Shouldn't we go there? Come.

Hey.

London, baby.

Honey, message from your mother. - Oh well, will come later.

How handsome you are.

Honey.

Honey, another message.

Hi.

So nice. Oh, yes.

Oh, we match.

Hey.

Who is Doedie?

We have to go home.

Come.

Good luck. I'll see you later, won't I?

You should really together, honey.

As a family.

Mom.

Jen, seriously? A selfie?

Rouwfie.

Mom.

Bye, Omi.

Mom, what are you going to do with the urn?

You know, I haven't not thought about it at all.

We can take her home. Her real home, to Indonesia.

No, she never talked about that, did she? - Exactly, that's why.

I do wonder what it was like there, how they lived there.

You don't?

Let me know when you have the urn, I'll come take a picture.

Okay, honey. - But Mom, seriously.

Bali. Omi scattering in Bali.

Bali, yes. Mom? - No, she hadn't wanted to.

Perhaps such a journey bring us closer together.

You want that so badly, don't you? - Yes.

I can already see the hashtags in front of me. 'Bali with the girls.' 'Love granny.'

And then definitely mourn under a waterfall, together in a bikini.

And I'm the bitch? Mom, do you see what she's doing?

Jen. - Girls.

Eat, eat. Here, lemper, bacon cake.

Tasty. - And where is the selamatan?

We're not going to do those. Mom really didn't have anything to do with that at all.

The selamatan? - That's a spirit thing.

But there is no such thing, Auntie Mouse.

Let her be.

She is just like her mother. She didn't believe in ghosts either.

? What was it like to find the way home?

? Was the path lined with stars to light your way?

? How many stories were you told and were they true?

Bye, Omi.

? And will you ever be the same?

? It's like everyone knows where to go?

? For the first time now I live alone?

? Every morning there's a rainbow hanging out my window?

? Hey?

? Hey?

? What would we find if you cracked open?

? A kaleidoscope of lies and hope you've broken?

I wish I had known you better.

? Could we put you back again and place you on the wall???

Have you seen this coat yet?

Oh, we haven't been to the basement yet.

Mom, was this already there?

Ah well...

India. Still, she missed it, too.

She was homesick.

I really think that we should take her there.

No, she never went back.

She came to Holland and wanted to become Dutch as soon as possible.

Did she want to or did she have to? - We don't know.

There was no mention of that.

The great Indian silence, that's what your father used to say.

Sometimes you don't say things because they are too painful.

And maybe you'll find the answers to all your questions, Neeltje.

I don't have any questions at all. - Okay, but I do.

We are going. We are going to scatter Omi in Bali.

I know you think it's too expensive, but I'll take care of it.

I sponsored my house together, so a trip like that should do the trick.

It would be good, wouldn't it? To do something with the three of us.

I'll take care of it.

Hey, honey. - Hey.

Paradise on earth, Bali.

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny. First of all: respect for you, really.

We had great deals together

and made a lot of sponsors happy, brought in a lot of doekoe.

Bro, just say. - She's going through a tough time.

I know what you guys want to say. This puts me at the top again.

We're going to make a travel vlog and all I need is tickets and hotels.

You are too normal. - Yes, average.

The girl next door. - Sponsors want urban roots.

Diversity. - Exactly, mixed race.

All complicated shit.

Yes, but I am Indian.

O? Yes, now that you mention it I can see it.

Then shouldn't you go to Indonesia? - Yes.

Bali is located in Indonesia.

O. - Cool angle, per se.

Exotic posts about your past.

Looking for your identity, that kind of shit.

Yes.

How much are you?

What? - Indo.

Well, we never talk about that at home.

An eighth? A quarter?

Oh, that's not enough.

Sorry, this does feel to me a little bit like cultural appropriation.

That is not of this time.

Exactly that. All complicated shit.

We have to let you go, honey. Especially after your break-up.

Whose break-up?

What is this, Max?

Sorry, honey.

You were also so sad about your grandmother and all that.

So I felt for a moment absolutely no connection with you.

Connection?

Con... Connection.

That's what people have When they are together?

When they're not just concerned with themselves.

I'm really having a bit of a Jenny overload.

No, we are not going to do this.

We're going on a trip together to the most romantic island in the world

and then we're gonna make a love video there with the most beautiful places.

Yes, to swim, to dive and to get married.

Yes, but not with me, honey.

I don't believe in getting married at all. No.

You know that, right?

Okay, yes.

Too bad.

No.

No, fine. Fine, you know.

I will soon be in a month on a million followers.

Then you come back with hanging feet

and then you'll be sorry That you ever let me go.

Jenny?

My god, you really are. Can I take a selfie?

Yes, sure.

You were seriously my biggest inspiration when I was in first grade.

You really were such an icon back then.

Thank you.

Jen, did it work out?

Yes.

Yes.

What?

Yes, they were wildly enthusiastic.

Tickets and hotels.

Hey, where should that go? - The Circle.

Bali.

Wayo, not normal.

Right, Mom? - Yes.

Jen.

The princess and the rice picker.

A long time ago

there lived in Indonesia in our family there was a princess.

The rice picker looked up from his work

and then saw the very, very, very beautiful girl

that he had ever seen.

It was love at first sight.

The princess found the rice picker in turn

the most handsome boy she had ever seen.

The princess's parents did not want her to marry below her station

and who prohibited her from any longer dealing with the rice picker.

They missed each other terribly

and they hoped that someday they would come together again.

They were separated by fate.

Just like our mom and dad? - Dad fell in love with someone else.

Toe, kassian. - Toe, kassian.

The rice picker found In the waterfall of the two sisters

a gemstone.

He made it into a necklace and gave it to the princess.

Nice. - Mhm.

Yes, he is beautiful

but he has caused the princess and the family only caused unhappiness.

The young rice picker died of grief.

The boy's mother was so angry that she went to a dukun.

A wizard she cursed.

Now that chain brings bad luck

Until the curse is lifted.

Need to watch.

Omi still kept things from her time in Indonesia.

Mom, there was always that necklace?

Which chain?

You don't remember? - No?

