["King of Hearts" by Sophie Ray playing]

♪ You chose the game
But you won't be winning ♪

♪ 'Cause I came to play with your heart… ♪

[cheering]

[laughing]

-See you later.
-All right, see you.

[man] My offer to you still stands.
When you and Saski tied the knot,

I insisted that you all wear
my designs, okay?

-Of course.
-Okay. Mmm.

"Okay" what, guys?

-Hey!
-[laughs]

Sweetheart.

Congratulations, Hendry.
I'll be reviewing it in my blog.

You better. I'll be waiting, okay?
Someone wants to go.

[chuckles] Honey, I think I should go now.

-[Saski] Oh, okay.
-You coming?

-I'll catch up with you.
-Okay. Sure, it's okay.

But please don't be late.
It's a big event.

Okay.

Those shoes, will you wear them?

-[Saski] Got another pair. Don't worry.
-Okay. Bye, honey.

-Hendry.
-Yeah.

-See you.
-See you.

Ooh!

There's no denying it,
you two were made for each other.

Mmm! I'm so happy for you.

Now it's not just your super fabulous blog
about gringsing fabric

that's going to inspire everyone.

Honestly, your relationship is a real-life
Cinderella story in its own right.

Ooh! People will love that.

-Hi.
-[Hendry] Oh, hi! Mmm.

I should get going. Let's go.

-Right now? Yeah, go. Uh-huh.
-Sure.

Oh, please. Don't leave just yet, sweetie.

Mrs. Hadra. Ooh.

From the look on your face, I can tell
you want to have a word with Saski, huh?

Absolutely.

Sas, Mrs. Hadra doesn't read fortunes
for just anyone.

So consider this an honor.

You can do that?

-[Hendry] Mm-hmm.
-[Hadra chuckles]

-Yours too?
-Your fortune?

Gringsing fabrics repel bad energy.

This woven fabric has now…

passed on its aura and brilliance
right into that body of yours.

And now your body has been renewed.

And you're ready to now start anew.

Now pick a card, dear.

Show us.

Okay.

[magical music playing]

The Princess of Clogs and Dry Leaves.

Now close your eyes
and cover them both with this leaf.

Your eyes will be opened

when you're done with three rotations.

You will find a new path to travel on.

You're her close friend.

It's you who will keep her on her path.

Uh, sure.

[Hadra] So read this spell…

while she's on her journey.

[gentle pop music playing]

Yeah, honey. I'll go over there
as soon as I can.

I just need to buy some accessories.

-"Close your eyes."
-Okay. Bye, hon.

"Spin around."

"Now open your eyes."

"Spinning circle."

"Following the Earth's orbit."

-Hey!
-Ow!

Will you forget about that please?

Do you think life's like some movie

with a silly prophecy at the start that's
meant to be fulfilled no matter what?

Don't be like that.
You're such a pessimist, really.

Hey, cut that out! Just help me pick out
something to wear already.

Would you relax?
When have I ever let you down?

I'm sure we'll find you something.

Hey, look. Tell you what.
Why don't you try doing this?

Just spin yourself around three times

-and close your eyes while you do that.
-No thanks.

And then, once you're done
spinning around three times,

you can open your eyes.

[sighs] Don't be ridiculous.
I don't believe in any of that nonsense.

What do you mean? Hey, listen to me.

Your mother reads lontar scripture.

Your father is a famous lontar inscriber.

How can you not believe in this stuff?

I'm your friend
and I'll help keep you on the right path.

Don't be stubborn.

Just do it!

There. That wasn't so hard, now, was it?

[sighs]

"Spinning, spinning."

"Turning around."

"Open your heart's door."

"Spinning circle."

"Follow where your feet lead you."

[magical music playing]

There!

This is where you're supposed
to buy your new shoes.

Come. Come on!

[gentle music playing]

[gasps]

Gosh.

[man] Sorry, we're still closed
for renovations.

Sir, come on. Give us a break.

Besides, you can't turn us away, because
we were led over here by fate itself.

And if you dare stand in the way of fate,
you'll have bad luck.

[man] Come back another time.

But my friend's in a hurry.
She has to go to a party.

Well, I'm in a hurry too.
I told you. I'm renovating.

Sir, please don't worry about it.
I'll be done picking a pair in no time.

Just do your thing.

You hear that? Go, do your thing.
We won't bother you.

We can manage. We're your first customers.

-Andra.
-Huh?

Cute, right?

Yeah, it is! It's cute.

So cute.

That doesn't suit you, miss.

And why not?

There's a saying. You may have heard it.

You can tell what a person's like
by their shoes.

Have a seat. I'll pick a pair.

Okay.

In my opinion, this is more your style.

It matches your personality.

Stop.

Sorry.

Let me help you wear them.

Uh…

[man] You like them?

I do.

[phone ringing]

Uh, I guess I'll take them.
Ring them up quickly.

[ringing continues]

[ringing continues]

Ah, thank you.

-Sure. You're welcome.
-Thank you so much.

[ringing continues]

-Sas.
-Huh?

I'll go to Café Kebun now.

[ringing stops]

Work stuff. Bye.

-Dra, take care.
-You too.

[gasps]

Sir? Sir, excuse me.
We need to go back. Quick.

-Go back where exactly?
-Back to where you picked me up obviously.

Why do you even have to ask?
Just hurry up.

That's not helping me.

If you want me to go back and do it fast,
I'm gonna need the address.

[engine revving]

[whimpers] Hey, slow down!

-Sir, please be careful!
-[tires screeching]

[gasps]

Please, please, slow down!

Wait! Please!

[gasps]

First, you tell me to hurry up.
And now you say slow down.

What's wrong with you? Make up your mind.

[pop music playing on speakers]

[line ringing]

-What's taking you so long, Saski?
-[Saski] I'm on my way now.

-Huh?
-I swear, honey.

-I'm coming. I'll be there soon.
-Look, I told you my dad

and all the people that
we do business with are expecting you.

-I'll be there soon.
-We can't start because you're late.

