Matta Cinema Production and Ruang Basbeth Bercerita have commenced filming on "My Own Last Supper," an anticipated Chinese-Indonesian family drama by director Ismail Basbeth. The production, which began its 15-day shoot on November 27, is set during the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival and JAFF Market.
The story follows Encek, a 76-year-old widower, as he brings his children together for a final meal. During this gathering, he intends to share concealed memoirs detailing love, loss, and deep-seated generational wounds before choosing the sea as his final resting place.
The film meticulously recreates four distinct time periods—1960, 1970, 1998, and 2017—through a realistic visual approach. The narrative examines the pursuit of identity and life within a Chinese-Indonesian family, confronting unresolved national trauma and historical violence through intensely personal accounts.