The necklace of the princess and the rice picker.

Grandma has told me that a hundred times.

That goena goena story. Omi sure was into black magic, wasn't she?

If we find that necklace, what should we do with it?

Carrying. Yes.

That thing is really an eye-catcher. - You're not afraid of goena goena?

I don't do superstitions. - Neither do I.

I wouldn't mock it if I were you.

'Your entire female progeny will be unhappy in love.'

What nonsense.

Who knows, maybe that necklace contains really does contain goena goena. It might.

Is that why everyone in our family is unhappy in love?

Honey, that necklace is gone. You don't have to worry about that.

And that love that will come for you, and also for me.

Mom, this gone too?

No, that's Omi. - O.

? Surely there must be somewhere?

? A place where they understand who I am?

? Don't keep searching with your eyes closed?

? Everything you couldn't see before?

? Are you giving the very best perhaps?

? I didn't know I was dreaming until you woke me up?

? In love with what I see, in love with you?

Oh, stop, stop.

Hey, guys. I really just feel that energy. It's really fantastic.

Yes, you can. Come on.

Super. Thanks.

Thank you. You can go, you know.

Welcome home, mom.

To-keh, to-keh.

Do you hear'm?

Mom?

What are you doing here?

You brought me here.

And I'm glad about that. It's been too long.

Beautiful, isn't it? I wasn't allowed to wear this before.

Do you hear'm?

To-keh.

To-keh.

I missed it so much.

So why did we never go back? - We couldn't go back.

I had to think about the future.

Just like you with the girls. - Mhm.

Mom, they also have here...

Are you okay? - Yes, fine.

Here, I had...

Had you already seen these at Omi's? - Mhm.

See.

Mom.

Hey, there you are.

With her baboo. - Huh?

What, Baboe? - She had a nanny.

Really? - That was quite normal back then.

Yes, and here. Wait.

This one. - Oh, yes.

How beautiful she was.

And who is he?

I don't know.

Sorry, I'm going. Good night. - Night.

Here. Bizarre, isn't it, this house?

Did Omi ever mention anything about that?

No, nothing.

Maybe that house is still there.

No, I don't know.

Night.

Bye, honey. Sleep well.

She won't find anything.

Everything is gone.

How do you know?

Oh, you're still not telling anything? - No.

Mom?

Did you say anything else? - No.

Okay?

Night.

Takut. Bangerd.

I'm not gonna tell her I'm bickering with my dead mother?

My goodness, it really is so wonderful here.

The best way to start the day, is with a floating breakfast.

Floating breakfast? - How do you come up with it?

Really amazing, guys. Yes, really so delicious.

I also really feel totally grounded.

Wait.

Oh, shit.

Jen.

Just take mine. Those carbs are really killing.

An offering to the gods. Here in Bali you see the spiritual everywhere.

Every flower and dish Has a spiritual meaning

To propitiate the gods.

And I'm taking you on a journey in my new series In love with Bali.

Extraordinary though, isn't it?

Followers love floating bitch videos.

Jen, you are in Bali. On the island where your grandmother grew up

Are you only concerned with your followers?

Mom, does that urn really have to go everywhere?

I can hardly leave her behind, can I?

Hello, do you like batik?

O...

Yes, how much does this one cost? -300.

Pisang Rai. - Pisang Rai.

Pisang? - Don't know where that came from either.

Two, please.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Thank you.

Please. Thank you.

What are you doing? Jen, don't. That's a sacrifice.

Sorry.

Please.

Do you throw that in the trash? - Watch it being prepared.

No one has ever died from a pisang.

You don't know what you're missing.

Hanging over the toilet for two hours.

Hi.

Aww.

You thought, I'll go in costume.

Surely that is super offensive to the locals, that you wear this as a tourist?

That's really cultural appropriation.

That you look like Pino, that's nice, you mean?

Well. That's couture.

Mom, Omi didn't wear "serong" either, did she?

Sarong.

No.

In the Netherlands, no.

Long skirts, white hat, clogs. That's what I call costume.

You know you're dead, right mom? - I don't believe in ghosts.

I really don't understand you, Dewi.

I just want to know where I came from. It's not that crazy.

Yes, from the Netherlands.

I want to know more about my family history.

My grandmother used to live here.

Is she Indonesian, Chinese or Indo-European?

It is rather complicated. Her ancestors came from Java and Ambon

but her parents were already of mixed ancestry.

She lived here until 1965.

My grandmother used to tell us a story. Do you recognize this symbol perhaps?

Is it perhaps goena goena?

This is a curse, kutoe kan.

It's just an old story.

We don't believe in that here anymore.

Yes.

Okay, and...

What about these houses? I was looking...

Our home in Indonesia.

Siti, my babu.

Thanks.

Another foreigner looking for the good old days.

Good luck.

Is this your vase?

Urn.

Urn? - Pooh...

Yes, this is my mother. I'm going to scatter that here.

Beautiful. - Yes.

So. I thought you could use could use a hug, didn't you?

Don't.

Next you'll be asking me out on dates and then it will be very uncomfortable.

Then we still end up in polite sex. - Polite sex? What's that, yo?

Never mind.

Hey, but a nice thought.

That you will bring your mother back To't island of the thousand gods.

Has the selamatan been over yet?

What do you know about that?

When I first came here. not so much.

I've lived here so long now that I have attended enough of them.

Such an ancient tradition where you have to let go of the dead

I just like that, there's something about that.

I think it's a ritual for people who don't want to accept death.

Are you serious?

If you're dead, then I think you're just immediately gone.

I had rated you as a feeling person. - Did you? Joh.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

So because I don't practice superstition, I am not a feeling person.

Okay, for my understanding then. You're from the other side of the world

to scatter your mother's ashes and walk with her urn under your arm

And you don't practice superstition?

That's very complicated for me. - It is?

But maybe we'll meet another time.

Wait a minute, I feel it. I know it.

Neeltje. - Neeltje, I knew it.

I wouldn't count on it. - I only count on my karma.

And Bali is not that big.

I'm Frank, by the way.

What a nice man.

And so bright.

