Bu Tejo Sowan Jakarta

Do you remember the short film "Tilik" from 2018? It was a big hit in Indonesia as it's been watched over 28 million times on social media.

Inspired by this success, Wahyu Agung Prasetyo decided to turn it into a series in 2023. And now, in 2024, director Andibachtiar Yusuf and writer Aaron Hart have brought us a sequel, this time as a full-length film focusing on the character Bu Tejo.

The movie, titled Bu Tejo Sowan Jakarta, (Mrs. Tejo Visits Jakarta) takes us into the complex world of marriage traditions in Indonesia. Bu Tejo finds herself at odds when her son, Teddy, plans to marry his Chinese girlfriend. This is despite Bu Tejo having encouraged Teddy to get married in the first place.

Teddy is determined to show his mother that his girlfriend is the right choice. He decides to bring Bu Tejo and their village neighbors to Jakarta to witness his sincere proposal. Their adventure to the bustling city of Jakarta begins, promising a blend of humor, drama, and cultural insights.