-Listen, I was…
-Are you coming right now or not?

Yeah, just give me a minute.
I'm on my way there.

Hey, son.

Hang on. Let me look at you.

Let's hope things go smoothly today.

So that way, all of your problems
will be sorted out.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Come on. You know how much
your dad hates tardiness, right?

[crashes]

Oh, my goodness!

[whimsical music playing]

How could you just leave all this mess
at the entrance to your store?

[crying] What am I supposed to do now?

And where's the bathroom? Which way?

Oh! Oh! Oh, no…

Which way?

[faucets squeaking]

Come on! Where's the water?

Oh, for crying out loud,
I need some water right now!

Quick, my eyes are killing me!

I'll get you some water.
Sorry, this sink doesn't work.

[Saski whimpers]

One second.

Close your eyes, just calm down.

What do you mean calm down?

I'm here because you gave me
the wrong shoes.

And now I'm late
for my boyfriend's birthday party,

all thanks to you.

And what am I supposed to wear?

Huh? What about my hair?
Say something. Answer me!

[phone ringing]

[ringing continues]

[ringing continues]

Why isn't my phone responding? [screams]

Why aren't you here yet, Saski?

Saski!

Here.

You can wear my shirt. It's clean.
Or you can wear this. Here, let me…

-Damn it!
-[phone clatters]

[groans]

What's going on here?
Why did you throw your phone?

Where's Saski? Hmm?

Deni, you need to be more mature.

Hmm?

So, whatever is going on
between you and Saski,

you'll still face our guests
like nothing's wrong.

I'm sure you know

that this bathroom
doesn't have a door, right?

How about you leave me alone?

Go on.

[gamelan music playing]

[gamelan music continues]

[music ends]

[cheering and applause]

Happy birthday
to I Gusti Agung Deni Wijaya,

who turns 27 today.

And tonight, we're also gathered here
to celebrate the grand opening

of the five-star hotel, Agung Wijaya.

[dance music playing on speakers]

Happy birthday!

I think there are a few things

that we still need to have
a serious discussion about.

-Come on, man. Let's get some drinks.
-Here comes my son.

-Deni…
-Dad.

Let's go home.

-Please excuse us.
-Yes, of course.

[sighs]

Hi.

Happy birthday, hon.

Whose shirt is that?

Whose is it?

It's a long story.
I had some really bad luck.

And who was that guy?

-Sorry.
-I heard every word he said to you now.

I heard everything on this!

Now tell me who he is and what's going on.

Go on.

I went shopping just now
and this guy sold me a pair of shoes.

I checked the box on the way here.
It was wrong.

-So I had to go back to the store--
-Stop lying to me!

-But I'm not!
-I said stop!

Tell me what's going on with that guy!
What have you two done?

-Tell me!
-Deni, please. Not here.

-I can explain if you would just listen--
-Shut up! You witch!

[music continues]

Turn that off, you witch!

[music stops]

What?

[bittersweet music playing]

Saski! Hey, come back here, Saski!

-Hey.
-Sir?

Get my shoe. Move it!

[bouncy music playing]

[shouts]

[body thuds]

Hey, miss, if you're worried
he's not breathing,

you'll have to give him mouth-to-mouth.

Hey, give him CPR, breathe into his mouth.

I'm sure they taught you how to give CPR
when you were a Girl Scout back in school.

It's just a little mouth-to-mouth.

We'll both be in trouble
if he dies for real.

Relax, you won't be doing anything wrong.
It'll be just like a fairy tale.

Your lips will touch his
and he'll turn into a prince,

then he'll take you to his castle.

And you'll live happily ever after.
You know how it goes, right?

Look, just do it.
I can't have him dying in here.

I've got stuff to do. Go ahead.

I still have another passenger after this.

[gentle music playing]

EMERGENCY ROOM

You see?

If I hadn't listened to you,
this wouldn't have happened.

This guy has brought nothing but bad luck.

My engagement might be over thanks to you.

Wait, now it's my fault?

So if your wedding is canceled,
would it be so wrong?

Sas, none of us can know for sure

which path fate is meant
to lead us towards.

You know how things are.

My mother is sick and Deni's family
has been helping us out.

So what if they are help--

[person] Shh!

[softly] So what if they are?

Will you give up your life to pay them
because they expect you to?

Well, who else is supposed to--

[groans softly]

-Could you do me a favor?
-Hmm?

I think… I forgot to lock the door.

The key's in the drawer
under the register.

Could either of you do it?

[hisses]

-She'll do it.
-What? Mmm?

[upbeat music playing]

[Andra] Hey, dude.

Hey, thank you
for locking up for me last night.

-Dude, don't worry about it.
-[chuckles]

Besides, she did that.
You should thank her.

-Say hi.
-Oh, okay.

-Feeling better?
-Yeah, thanks.

Don't make it too low.
It has to be perfect. There.

[photographer]
Okay. A full body shot this time.

One, two, three. There you go. One more.

And one, two, three. Very good.

-Wait. I'll go get her, okay?
-[photographer] One, two, three. Good.

-Ready? And one, two, three.
-Sas?

[photographer] Good. Look at the camera.

One, two, three. That's great.

Again, one, two, three. Great.

Look right at the camera.
And one, two, three. Great!

-Hi.
-[man] Hi.

-Ah, you're…
-I'm Rio.

-Saski.
-[both chuckle]

I wanted to thank you
for closing up last night.

Mm-hmm.

And also for what you did in the cab.

The cab? [gasps]

So you… you weren't unconscious?

I was. But then what you did
actually helped me come to.

Imagine if you hadn't.
I'd still be knocked out.

[both laughing]

You know, the driver said to do it.
It was his idea.

-So I did it.
-Well, better your lips than his.

If he had done that to me himself,
I probably would've died.

[both laughing]

Uh…

Sorry, do you want to see
what we have so far?

Oh, yeah, sure.

-Ah, let's sit down over there.
-Okay.

-Just a sec.
-Okay.

What do you think of the photos?
Good, bad? Anything you want to point out?