Joh, just that sarong alone.

Well, become a spinster.

I need to find a place soon To scatter you, mom.

Hey.

Hey, a Dutchman. - Yeah.

Yes, here I am also clearly a bule, a foreigner.

And in the Netherlands, actually, too.

Are you also Indian?

Indonesian roots, indeed.

So do I.

Ridwan.

Dewi.

Did you find anything else about your grandmother?

No, if only.

No, I only know that she was in a girl's choir

and that she played tennis with a group of friends.

And that she grew up here, but that's it.

O... - Yes.

Really sad though that she grew up here

and had to go to a country which she did not know.

That house looked pretty Dutch. I think you have too romantic a view.

Sorry.

Sorry, I...

I'm still sort of figuring it out myself.

I did see houses like that in the north.

Do you know where?

But I can help you search.

If you like? - Gladly.

No, I don't know. I'm not interested.

No, no way. No, stop.

Tricky, isn't it, finding a roundtrip here?

It seems like everyone is offering tours. How do you know which one is really good?

I can think of one that's kind of okay.

What are they called again? Double Dutch Tours, I think.

The best of Bali under Dutch-speaking guidance.

And not expensive.

Not expensive, because I must be very stingy.

It's around here, come. - No, I'll find it myself.

Turn right, next to the bike shop.

Injury continued.

Double Dutch.

Would you like one? - No, thanks. But very nice.

This one? - Oh, no. Hearty fun, but no.

What, seriously?

Yes, sorry. The competition here is cutthroat.

Not enough customers?

Well, we offer a smaller, unique Bali experience for the true traveler.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. So not enough customers.

Well, let's see What a nice, single woman...

With her mother and sister.

...with her mother and sister needs.

Family trip? - No.

What do you think I need?

Doing nothing at all for six months.

Are you a tour guide Or are you a life coach?

You'll see at'the end of your journey.

Say, I'm quite a well-known influencer.

What if you sponsor my trip and then I tag you in all my posts?

Gold content.

I thought you were not stingy. - A purely business proposition.

Heartening for your business.

You know what's good for my business? Cash.

Okay, what does it cost for one person? Round trip of three days.

Are you sure you don't want the three of you?

No.

Hey, where was this picture taken?

Cash or credit card?

Okay.

Woohoe, wow.

? I jumped so high I touched the clouds?

? Wooh?

? I stretched my hands, all through the night?

Thanks. - Okay, man.

? I'm never gonna look back?

? I'm never gonna give it up?

? Please don't wake me now?

? This is gonna be the best day of my life?

? My life?

? This is gonna be the best day of my life?

? My life?

? I hear it calling outside my window?

? I feel it in my soul?

? I had a dream so big and loud I jumped so high I touched the clouds?

Have you got everything? Come, enough for today.

More followers than you.

Yes, because in every post she showing her tits.

Watching?

Oh, she's already traveling, too.

Can't think of anything new, I'm sure.

Hey, I was thinking about mom.

Dew. Dew?

She drags Omi's urn everywhere. That's not right, is it?

Yes, mom is just a little lonely.

I understand you are busy with work

but couldn't you make make time for her?

Yeah, maybe your content with Max won't get any better, but

You also just have family.

Is that why Max is not along?

I...

I have a Max-overload for a while.

If you really want to do something for mom

Then you take her tomorrow.

We are here.

Really nice bag. - Don't have to hold her.

You bought a tote bag for Omi? - Yes, that way she's nice and close to me.

Okay...

See.

Hey, guys. Here we are.

Are you looking out? - Yes, yes. All right.

Mom, look.

The Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple.

This is a sacred source and provides a pure spirit.

And here I am going to have my soul cleansed.

I am really looking forward to it so much.

Honey?

Hey, Max.

Jenny?

Well... What...

How nice that you're here too. - What are you doing here?

Well, what do you think?

This is one of the most famous places of't whole island.

What are you doing here in Bali?

And, honey?

And? - Wonderful, dear.

Everything looks so beautiful on you. - Oh, honey.

You are always so handsome, dear.

Jenny. Oh, you've already been in it. And?

Do you feel reborn? Max already mentioned that your family...

That's where the best pictures are. I'll show you guys.

By the way, how great you look. It's so nice to see you again.

Bear insisted, because Bali is one of the must-see's if you are anyone.

You just stole my whole idea and sponsors.

Ho, ho, ho, Jenny. Take a look around you, hey.

Do you think all these people here nicked your sponsorship deal?

Was it your sponsorship deal?

Yes, with that, Beertje would arrange tickets.

But honey, which sponsors?

Which one?

Face it, you are totally out of touch.

Your commitment collapsed months ago.

And your stats those were really bad.

Who would want to to enter into a partnership?

With you around, I would never have never would have pulled it together.

Gross.

Did you dump her because her socials were going bad?

No.

No, between Jenny and me it was over a long time ago, honey. Really.

Jenny herself knows that. - No, I didn't know that.

Bye, Max.

Hey, isn't that...

Yes, Expedition Robinson season 12. - Exactly.

So, I think that's a jerk. - Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

We are going to change clothes.

Oh, I still want to see that temple. - No, we're going to change clothes.

Yes, three pictures won't win me a social war.

Driver's waiting, ladies. Come.

Mom.

Omi.

Can you get out for a minute? Hello?

Jesus.

Can you guys go? We want to take a picture.

Come on.

Are they deaf or something? Jesus.

Hey.

Frankie.

Guy. - My man.

Ladies, this is Frank. This is his surf shop and he's the best.

Neeltje. - Hi.

Didn't I say Bali was a very small island?

Hey... These are my daughters, Jenny and Dewi.

Hi. - Welcome.

Hello. - Welcome.

I would say, grab a board.

And then we are going to enjoy the beneficial effects of the waves.

Come. - Aren't you participating?

I am going to enjoy the beneficial effects of my book.

The sea of time Has the most beautiful beach, lol.

Is that a Balinese wisdom? - A tile.

But you're right.

Never do anything you don't feel like doing, and not at all out of politeness.

And the beach beds are free for customers.

Adoe, what a body, huh?

