“Pai Kau” is quite a different film that the other Indonesian ones we have seen in the west, since it deals with the Chinese minority in the country, in an effort that functions much like a soap opera, despite a number of elements that point to other directions.
“Pai Kau” screened at Osaka Asian Film Festival 2018
Lucy is the daughter of an important businessman and she is about to get married to Edy. This is their perfect moment and she has prepared the wedding of her dreams. However, her father is actually a mafia guy and has an “assistant” always willing to do his dirty job, and Edy is an uncurable womanizer, with the later being unbeknownst to Lucy. During the wedding, Edy’s past comes knocking at his door in the form of an ex-girlfriend, Siska, who plots her way into the wedding, with a truly villainous plan in her head.