Yeah. I already mentioned this to Endy.

I don't like these shots, the ones
from now where Hillary's hair was down.

I like it better up.
It's a better look for her.

-Okay.
-These are okay.

-Okay, thank you.
-Thank you.

Busy day?

Uh… [laughs]

Hey, look. I'm sorry.

-For what?
-For yesterday.

I can explain what happened to Deni
if you want me to.

-Your fiancé?
-Yeah.

But it's… [chuckles]

…not necessary.

You don't have to,
especially not that thing in the cab.

I just don't understand.

I don't get why
all this is happening to me.

They say people who have bad luck
are surely in need of a breath that's new.

-A breath that's new?
-To purify them.

-So a cleansing ritual?
-Yeah.

-I need one?
-Mm-hmm.

Don't you think you need it more?

If you hadn't given me the wrong shoes
in the first place,

none of this would have happened.

[sighs] Gosh.

Why do things have to be so complicated?

You wouldn't understand, so don't tell me
I need to be cleansed, okay?

[phone ringing]

MOTHER

Yeah, Mom?

Sas, Pedanda has just told me
your fortune.

He'll do a cleansing tomorrow.

Tomorrow? A cleansing ritual?

Yes, that's right, dear.
The priest is ready.

Okay, Mom.

[Rio] I can go with you.

There's no need.

And I probably won't go.

-I'm only free in the morning.
-10:00 tomorrow.

I'll meet you here.

[gentle music playing]

One cappuccino, please.

[man] With a heart that is pure and clean,

from now on, you will be able
to see with more clarity.

With this blessing,
you have been cleansed.

So be it.

Give thanks.

My usual order. One please.

-You got it. Coming right up.
-Thanks.

-Rio?
-Hmm?

Are you here by yourself?

-Sir?
-Hey. There you are.

-Sorry for the interruption.
-Don't worry.

-[Saski] Where were we?
-I think we have an excellent concept.

-[phone chimes]
-Mm-hmm. Sir, excuse me.

-Oh, yeah. Go ahead. No problem.
-Thank you.

RIO IS AT THE CAFÉ,
HE'S BEEN WAITING ALL DAY…

-Go on.
-Let me show you.

The concept we have here…

How was the ritual?

It went well?

Mm-hmm.

[Saski] I'm sorry.

[delicate music playing]

It was quite a long wait.

I finished two dishes
and three cups of coffee.

One favor and you're forgiven.

What favor?

I missed an appointment
because I was here.

I was supposed to meet my craftsmen
to pick up some shoes.

I'm going to do that tomorrow.

And you're coming too.

-Um…
-10:00, okay? I'll pick you up here.

Dad used to do this too.

I've always wanted to surf more often.

But my sense of balance isn't that good.

-I'd always fell.
-[chuckles]

You know, when I would fall,
Dad would always tell me:

"If you never fall, you would never know
how to pick yourself back up."

[chuckles]

[Rio] Well, my dad would
take me to the beach a lot,

just to see the surfers.

He never said that I should surf.

But he did say:

"In our lives,
big waves will come for sure.

"We can't stop them."

"And that's why we have to learn
how to ride those waves…

to see the beauty of life."

You're staring at me. Don't.

Who's staring at you?

You might fall in love.

[playing traditional music]

I want to thank all of you
for being here on this special day.

You've made me happy.

Saski was this store's
very first customer.

And she was the one who helped
spread the word to more people.

A fortune teller led her here.

So I think it's only appropriate
that I ask her to inaugurate this store.

Ooh.

Sas, go on.

Yes, go ahead. Yes, it's all right.
Please go on.

[inaudible]

[upbeat music playing]

Please, come in.

-[man] Congratulations.
-Thank you for coming. Appreciate it.

-[woman] Hi, thanks for coming!
-Glad to be here.

-Hi, thanks for coming.
-Congratulations.

We've got lots more there.
And there are more upstairs.

[man] All right, thanks. Congratulations.

[woman] Thank you so much for coming!

-I'm taking you home.
-I can get home on my own.

-Deni!
-Your father told me to pick you up.

I can get home by myself!

Hey, hey, get your hands off Saski!

I asked her to come. Don't hurt her.

Hey, ma'am, over there. Look!

Deni! Stop! Deni!

-Please!
-[grunts]

-Deni! Deni, stop!
-Stop! Stop!

-Hold him.
-Hey! Deni!

That's enough!

-Enough, back off!
-Take him away!

Deni!

-Just go please!
-Who are you people?

We're sorry, ma'am.

Come on!

[somber music playing]

Hey, where's Deni?
I thought he was going to bring you home.

[sighs]

He did, Mom.
He said to tell you he says hi.

He was just here last night to apologize.

He said he was sorry
for yelling at you in front of his guests.

He swears that he'll change.

Deni is a good man. He's right for you.

His family will take
good care of you, sweetheart.

-[groans]
-Mom? Mom?

Remember what the doctor said.

You should avoid any stress.

It's not good for you, so calm down.

Okay, Mom?

Sas, could you help me?

Her medicine.

Okay, dear, take a few deep breaths.

-Hang on.
-It'll help you feel much better.

You shouldn't worry too much.

Saski's a big girl.

She knows what she's doing.
She'll make the right choice.

[traditional chanting]

[poignant music soaring]

-[phone chimes]
-[Andra] Sas. Will this take long?

No, it won't. Just a minute. Wait, okay?

[gentle, romantic music playing]

HONESTLY, I FEEL COMFORTABLE
WHEN I'M WITH YOU

THANK YOU, I'M SORRY
FOR YOUR STORE'S OPENING

Oh.

[inhales] Hmm.

They're so different.
Deni is not like Rio.

Mm-hmm. He's not.

You know, Sas, if I were
in your shoes right now,

I would probably choose
the person who suits me the best.

A perfect fit.

The problem is, Andra,
it's not really my choice to make.

Hey, not true.

Every person in the world
has the right to make their own choices.

So stop talking like you don't have
a choice in what happens to your life.

Don't get all worked up, Andra.
Here, I'll try to explain it to you.