Yes.

Mom, I'm here with the girls.

Yeah. Like they can't be able to take care of themselves.

? Don't I make it look easy, baby?

? When I do what I do?

? Don't I make it look easy, baby?

Yes, good job, girls.

What are you doing? - I'm going to film you.

Can you show off your skills. Case service.

Yes, and then keeping your balance. Very good.

Through your knees.

Good.

Make speed, paddle.

? You won't ever see me cry?

Through your knees.

? 'Cause I've got a filter for every single lie?

? Don't I make it look easy, baby?

Just dropping you. Just drop you.

Paddling, paddling. Making speed.

Yes.

? Don't I make it look easy, baby?

? I'm good at keeping my cool?

? Don't I make it look easy, baby?

? Well, I'm fooling you?

Let's see?

Yes, that's him.

Cameltoe. Again.

Cameltoe?

Oh, yes.

Do you like this music? Come dance with mom.

We are in the Netherlands, so talk Dutch.

What will people think?

Where did you know that song from?

Oh, well. Knowing... I don't even know exactly what it means.

It's about a trip to Munduk.

That's a place up north. - Yes.

My mother used to sing it sometimes when my aunt was there.

It was the only Indian thing she did.

That's why you don't want selametan. Your mother did Indian things, so you don't either.

Well, again, that sounds so grand.

I was sometimes jealous of a Surinamese girl

because at her house they did a lot to where they came from.

You didn't discuss that with your mother?

No.

No, in Indonesia everything had been good and she didn't know anything else.

Yes, that it was hot. I wanted to give my talk about it

but then I did it over a rabbit anyway.

Did you have a rabbit? - No.

Rodents gnaw on your happiness, right? Everyone knows that, right?

Come here.

Now I have to let you go.

Otherwise, I have no reason to hug you on our first date.

Thank you. You have a good eye for pictures.

What are you doing?

I'm not your boyfriend, am I? Why are pictures so important to you?

Did you used to have real friends?

Yes, a group of friends. Like everyone else, right?

I didn't. Everybody thought I was weird.

I only found that out when I wasn't invited to a party.

I had a boyfriend, but he not really want to be seen with me.

When he and everyone were partying, that's when I created an account.

My very first account.

With such a cute little dog.

Hup, ten followers. A week later, a hundred followers.

A hundred people who liked me. I didn't know what hit me.

Yes, no one wanted the real Jenny. But they did want the online version.

And that boyfriend? - As if I still wanted to be with that.

And Max was also famous. He saw me standing there.

We helped each other.

Sounds like a business deal.

Perhaps.

But we really loved each other.

Maybe I'm just doing this to prove something to those people of old.

Are you putting that on tonight? - Yes.

That house from that picture was in Munduk. That's where Omi lived.

Munduk? Hey, but... - That song about Munduk.

Omi used to sing that all the time. I just hadn't made that link yet.

Someone would still be thinking where that picture of grandma was taken

but thanks to mom we know.

Jen. - Look, Mom.

Ah, what a nice boy.

I do know what he can think about. - Yeah? Does Max think so, too?

Does Max think so too?

Yes.

Oh, by the way. We're meeting with Bart tonight.

And he said that maybe that surf instructor was coming.

Isn't that something for you, Mom? - No.

You don't have to throw yourself at the first slippery man, mind you.

Jen...

You look beautiful.

Nice isn't it, when you go out with such a fine man.

Mom, I'm going with the girls.

Yeah, that's what you said when you were 14 and went to the disco.

What time do you want me to come home?

One hour right?

My father never liked if we went to a dance night.

You are as beautiful as ever.

He's going to fall for you. He's crazy if he doesn't.

Mom, stop it.

Sudah al.

Half past eleven at home.

You stay here for an evening.

I don't want to miss anything.

You're in that urn, aren't you?

In that urn is my ashes. I am in your head.

As long as you keep your mouth shut.

Cheers. - Cheers.

Hey, ladies. Yeah, how's it going?

Hey.

Pretend to be surprised, eh. Ask questions.

Men find women annoying Who constantly talk about themselves.

No, a mother-in-law who is always giving advice, that's attractive.

What, Mom?

Coincidental or not, right?

Is it a sign? - A sign?

Are you going spiritual now? Hey, what's up?

Good. - Yes?

No, Bart said you were here, so I'll take my chances.

Yes, but a little distance. Not being too reachable.

Do you want something to drink? - No, you can't stand booze.

They have delicious cocktails here, but they're stiff with vodka.

Not another one. I forbid you, yes. - Yes, I want that one.

You get wanton when you're tipsy.

Mom, really.

Oh, are we going to play drums?

Say, that shirt.

Yes, what's with that? - Do you want the long version or the short version?

Yes, I open it in any case.

You want to change me already?

No, don't change.

I just show what is already there. That's what I do.

Everything as best as possible for the day.

I can turn a turd into a pastry.

So who is the turd in this story?

Guide by day, comedian by night.

But after the father of your children you didn't have another courtship?

No, not really.

Was he so special that you didn't want anyone else?

Yes, no. I did have dates.

Yes, hold on. Enter the infamous polite sex.

Yes. - But what is that really?

Do you then have to say you, get a napkin? What is it?

It's old-fashioned.

Just that you app with someone for a while and then go on a date.

You already know it's not going to be him anyway, but you get along out of politeness.

No, what? - Yes.

Not. - Yes.

Do you? - I did.

Nowadays I send them away if I don't like them.

I have become a bitch.

Huh? What are you doing here?

Your app.

What?

What?

My sister sent you something. Sorry, I didn't know.

Doesn't matter. - Oh, okay.

Your mother?

Yes.

Where do you want to go?

Doesn't matter to me. I just just enjoying being on the road.

Why?

I don't attach much importance to a place, I guess.

Was that always the case?

Pff.

Yes.

I think so.

As in.

I had it in elementary school, too.

In elementary school I was so just different from everyone else.

Not white, but also not that people knew

what I was then.

So I always fell so just everywhere in between

And then you don't really belong anywhere, I don't think.

And then people would ask if I was a half-breed.

