A Trip to Bangka

HERI (55) takes his daughter, FEMI (23) for a vacation to his hometown, the town of Bangka. He wants to show her the city that introduced him to Bakmi Bangka (a type of noodle dish), a dish that they sell in their family owned noodle shop in Jakarta. This is an important trip for Femi, as she is destined to inherit the shop when Heri retires. Femi is forced to go, even though she doesn’t want to. In fact, she has no interest in taking over the noodle shop.
