- Denok and Gareng met when they were both living on the streets of the Indonesian city of Jogjakarta. Denok was 14 when she ran away from home and fell pregnant with her daughter. She met Gareng in 2005. They married and moved in with Gareng's parents in a small village on the outskirts of Jogjakarta. The film observes the daily lives of the couple and their family.