And then I said, No, I have whole blood.

Very blood. - Yes.

I even had my hair blonded. - Really?

Yes, I wanted to be as Dutch as possible.

Crazy. My mother was so angry.

Did she think it was ugly? - No, I had used her debit card.

That was very expensive.

What the hell is this, yo? - That's nice, come.

Hey, what are you doing? - My work.

Hey, where are you going? - I'm going home.

So I can go back to work tomorrow.

Last day of your tour.

You are sweet. - Watch out, watch out.

And beautiful. - And?

And attractive. - Stop.

But do you know?

I didn't know I was going to say this. - What?

I want to get to know you better.

Yes? - Mhm.

You're home late.

It was already half past twelve.

We can go inside, but my mother is there.

I've already met your mother, haven't I.

At the market with her urn, remember? - Oh yes, wait a minute.

We're going to be very brief...

Hold on.

Okay...

Mom. What are you doing here?

Are you sure that's what you want?

I am an adult.

I know. We can go to your house.

She can't find that.

No, no, no. Ten o'clock tomorrow.

That person is driving me crazy. - Listen, ten o'clock tomorrow.

You, me and the waves, right? - Now.

No. I need to sleep and so do you.

I have a swimming pool. We can swim now.

I have a pool. - I'm going to sleep and so are you.

Ten o'clock tomorrow.

Frank, I have a pool.

Hey.

Good thing you made another appointment made.

If you let people hit on you the first time, you're a slice of bread.

And then no one will want you.

Side note. Lellebel.

Mom.

So according to your mother your grandmother lived in Munduk.

Yes.

Well, and all that because of a song from the past.

It could also just be a coincidence.

Yes, I don't believe in that.

Everything happens for a reason.

One, two, three. Yes.

Wonderful, thank you.

What do you look for in a photograph?

Well, I was actually looking for stories about my great-great-grandmother.

She was an Indonesian woman

who worked as a housekeeper for my Dutch great-great-grandfather.

And then she became pregnant by him.

Okay, but was that out of love or...

I was hoping to find a romantic story

instead of a boss who abused his staff.

And? - Nothing found.

My mother and my sister think this whole quest of mine but nonsense.

And those photos?

Yes, those photos.

I...

I am trying to immortalize it now, and with it history, to immortalize it.

Those three generations just now? - Yes?

These now exist forever.

I can't.

No.

Good morning.

Hey. Rough night?

Did he get you home safely? - I feel lousy.

I enjoyed it very much yesterday, but then...

But then what?

Then everything turned out differently.

And now he's already here.

Hey.

He's going to show me the island.

And I asked if you could come along, but it wouldn't fit on his scooter. Right?

Are you hungover? - No, I feel fine.

Did I say weird things yesterday? - You were embarrassing yesterday. Really embarrassing.

No. You were really sweet. Are you done?

Yeah. I'm still going to get my stuff for a while.

And the car is upstairs.

My mother...

She's having quite a difficult time because of the death of my grandmother.

Our Omi. So she's quite vulnerable.

Yes, I understand that. - Well, just for the record.

If you hurt my mother

I'll flood the Internet with bad reviews about that outfit of yours.

I can also see that she is still too preoccupied with her mother.

Well, tell me about it. - Inside her head.

As long as she can't let go of your grandmother, it's very difficult for her to...

Om?

You know what it is? For Neeltje, Omi is still here, lol.

And they can. Maybe they not yet ready to let go of each other.

Crisis, say. This island. Really serious. Is everyone here so superstitious?

If something works, is it superstitious?

Take the selametan, for example. That can be healing

So your Omi and mother can move on, and so can you.

I'm not pulling this.

Go steady with Jomanda, but don't bother my mother with that nonsense.

Come.

? No mountain on the horizon?

? In this country where I was born?

? No mountain on the horizon?

? Only ivory towers?

? Ruma saya?

? Tepi-langit saja?

? Benteng-benteng?

Are you going to Munduk? - No.

To Munduk?

Dewi. Dewi.

Sorry, I shouldn't have done it.

It's okay. It wasn't up to you, okay?

Stop. It's not up to you, yes?

To Munduk? - Yes.

Come on, come on.

Sorry, I get that now I look like some weird stalker right now

But I thought we had a click.

Yes, we had that too.

So? Dewi, explain.

Then I'll get off at the next stop And you won't have to see me again.

You don't believe me anyway. - Try me.

I am cursed.

See? You don't believe me.

Dewi.

I need some more information.

? And then I long for another house?

? In my father's country?

? But even there I will be a stranger?

? In my father's country?

? Ruma saya dimana?

? Ruma saya?

Wooh.

Look. - Wow.

Wooh.

Fantastic.

? Ini praja?

And the waterfall of the two sisters then made sure

That no woman could still find love.

May I? - Yes.

And not that I necessarily need love right now or anything

but enough has happened in my life to confirm that.

So.

And now you probably think I'm crazy?

Which I kind of am.

No, I don't think so.

And I'm not leaving because....

I have never felt that way about anyone and

I don't want to lose that.

Sorry, pardon. Sorry, chicken.

We need to lift that curse.

Yes.

Wow.

Really beautiful here.

Wait. Trial.

Well, no. I don't think that that's a very wise idea.

Wow.

Actually, you should just be able should be able to add flavors to all your posts, right?

Or you can just enjoy , in the moment.

That is really a very modern thought.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

High five.

What was that?

Sometimes I help that family a little. - Old colonial.

Waterfalls?

Yes.

Here in Bali you feel the power of nature.

Ho, don't. Stop.

So you shouldn't film this. - Why not?

Well, on my posts, such a waterfall looks like a secret place in the middle of nature.

Then this is the real secret, isn't it? That it's not.

Why don't you just show the world As it is? Totally real.

The real Bali is one big money machine. No one wants to see that.

You'll have 1,000 followers in no time, you know. - Come along.

Hey, Jenny.

Hey... - Hey, come.

What a coincidence. First at the temple and now here.

Yes... - Some kind of magic.

Magical. - Yes, magical.

What's it like?