Say I choose this. I can always
accessorize it to suit me better.

Rio.

Tomorrow, my good friend Clara
will check out your store

with her daughter Tiara, okay?

Why all of a sudden?

Here's the thing.
I just got off the phone with Clara now,

just as I was thinking
about who you'd marry.

I mean, a wife could help you
take good care of your store, right?

The same way I used to help your father
when he was still with us.

Rio.

When he was alive,
your dad was fond of Tiara's parents.

You know, they helped us out a lot before.

And right now,
I know you're looking for some investors

who could help expand
the business with you, right?

And now they show up.

Rio.

Tomorrow, they'll come to the store.
You'll show them around, okay?

Promise me, son.

You know, I've seen pictures
of you as a kid.

My father showed them to me.

I like this.

This one won't fit you, Tiara.

Please, sit. I'll pick a pair.

Allow me.

My whole life I've never met a man

who's been able to guess my shoe size
perfectly like you have.

And to have slipped them on my feet.

[Clara] Didn't I tell you so,
when those two were still little kids,

put both their pictures
side by side, voilà!

-You were right.
-Yeah.

You know,
Tiara has been interested for so long

in exporting high-quality shoes
to other countries.

But she's never found someone
to do it with.

[doorbell jingling]

Here, I'm returning your shirt.

You should just keep it. I don't mind.

Well, see, you might not mind,

but for me, this shirt hasn't exactly
brought me the best of luck.

I am getting married.

So holding onto your shirt,
might not really be the best idea.

Congratulations.

All right, I'll just keep it at the store.

-Maybe for some other troubled girl.
-Hmm?

-I mean, someone in need.
-Ah.

Well, I'm sure there will be quite a lot,
especially if you make an announcement.

Pretty girls will line up outside
to have their feet adorned by your shoes.

You'll lend them some clothes.

They'll love it coming from someone
as charming as you.

-Right?
-[both chuckling]

You know, I should go home now.

My mom is sick.
I can't leave her alone for too long, so…

-I'll drive you.
-No, it's fine. I can take a cab.

It's okay. I'm free right now.
I owe you a favor.

-[Andra] Thank you.
-You've helped me so much with the store.

-Oh…
-Hey. Don't forget.

We need some coffee outside, okay?

Ah, fine then.

Andra will join us.
The three of us will go.

Hey, what are you talking about?
Why do I have to come?

She'll chaperone so you'll be sure
I behave myself around the bride-to-be.

So your fiancé won't get suspicious

and get all worked up and send
any more of his men to beat me up.

[Andra] Mmm.

-[door opens]
-[doorbell jingling]

[chuckles]

They can break my bones,
but they can't break my heart.

Hey, what are you looking at? Hmm?

That creature picked a beautiful spot.

On your neck.

Don't scare me like that!
Get it off, will you?

[Rio] Mmm.

A ladybug.

-[sighs]
-[chuckles]

Did you know that ladybugs
are said to bring patience,

so that you can face any kind of problem?

And that's not all.

Hey, please stop making stuff up
to woo me.

I'm not making it up.

You do have a beautiful neck.

The ladybug knows it.

Old folks believe that

if by any chance a ladybug lands
on your hand like this…

you should look at it

and count the number of black dots it has,
and that's the number of kids you'll have.

Really?

Mm-hmm. Count them. Go on.

That's one and two, three, four and…

-That's five.
-[gasps] What?

We'll have five kids?

[sighs, clicks tongue]

It's too bad.

I don't have a golden umbrella

for the most beautiful princess there is
in all of Bali.

Princesses don't need gold umbrellas.

And that's because their beauty
comes alive with nature's blessings.

[thunder rumbles]

So for you…

is this a fairy tale…

or reality?

[romantic music soaring]

[Saski] Mom.

-Mom, I'd like you to meet Rio, my friend.
-Hello, ma'am.

He's a really talented shoe designer.

Stop. Ma'am, I've heard
such good things about you.

-Thank you.
-How well-versed you are in lontar.

I'm really glad to know your daughter.
You must be so proud.

Thank you so much, Rio,
for bringing Saski home safely.

But tell me, how come the two of you
are soaking wet?

Go get changed before you catch a cold.

-Saski, get him a drink.
-Yes, Mom.

-Go inside.
-All right.

Don't try your tricks on my mom.
They won't work.

She's practically a lontar scholar.

And those scriptures are all about life,
so she can see right through you.

I would love it if your mother
saw into my heart and soul.

I don't need to use tricks.

[chuckles]

So what's in your heart?

Be honest. Okay?

I have a feeling
that it's more than shoes.

Knowledge without common sense
is like having shoes without feet.

Common sense is no use
if you don't listen to your heart too.

So your feet should go
where your heart takes you,

or your heart's useless,
then what's the point of even having one?

[gentle music playing]

Oh.

Don't discuss sayings in front of Dad.

-Rio, my dad. A lontar inscriber.
-Hi, sir.

-[Saski] Right, Dad?
-[laughs] I was just kidding, sir. Sorry.

Don't give him a hard time.

Saski has been that way since she
was little. She always has to be right.

-Sit down, everyone.
-Yes, sir.

Saski, make some room.

Their clothes are still wet
from being out all day.

We should let them
get changed first, okay?

-Come. Come in.
-All right.

-Ma'am.
-Yeah?

I wanted to ask you.
What can I do to make you like me?

-[chuckles]
-I don't know.

Why don't you two help me
in the kitchen, huh?

Well, if you happen to have
some banana stems and banana flowers,

I'll make you the best Jukut Ares in town.

But if you want something
without coconut milk,

I make a mean banana stir-fry.

-Rio.
-Yeah?

Stop trying so hard to impress
my mom and dad, will you?

-Because you're making me nervous.
-[chuckles] Did you know--

Just stop trying to charm
and sweet talk your way

into both of my parents' hearts, okay?

As someone whose days
are filled with shoes,

my heart is always a step ahead.

-I'll help your mom.
-No. Rio!

Dad.

Saski.

