BAWANG MERAH BAWANG PUTIH / SHALLOTS AND GARLIC (2022)

NARRATIVE

17 MINS

The title Bawang Merah Bawang Putih derives from an Indonesian folklore about two polar opposite sisters but that’s where the similarities start and end. In this body horror food film, Nur and Karina reunite for their grandparents' wedding anniversary. In the middle of numpeng (dinner ritual), Karina starts itching and blames Nur for putting garlic in her food.