Good. Yes, better even.

I saw it, yes. Nice, that post on Insta with the feet and stuff.

So supercute.

Yes.

But you're keeping your new lover for yourself for a while yet?

So you are still following me?

Bear, I'd love another cocktail. Would you like one?

Come and chill with us. - No, we really need to move on.

Oh, too bad.

What do you want, Bear?

Yes.

What do you want, Bear?

I'm really very happy to see That you are doing so well.

Sincerely, huh. Just enjoying yourself.

Then the pain will go away by itself. - My god, is it really you?

Can I take a picture?

My...

These are Dutch people.

Looking, looking, not buying. Always the same story.

Maybe Dewi is right and we really are cursed.

Sorry, what?

My grandmother used to tell a story about there being a necklace

through which no one can become happy in love.

What nonsense.

Why aren't you smiling?

Do you believe in this?

Not everything can be explained logically.

Certainly not in Bali. - Oh, okay...

What's with the Frisian flag?

When I started, there were two of us.

I ran the company together with a buddy of mine.

One night we got drunk and...

And drove a man to his death.

The father of that family.

And himself.

Man, how proud Sieb was to be Friesian.

I was always like, what the hell is that, Frisian?

Or Brabo. - Or an Indo.

Exactly. In the end, it doesn't matter. We are all one, right?

Anyway, he wanted a Frisian flag.

So he got a Frisian flag.

And where I can, I try to support that family to support that family a little bit.

Hey, but you couldn't help it at all.

We were drunk together.

Then you have to take responsibility.

This must be it. - Guess so.

Are you from the Netherlands? - Yes, we are from the Netherlands.

Not bad.

You speak Dutch?

A little. - Sedikit?

Did you remember the family? - I was still small.

Come with me. - Yes.

My father has long working for your family.

Grandma.

I am.

Long time ago. - Mhm.

Everything different after Margarana.

Margarana?

War.

Go over there. There was fighting there.

Okay, next pose. Next pose, next pose.

And the last one.

Jumping. One, two, three.

Jumping. Okay, now number 27.

Thanks. - Now number 27.

Look, that one is beautiful. - Oh, yeah.

You're not going to film this either, are you?

No, I can't use that, can I? No one wants to see hordes of people.

It is real, though.

Just because something is real, doesn't mean it's interesting.

Whew... What is this place?

Grandma's former gardener said this is is why Grandma left.

That warung down the road sells satay. Don't you want to taste it?

You're not going to find anything here.

See, here on this spot the Balinese revolted in 1946.

That was crushed by the Dutch with brute force.

There are very few Dutch tourists.

I had no idea.

I had just been born and then there was terrible fighting here.

A puputan, a fight to the death.

Mom, is there someone you know lying here?

Not our family. It's Iskandar's father.

That was my great love.

Ah, Mom.

Iskandar.

No one has ever looked at me like him.

He was sweet, funny, strong.

He made me feel alive.

But this is his father's grave? - Yes, grave of his father.

He was killed by the Dutch.

We lived here for generations.

But they still considered us as Dutchmen.

And they couldn't not tolerate the idea of us together.

Our worlds did not fit.

And then why did you leave? - We couldn't stay here.

To them, we remained Dutch.

We were thrown out. Spiteful opponents.

And Iskandar?

I never stopped loving him.

And from Dad?

From Dad, too.

But that's why you thought You were cursed in love.

Yes.

And that chain... - Yes?

That story about the necklace That you used to tell the girls.

That's about you, right?

Yes, I was. I turned it into a fairy tale

and in a fairy tale something scary has to happen.

They still believe it.

I wanted to protect you from the pain that love can do.

Yes... That's why we all all now not to commit.

But you can change that.

My mother who has left her homeland

and her great love

To give me a better future.

I thought I should do the same. Always just be there for my children.

What does this say about us, Mom?

About our family?

I mean, that big Dutch house. Grandma just grew up in wealth

while there were a lot of people who had nothing at all.

My ancestors were part of a colonial system.

I...

I'm embarrassed when I'm here.

Do you know what they say here?

Here they say "jam karet.

Jam karet.

Time heals, time is elastic.

Jam karet. What kind of nonsense is that?

That if you deny things long enough that then it didn't happen?

I don't think he's saying that. - I think he does.

And you don't have to stand up for him.

Will you please stop denying everything?

With that whole tempo doeloe, over-romanticized bullshit?

And that image of India... It's just not true.

Elastic time also means

That it does exist.

The pain. But...

Mom, it doesn't exist.

It's all about how you deal with it.

You don't have to bear all the sufferings of your ancestors.

Hey, hey...

Thanks.

Thanks. On the last tour day.

Oh, wow.

It is the day of connection.

Here in Bali, they celebrate the day of connection.

Look how people are beaming.

Look, look, look now.

Max, my god.

I didn't see it was you at all.

Did you arrange this? That crazy suit too. Bear, this is crazy.

This really is another bizarre Max idea. My god, this is such a good shot.

If those guys didn't wiggle that chair so much....

What are you doing?

Max...

Max.

Oh, wait. Can you film?

Just point it this way, okay?

Doll, doll, doll. Will you marry me?

Oh, no. - You don't?

No, not you. The fucking camera didn't work.

I hadn't turned it on.

Come on, honey. - You got it?

Did you film?

No, you're not filming.

Then press that red button. You can't do anything either. What is this?

You're filming, right?

Movie. - Okay.

Doll, doll. Will you marry me?

Then if you step back a little bit, with that girl there...

Yeah, that's nice. Okay, yeah?

Doll, doll. Will you marry me?

Of course I want to marry you. - She said yes.

Great. She said yes. She said yes.

In an accident people always keep looking too.

Psychologists still don't know why.

Beheadings in the marketplace used to be were a sight for'the whole family.

Can't you even imagine anymore? - Shut up.

? I had a dream so big and loud I jumped so high I touched the clouds?

Hello.

Come on, get out of the way.

On the side.

Today I show you the other side of the pictures everyone thinks they know.

Welcome to me new series: Bali Backstage.

It's one big circus, one big circus.