Listen, we have to go
to the chief's house tomorrow.

Don't forget to bring
your birth certificate.

Because there's more
that we still have to read,

especially after the cleansing ritual
you had done. Okay?

All right, Dad.

[mother] Tell me, Rio,
do you really enjoy cooking?

Yes. I always help my mom when she cooks.

Oh, so you spend a lot of time

-in the kitchen with her?
-Yeah.

[mother] That's really nice to hear,
a son helping in the kitchen.

What do you like to cook?

[Rio] Anything with banana flowers.
[laughs]

A boy in the kitchen, that's unusual.

-I'm the only one.
-[both chuckle]

So you do this with your mom?
I doubt that.

Maybe you doubt it
because you don't do it.

Hey, you better watch what you say to me.

[Tiara] I'm happy with our product line.

But we have a lot of foreign clients
who are asking for shoes.

And, unfortunately,
we don't have enough local shoemakers.

[man] T.

Here's the report you wanted.

We're 20% off target.

-Okay, shift production to Vietnam.
-Are you sure?

They work harder.
They're more disciplined.

Galih, the Group C workers,
I want them out of here.

Fire them all.

Don't forget tomorrow
we have a big meeting.

-Okay.
-Okay.

Thank you.

Hi, yes. Hello, Dan. How are you?

Don't worry, all of our products
are sourced from Korea and Japan.

We have to be ruthless,

especially with those workers
who are less productive.

If our company does well,

we'll save thousands
of employees and their families.

[man] You can't do this! We have rights!

Give us our jobs back!

But if we don't make examples
of employees who slack off,

the company suffers
and even more people will be out of jobs.

Sir, stop. Stop the car.

Rio?

Hey.

Stay here, it's fine.

-Everyone, listen. Calm down. Easy now.
-[shouting continues]

[all] Surprise!

-Congratulations, dear.
-[Tiara] Thank you.

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

-Here, they want to congratulate you too.
-Congratulations.

What's going on? Huh?

Hello. I'm so happy for you, dear.

[Tiara] Today, my company

won a bid for one of the biggest projects
we've ever handled.

And I'd like you to make today
even happier for me.

Rio.

I'd be honored to marry you.

[cheering, applause]

Okay, I have one more surprise.

[clears throat]

[woman] I wonder what it is.

[all] Oh! Wow!

This here will be a family company.
It's for all of us.

A company that's going to continue
growing and reaching new heights

with a customer base
that will expand many times over.

-Wow!
-And I can't do it by myself.

I'm going to need a good partner
that I can depend on.

[woman] Of course.

Rio.

A happy event like this
should be documented.

-It's time for a family portrait.
-Yeah, come on, guys.

So where should we do it?

-Do I go here?
-Please get that camera.

-Where should I sit?
-You can sit here.

-Okay.
-[chattering]

-Come on, sit here.
-Honey, you can sit on your sister's lap.

-[Tiara] Come sit here.
-Rio. Hey, Rio.

[Tiara] Do you want to sit here?

Why do you look so sad?
You should be happy.

You should smile. Look at you.

Smile, my son. Don't be sad.

This will be good for you. You know? Huh?

And look, you didn't finish college.
Be grateful.

Also, it's not like
you're in civil service,

so you should consider yourself
quite lucky to have a girl like Tiara.

-She's beautiful…
-Where's Rio?

-…and has a master's degree.
-Rio, come here.

-Come sit here.
-Come on. Time to take the photo.

-Let's go sit down.
-[Tiara] Here, want to be in the front?

-Everyone, gather around.
-I'll go over here.

All right, ready? Let's wait for Grandma.

-Come here.
-Okay.

Everyone, big smiles.

Okay, one and two…

-Three!
-Smile!

[shutter clicks]

I hope that your wedding goes smoothly.

Thank you.

-Please see him out.
-Yes, sir.

Who was that?

A wise elder. He's someone that
my grandfather used to know.

-Mmm.
-Do you know what he does?

I guess you could say
that he's sort of an intimacy expert

for our wedding night.

He makes sure a bride still bleeds.

So if, for example,

it turns out that you
are no longer a virgin…

I can still return you.

How come you look nervous? Huh?

That guy who lent you his shirt,
the one from the shoe store,

was he just one of many
who've slept with you?

I'll give you a list if you want one.

Hey, Hen, how's everything going?

-Sas, you ready to see it?
-Of course.

Especially for you, for this presentation,
we'll use real live models.

You have two options to choose from.

One is Prada. One is songket.

This one's in gold.

So elegant!

[inaudible]

Your thoughts?

Nice, right?

[woman on TV] Charlie Chaplin was
one of the biggest stars in the world.

His impact on cinema and culture
is undeniable.

In 1932, Chaplin spent some time in Bali.
And he was welcomed…

Rio.

Look, son.

Bali was turned upside down
by Charlie Chaplin's arrival.

A client of Clara's grandfather,
a man named Robert,

was on the same boat as Charlie Chaplin.

And back then, Clara's grandfather

intended to buy
a pair of shoes for Robert.

Hey, listen. I'm talking to you.

So he looked for a shoemaker
that he could count on.

And that's how he met
your great-grandfather.

He made him a pair of shoes
just like the ones Chaplin had.

Robert was so thrilled.

Fairy tales about shoes.

It's true.

That's a lot of banana stems.

Are you in love, Rio?

-Rio, here.
-[TV reporter] Did you come here

because you're having second thoughts
about your motif?

[Deni on TV] We came to see some options.
I think we're set, right?

-Yeah.
-So for our special day, we're all set.

So far, so good.

[Hendry] Our design for their attire

was inspired
by Cinderella and Prince Charming,

but with a Balinese twist, yeah?

As you can see right there, the ensembles
the gorgeous couple will be wearing

are so luxurious, they perfectly embody
the spirit of royalty.

-How many kids do you plan to have?
-[Deni] Kids? [chuckles]

Five, maybe.

[TV turns off]

Rio.

Forget about her, will you?

To find the right one,
you have to look closely.

