows tense. But during Lebaran, nothing is truly lost.