Then you think you've got'the perfect image, the perfect image.

Just made by a mirror, look.

Fake, all fake. And especially don't forget your number too.

Next pose, next pose. - Look at that crazy woman.

So the Efteling is nothing like it.

And then you get up at three in the morning only to stand in line for hours

for the same picture that everyone takes worldwide. See.

The same picture all over again. Well, I'm in heaven, you know.

What are you doing? You can't do this. - Let go of me, no.

Get off me, stupid bitch.

On the side, hey.

Hello, I'm talking to you.

Hands in the air, party animals.

You are all fake. Everyone is doing the same thing...

Fuck off. I'm not done yet, stupid bitch.

Look at that, you are ruining this island.

No.

Get off me. Yes, it's all right.

Do you think this is her own dress? Well, no way.

You rent your favorite color here for a few minutes of personality.

Hey.

You're ruining my picture.

Find out.

Then you thought you wouldn't have to having to stand in traffic. Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

Excuse me. I have to stop by.

What a misery here in that pussy Bali. Everything is just incredibly fake.

Hello. - Hello.

Let go of me. Do you know how expensive this is?

Figure it out with your temple anyway.

? I hear it calling outside my window?

? I feel it in my soul?

? The stars were burning so bright The sun was out 'til midnight?

? I say we lose control?

Please.

I didn't turn it on. Do you have it? - Let's see.

You are not filming. Press the red button. You can't do anything either.

Romantic, right? You would think.

They did go over it three times before it was so spontaneous.

Nothing is what it seems And I'll show you the truth.

You can see it all on my video, Bali Backstage.

Time to share it with the world.

Now.

Just made by a mirror, look. Fake, all fake.

So she's just a little geeky.

A little bit in how she looks at you, with that little nose like that.

And the things she says.

I don't know. She doesn't realize it herself, but she's a great mom.

She really does everything for those girls.

And in a very strange way, maybe I'm exaggerating

I also find it quite sexy.

You know what we agreed about tourists.

I know, but this is different. This feels different.

When are you going to enjoy yourself again? That's what Sieb would have wanted, too.

Cute Island. Completely finished.

What a cute island.

Here, totally real.

This is what everyone wants to see, isn't it? Have you got your way now?

Hey.

I show the other side of the pictures everyone thinks they know.

I would go after it if I were you. - She's heartbroken.

Just go.

So now I've done it?

Oh, I'll leave you a moment. - Stay.

It is good.

You are right.

They don't want me, but the version I came up with.

Now I don't even know who I really am.

Maybe you should then go find out.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you for everything.

That's what we have a business agreement for that, right?

I have to do it myself.

Are you vacationing alone?

Yes.

No, I'm here with my mother and my sister.

So cozy to do something together.

I thought, cooking is really a family thing. Right?

Yes, how long does it take approximately? - We make lunch and dinner.

Oh, I do have a massage scheduled at the end of the afternoon.

Otherwise, we do lunch alone?

Too bad.

Can you pay? - Yes.

Let's see.

Jen. - Yes?

Shouldn't you take a picture? - I left my phone at the hotel.

Nothing for you. - This one.

Hi.

Okay, thanks.

That smell.

I am reminded right away of Auntie Mouse, that she always made fresh crackers, too.

Yes, and then she used to say:

Please. You've gotten so thin. You have to eat well, you.

You're skinny.

Oh, and have patties. You always like those so much.

No, the patties were for you. I always had the lemper.

Such a shame that Omi never did.

Give here, come here with that thing.

Come, come here.

Dewi. - Jen.

Hey, get a grip. Stop.

Don't throw food.

Hey.

Girls, stop it.

Jen.

Jen.

How did you get this? - I got it. Give it back.

You don't look like that.

That's the necklace... - From Omi.

Crisis.

This is because of you.

Because you took this necklace, that curse has become active again.

No.

Jen. - No.

Yep.

Phoebe.

Really? Phoebe?

That's just a story. Omi made that up.

Is that so? You've been alone Always stayed alone.

I never get beyond a first date

And Jenny has boyfriends, but that's only superficial.

You're happy with Max, aren't you? - It's over with Max.

Ah.

He's getting married to someone else. He no longer felt a connection.

Kassian. He is not worthy of you. - For you, no one is ever good enough.

Now I understand why you get so worked up all the time.

You don't understand anything at all. You just stole this necklace.

You just stole this one. - Give back.

Give back. - No, you're lying. You are a fibber.

Give. He is mine.

Stop that. - Excuse me, can we get back to cooking?

Of course. I didn't raise them that way.

The curse that did nothing until Omi died.

I don't suffer from anything. - Yes.

When Frank brought you home, did you kiss?

No.

Would you have wanted that? - Yes.

Well, exactly. - Wasn't that because you asked him?

What early? - Nothing.

Like you didn't say anything to him. - Well, I mean...

'Don't bother mom, or I'll put the Internet full of bad reviews.'

We thought that he was a shallow man.

You talk to him about me?

Yes. - Yes.

I'm going to get a massage.

We have to get rid of that curse. - Yes.

Have my daughters made sure that you dare not touch me?

Why are you listening to that?

I'm not listening to your daughters. I didn't think you were up to it.

How do you determine that? Why is everyone interfering with me?

My mother walks around me all day long

my daughters talk behind my back about me, you talk in spells.

Why doesn't anyone ask what I want?

Then what do you want? - You.

Yes? - Yes.

Do you want this?

Yes.

Okay.

And this?

Yes.

Do you want...

Do you want this?

? Superlove Gimme some, some, some?

? We are the genius of love?

? Feel like an XX-rated movie star?

? It's the way you love me down?

? It's the way you love me down?

? Every time we kiss you bring out the woman in me?

No. - What?

Wait, wait. - What is it?

I have to finish something, otherwise the neighbor can't go to work.

Seriously.

Please? - Hey.

It must. - No. Hey.

If you want to take a dip, the towels are over there.

There. - Come on back here.

It really should. - No.

Hey. - Hey, Bart.

The curse has finally been given up. - No, how good.

Yes, I am so happy.

You earned it, your great love.