Look at the family she comes from,
her status in society…

When you marry Tiara, I'll be glad.
She's good for you.

[man] According to this
Iontar scripture I'm reading,

the birth dates and names
given to these two people

do not indicate a perfect match.

But still… is there some way
to work around it,

to somehow make things
come together for their union?

[laughs]

Of course there is.

-Are you sure?
-Yes, of course.

There is a way.

What we can do to address this

is hold the ritual
that's known as Bebayuhan.

[man 2] Yes, that's true.

He's absolutely right.
We'll make an offering.

-That's the way.
-[man 1 laughing]

[Andra] Excuse me.

Hello?

Sas? Sas?

They just said your birth dates
aren't compatible.

You're not a good match! [chuckles]

Sas? Hello?

[bittersweet music playing]

[both laughing]

Come on.

I could just go straight
to the craftsman instead of Rio.

-Oh, stop. Come on.
-Andra.

I really don't think I can face Rio.

Hey, Sas.

-Come in.
-[Andra] Yeah!

Yeah. She's coming.

So, can I help you?

You can.

-I'd like to order some shoes.
-For your wedding?

Uh… Yeah, what she means to say is…

Rio, you are the best shoe designer
in all of Bali.

That's why Saski wanted
to come here, right?

Sas?

Mm.

[Tiara] Rio?

Hi. We've still got lots to do.

-[Rio] Mm-hmm.
-[Tiara] Yeah?

Excuse us. Um, please feel free to browse.

-Ready?
-Yeah.

[Tiara] Come on, I need you.

-Hurry up.
-Please excuse us.

That's the latest style.

Here, take a look.
Our master plan is finally finished.

Galih?

The architect's approved it. Now we just
have to turn it over to the contractor.

-[Galih] Yeah, it'll be great…
-Here, this one's pretty.

She said it's the latest style.

-[Tiara] Yeah.
-[Galih] And this one will be rose-gold.

-Is that okay?
-[Tiara] I love that.

-I really, really love that.
-[Galih] I know.

-[Tiara] Rose-gold is so nice.
-[Galih] Yeah.

We need to keep it eco-friendly.

-Of course.
-[phone ringing]

Bali is known for being very eco-conscious
so people will expect that…

[Tiara continues, indistinct]

[bittersweet music playing]

Deni is our eldest son.
So I intend for him to take over

the whole family business.

I will leave it in his hands.

I hope you get what I'm saying, Saski.

There's so much pressure on Deni.

You know how it is,
running your own business these days.

[clicks tongue] It isn't easy.
Competition is tough, dirty, cutthroat.

So I'm glad that
you've grown closer to Deni

and stood by him.

Please be patient. Okay?

-[thunder rumbling]
-[Deni] Oh, man…

Why did we have to go all the way here
to find your shoes, Saski?

There are other places

with more experienced
and well-known craftsmen.

Is it because of him?

What's his name?

Your friend who makes shoes?

Oh, I recall it was you, Deni,

who insisted on only the best
for our wedding day.

And I've already found the best dress.

The only thing left for me to find now
is the best pair of shoes to go with it.

-Uh, ma'am.
-Yeah?

-Can I take on?
-Go ahead.

What are you doing, Saski?

Thank you so much, ma'am.

[gentle music playing]

[Deni] Get me one.

Hurry up!

-Mr. Ketut.
-Ms. Saski.

Come sit. Please.

Come join us. Please.

Here. Come check out our shoes. Here.

[grunts]

You were at the store, right?

-You know each other?
-Sort of.

I'm Tiara. Rio's fiancée.

-Saski.
-Hello.

Deni.

-Where were we?
-[Ketut] Oh…

[Tiara]
What do you think? I like this one.

But I think maybe
it could use a little… No, no, no.

[bittersweet music playing]

Saski. I need to have a word with you.

[Saski] Hmm?

You knew he'd be here. Didn't you? Hey.

No, of course I didn't.

We came here to see Mr. Ketut.

[drumming]

-[Tiara] Oh. What's going on, sir?
-A mud wrestling match. Come on.

-Let's all watch together.
-[shouting]

-[Tiara] All right.
-[Ketut] It's fun.

[shouting]

[shouting, cheering]

[men chattering]

Begin!

[men cheering]

Yeah!

Go! Go!

Rio, no!

You two, get back!

[Saski] I like these ones.

They suit me. They fit well.

I think we should just change your shoes
to match these.

Take those off right now.

You're going to return these.

I will not pay for them.

That jerk disrespected me!

He's clearly trying to ruin
our wedding on purpose.

Saski.

I'm warning you.

Don't you dare talk to that guy again.

[delicate music playing]

-And this is all open space?
-Yes, sir.

-[phone chimes]
-Hold a sec.

Sure.

OUR MEETINGS
ALWAYS END IN A MESS.

WE SHOULDN'T
SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN.

-I'll be right back.
-Okay.

Why did you send me that text?

[Saski] We're both preparing for our
weddings and we need to focus on that.

And don't you agree that if we keep seeing
each other, it will make things worse?

Listen, Saski.

I never asked if I could see you.
I didn't ask for any of this.

You were the one
who chose to come to my store.

And you put me in the hospital.

And it was your boyfriend who showed up
at my opening to attack me.

So, yes, I agree with you.
Let's stay away from each other.

And best of luck
with that rich fiancé of yours.

[scoffs] All right, great.

I'm glad you finally get it.

I wish you the best of luck
with your beautiful, rich fiancée too.

And to be clear, this whole mess began

because you handed me
the wrong shoes that day.

And then that artisan of yours,
who is just as careless as you,

gave me the wrong pair again.

So I'm happy to stop seeing you.

We're both happy
with the choices we've made.

This happened because of you
and your shoes.

[tapping]

I told you I never want to see you again.
Stop following me.

-Following you? It's the other way around.
-[scoffs]

I'm here with Andra
because we're trying to plan my wedding.

-I'm not here because of you.
-Well, so am I.

I came here to meet
with the wedding vendor.

Stop lying.

It's the truth. I've accepted reality.