Everyone deserves a great love, right? - Yes, so do you.

Have you found someone yet?

Perhaps.

O? Tell?

She is special and she should realize it herself a little more often.

Only she doesn't fall for tour guides, so....

Maybe she's falling for life coaches.

They seem to be quite fun at'the end of the journey.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't throw stuff into the valley.

You guys threw it away? - Crisis, that thing.

And you seriously thought that would help?

Yes, Jenny thought...

Yes, I thought that would work.

Well, so there is a dukun and she makes offerings to Dewi Danu.

I think she can help you.

I found her Under the waterfall of the two sisters.

This dukun... - Okay, let's do that then.

Yes, but ho. Wait a minute, she said one important thing.

You must be with your mother.

Again, no sex.

Well, Mom.

We're going to do something about that.

What do you mean "no sex again"? You never have sex, do you?

In fact, why not?

Girls, you shouldn't, should you?

Nothing has to, but I've always wondered anyway.

I just never felt such a need for that.

And I didn't want you coming down coming down the stairs in your little pajamas

that I was sitting there at the breakfast table with some strange man.

You had already been through so much.

So the three of us stayed.

But we have been out of the house for years.

Never been on a date?

Not really.

And now with Frank suddenly making sense?

After all these years in bed by yourself?

Yes.

Mom, do you remember how to do it? Shall we explain the do's and don'ts?

Or should I educate you? Mom.

No thanks.

I do wonder How long you haven't had sex, mom.

What is that dukun going to do then? Is she going to touch my tits?

Mom, a little respect. - Would you mind?

It's a trick to squeeze out Hollanders.

Mom, a dukun sees things, feels things. More than you can imagine.

Okay, then I will soon think Frank on a surfboard.

Is that dukun going to feel that? - Yes, come on.

I don't believe it at all.

Sit down.

What are you doing? - Just making sure it's not a quack.

Don't challenge me, lady.

Don't think about waves

surf

And a large, naked man.

Love is broken.

No connection.

This curse is from Dewi Danu.

The goddess of water.

She lives in the waterfall.

You have to jump in.

Purify your souls.

Only then

the curse will disappear.

Sitting.

No secrets in the family.

If you are full of lies

Will Danu...

Go, go. - Crisis.

Go.

Come, Mom.

Hey, Mom.

Don't be afraid. - It seems higher than it is.

I have something to confess.

When you went to stay with Omi I I sometimes had men over.

Only they never stayed. And now I very much want Frank to stay.

Will be fine.

Okay, wait.

I did not get this necklace. I found it and took it with me.

I knew it. - Yes...

I felt quite alone and I've never really been in love before.

I was afraid you guys wouldn't believe me with that curse.

Sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't see that.

Sometimes you just don't say things because they are too painful.

Was Auntie Mouse right after all.

Okay.

Okay, are you coming?

Okay.

Three, two...

No, stop. Wait.

I also lied. I paid for this whole trip myself.

My management dumped me and so there is no sponsorship deal at all.

I just wanted that you could be proud of me.

On what I do And that you take me seriously.

I am very proud of you, lol. I read all your posts.

I know that too. You also like them all.

I'm done with social media. I don't want to not pretend otherwise in front of the whole world.

I would love to bond with you.

Come, baby.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Mom.

A letter, a letter.

What?

Is that...

Dear Iskandar...

O.

After two months on a boat we arrived in the Netherlands.

For the first time, I saw snow and ice.

I wish You were here with me, you know.

Then we could laugh at those Belandas

On their shoes with iron underneath.

Every day I look at That beautiful necklace you gave me

And then all I can think about is you.

Oh, Omi.

Ah, gosh.

That's special, isn't it?

No, he belongs here.

Yes, sweethearts. Yes, girls.

So it worked out? - Yes.

Yes.

Goena goena?

Do you have another tile? - Do you want another one? Really?

Okay...

Where there is life, there is love.

Aww...

Adoe, nonja.

Mom.

I'm happy for you guys.

Maybe you should ask your mother If she will leave us alone.

Just pretend I'm not here. Tell him that.

I guess I'm ready to saying goodbye.

So you have become become a little superstitious.

A little privacy seems nice, yes.

Jenny. - Hon.

You go totally viral in Asia and America.

You're a hit. Over a million followers.

I wouldn't know. I don't have a phone anymore.

Yes, show. - Nothing is as it seems.

Crisis. - It's not normal, is it?

With this format, you can just travel all over the world.

Yes. - Oh, wait.

There are plenty of places to unwind.

Sorry, seriously imagine

that I'm going to travel the world like some harassment vlogger?

That's good money, you know. Especially if we do it together, lol.

Together?

We were having a pretty good time together, weren't we?

Sorry, what are you saying?

Pff, golddigger. - Honey...

That ugly ring of yours, you can keep it.

That's a very expensive ring, isn't it? - Yes, I'm sure it is.

Karma is a bitch, Bear.

Karma?

Shall we, then?

What do you think?

Yes? Really?

She said yes. She said yes.

She said yes.

No.

No? - No. Have fun with your life.

Day.

Yes, but see you soon. Right, baby?

Puppet.

Hey. Doll, come's.

Come's, I'll buy a new ring. One more. Two, three, four, say.

Neeltje, we don't need limp bean sprouts, do we?

No, no. Shorter than two minutes.

Very weak. But here, taste.

Why so small?

Do you want a little taste? - No, yuck.

Long enough?

Hey. - Yeah, top.

Hey.

That's unexpected.

I got an app. - From whom?

Come.

Glad you're here.

I am so happy that we are together for Omi's selametan

which we really should have done on her 40th death anniversary should have done, but

jam karet.

Jam karet.

Goodbyes know no time.

And yes, although our family story

determined by history largely

from now on we are going to decide for ourselves how we tell our story.

Dear Omi, there you go.

We put a chair in front of you

And kept a plate free for you.

In our hearts you will always be with us.

Well, guys. - She likes an egg like that, too. Yeah.

She likes egg very much.

Selametan.

Well Omi, if you are ready for it

you may begin your journey.

Selamat jalan.