I have too.

I've accepted the reality
that some choices are out of my hands.

You're the one
who won't stop lying to yourself.

[sighs]

Yeah.

I admit I'm lying to myself.

The truth is I love you.

But I must accept reality. Sas…

You know that all your life, you could
only afford to choose the best dress.

But it wouldn't be complete

if you don't find the best shoes
to pair it with.

Are you certain

that you've already found them?

[gentle music playing]

You don't always get to choose
the best things in life.

Sorry.

[gentle music playing]

Rio.

We have to end our business partnerships
with people like Mr. Ketut.

His work is just not good enough.

If we keep him, then our company
won't grow as quickly as we'd like.

It's final. We're going to stop working
with him from now on.

[Rio] We will still pay you, Mr. Ketut.
Please don't worry.

You can still afford your son's tuition.
I can pay for it.

Sorry I'm late.

I kept you waiting here for so long.

Saski.

I know I may not be the best man for you.

There are probably lots of guys
who deserve you more than I do.

But I do know this:

As long as I am with you…

I'll try to be who you want me to be.

And I swear to never leave your side.

Hmm?

[chuckles]

Is that it?

A bit more to the right. Great.

Thanks.

Don't forget that one.

-And the ones in the back too.
-[man] Yes, ma'am.

I understand why you've come.

It's to know when the perfect date is
to hold her wedding day.

But it's no use

if the dates when they were born
aren't compatible.

They will not make a good match. See?

Hmm.

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Now, look, according to this scripture,

your children have to be cleansed

using the water from natural springs.

You must collect from…

118 sources.

-118?
-118 springs.

-That's so many.
-You must follow this to the letter.

You can't use tap water.
That's not going to work.

That is not holy water.

-118 springs…
-Thank you so much, Chief.

Agung Gde.

Hey, you're my brother, aren't you?

And you're also the one
who's in charge of my wedding to Saski.

So how much more time do you need?

You just have to get water
from 118 springs. What's taking so long?

Find a way to speed things up!

Saski, sweetheart,
you're really quite talented.

These designs you've come up with
are special and unique.

Remember what I'm about to say to you.

Never give up on your dream of one day
putting up your very own boutique.

When you have your own boutique,

I'll have another place
to display my designs.

[Saski] Or maybe you should be the one
to sell my dresses for me, Hendry.

-Ah. Mrs. Hadra.
-Hi, Hendry. How are you?

[Hendry] I am good.

Sit down.

-Hi.
-It's Saski, Mrs. Hadra.

-Hello.
-Remember her?

-How are you?
-Sas?

-I'm fine, thanks.
-I remember, of course.

You know that leaf that I gave you…

was meant to lead you to the one,

a person who would help you
see the beauty of life.

The problem is you refused to see
what you had in front of you.

Take this goose feather.

It will lead you to the place that
will bring you the greatest happiness.

Just ask… and it will take you there.

[mystical music plays]

-Stay, won't you?
-Next time.

Mmm. See you.

Are you really sure we can get work here?

Yeah. But it depends
on how happy they are with our service.

At least that's what I was told
by some of the employees who work here.

Deni has a bad temper.

So you just follow my lead. Okay?

Come on. Don't ask too many questions.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hi, Deni.

-[Deni] Hey.
-Hello.

-Olive. Hey.
-Yeah.

Hi.

-Charissa.
-Wrong. Tasya.

-[chuckles] Oops.
-Wrong girl.

-[girls giggle]
-[Deni] Let's go.

[Olive chattering]

Are you okay, Deni?
Let me help you with that.

-We can promote heavily on social media.
-[phone chimes]

We'll use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram,
of course. Am I right?

[woman] Why don't you make a list
of top influencers we can tap,

-the most popular ones.
-[Olive] Honey…

[moans softly]

[Saski] I deserve an explanation, Deni!

I've been trying to be as calm as I can,
so don't talk to me like that.

-[Deni] Shut your mouth.
-[Saski] Pull over.

No.

Pull over.

-I already said no.
-Deni, stop the car now.

You better watch what you say.

[Saski] So explain yourself.

Who were those women
who were with you in your hotel room?

Andra was there too.
She saw everything, Deni.

So tell me. Go on.

What's the point of us getting married?

Forgive me, Saski.

Okay? Come here.

Saski,

this wedding will be good
for both our families.

And you and me,
will it be good for us too?

Does our happiness mean nothing?

I'm sorry, honey. Hey.

You're sorry.
That's all I ever hear from you!

But you never really change.

So I'm going to ask you one more time.

-Why are we even getting married?
-Come on, Saski.

This is all for your mom.
And that boutique you've always dreamt of.

I mean, what else?

This is the kind of guy
that I've always been.

It's what you signed up for.

A man's home life is separate
from what he does on his own.

They're not connected.

They're different things, Saski.

It doesn't mean
we can't live a happy life.

-What else do you need?
-A happy life?

A happy life together? With you?

Look at the facts, Saski.

Use your head, seriously.

I'm telling you this right now
so you can be aware.

So that when we get married
and share a home

and maybe have children together,

there won't be any surprises.

Right?

I'm the only one who can make you happy.

It makes sense now.

Now I get why we have so many problems
with our wedding preparations.

That lontar scripture was right.

I'm not supposed to be with you.

Damn it.

Saski!

Think of your mom, Saski.
This is how life is.

But why me, Deni?
Why didn't you choose somebody else?

Because you had no choice.

You think you're some kind of prince?

You think because
of your wealth and status,

my life is something you can control?

Sure, you can force me to marry you.

But I won't truly be yours

because I'm never going to give
my heart to you.

[Saski's mother] Fate chooses
who you end up with. It's a mystery.

We also have to accept
what our lot in life is as women.

As women, we're supposed to be soft.

We don't control.

We gently guide.

We raise children. We nurture life.

As women, we must be strong like pillars.

If a pillar is not strong,
the whole roof will cave in.

It's that strength that makes us women.

[woman] Mappacci is
a traditional Makassarese ritual

every bride-to-be undergoes
before their wedding.

[traditional music playing]

Mappacci is a ritual
that cleanses your body and soul.

The purpose of going through it
is not merely symbolic,

but is also a prayer.

The pillow serves as a symbol of honor.

The sarongs made of silk

serve as symbols
of protection and prosperity.

The candles

serve as beacons that guide you.

The pacci leaves, the grains of rice
and jackfruit leaves,

all together signify hopes and dreams.

[music stops]

Oh, no, wait! These are melinjo leaves!

These aren't jackfruit leaves!

-This is supposed to be jackfruit leaves.
-What? What's the matter?

-[woman 1] Oh, dear!
-[woman 2] How did this happen?

Sit right there.
Listen, we have to postpone this.

[woman 3] Where's the committee?
Call them now.

I'm not sure when we can resume.
We'll have to wait and see.

For now, we'll have to be patient--

Where is Ilham? Find him right now!

[woman 1] How did this happen?
We can't proceed with the ceremony.

Ilham!

Come here now.

Come here.

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'll go get jackfruit leaves now.

You couldn't even get that right.
Did you leave your brain at home, huh?

-Hey. Calm down.
-You ruined my ceremony today!

Embarrassed me in front of everyone!

[sighs] You can go.

Just leave!

Tiara.

I'll talk to her. T.

I fired Ilham. He messed up badly.

Because of him,
the Mappacci ceremony's postponed.

He was careless and irresponsible.

Where are you now?

Can you please tell me
why you're meeting Mr. Ketut

right in the middle
of an important ceremony?

What for, huh?

Especially when you and I
have already decided that

we'd stop working with people like that.

Rio, listen to me.

This wedding is important to me.
Business is even more important to me.

So tell me right now, what are you doing
still meeting with that guy?

Shh. Shh. That's enough.

Just take it easy.

We're looking for the leaves.

This should be a happy day.

[sobbing]

When I saw how happy you were
that day you visited the village,

I can't explain why, but I felt this urge

to suddenly make some new shoes
for you and for Saski.

I just had this feeling.

I would really love it
if these shoes that you made…

were worn by the woman I love someday.

Someone who'll stand by me
while we make this store grow.

Right now, you're still with Ms. Tiara?

You don't…

always get what you want in life.

[Tiara] Rio.

Apparently, I'm not the woman
you're really in love with.

[bittersweet music playing]

Why didn't you just tell me
in the first place?

Why did we even get engaged?

I'm sorry, Tiara.

-It's okay.
-[sobbing]

[Tiara] Let's go home.

It's okay.

Let's go.

I know our business is gonna do
so much better if Saski and I get married!

Are you trying to stop me?

Get a grip. Of course not.

We're still trying to get
the water you need.

-It takes time, bro.
-You've had more than enough!

You have to speed it up!

-There are rules to this!
-[scoffs]

Rules and customs, screw all that!

Fine, you do it then!

Hey, Deni! What is going on here? Huh?

What's this about?

He's your brother.
This is not how I raised the two of you.

I have made up my mind.

This wedding of yours is off!

But it was you.
You told me that I should marry Saski!

That was before!

But you're only marrying her
so you can claim your inheritance.

And not to build a real family.

I refuse to let Saski
waste her entire life

being married to someone like you.
I will not let her.

If you do business on this land,

you must learn to respect nature
and value our customs.

You know I'm aware
of what you've been doing.

And I know what you've been using
this hotel for.

And you are through!

You've been running our business
into the ground!

Wait, Dad!

What? Hmm? You listen to me well.

This business will go to your brother.
It's his from now on.

And he will manage
all our family's finances, all of it!

It's his now. I'm done with you!

[shouts]

Here, look!

[somber music playing]

I'm sure my doctor's told you
about my current condition.

I just want you to know that

what I'm going through right now
is not your fault.

This is all part of God's plan.

Okay.

I'm sorry for everything, Mom.

I feel like I let you down.

[delicate music playing]

Choosing a partner
is like picking a pair of shoes.

Only you know what's best for you,
and you decide what suits you best

to help you get through
all of life's ups and downs.

Your happiness is all that really matters
to me and your father.

It's all we want, dear.

[poignant music playing]

Dad, Mom…

I'd like you both to give me
your blessing right now.

[sighs]

Please pray that I'm walking
on the right path.

I'M OFF TO JAKARTA.

TELL YOUR FRIEND
TO HAVE A HAPPY WEDDING.

[phone chimes]

[gentle music playing]

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Rio. I thought your flight was today.

It is.

I'm about to head out.

-But you're okay? You're sure?
-Yeah.

I'm fine, really.

Take care, Rio.

I will.

Hey, you're that girl from last time,
Miss Mouth-to-Mouth!

Sir. Could you please speed it up a bit?

Oh, I can't do that.
There are processions everywhere.

[Saski] No…

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE

What to do now? Where do we go from here?

-Sir, which way do we go?
-There. That way.

Just straight ahead? Thank you, sir.

Just relax, miss, okay? Flow.

We can't control everything
that happens in our lives.

Go with the flow. Hey, tell me.

What happened with the guy that night?
Did a princess end up with a prince?

Oh, you can't be serious!

Sir, I need you to go faster. Okay?

Oh, wait, I know! You're in a hurry
to catch up with the prince,

just like in the movies, aren't you?

What did I tell you, huh? Real life
is just like a fairy tale, right?

So when we're faced
with lots of problems or worries in life,

you just need to take
a goose feather and let it fly.

Think of it as a fairy
floating in the wind,

a fairy that will help you find
your way to your prince.

Oh, no, miss,
I think they closed this road too.

[Saski] It's fine.
I'll get off here. Thanks, sir.

All right.

I'm just dropping her off.

[gentle music builds]

[gentle romantic music soaring]

-[door opens]
-[chimes clinking]

No matter how long you're gone…

or how many times you leave…

there is simply no way
my heart will ever be closed to you.

Because I'm certain…

you'll always come home to me.

Our home is right here…

a home for the two of us.

And the doors will always be open for us.
