Shape of the Moon (Stand van de maan)
In this follow up to The Eye of the Day (AFF 03), Leonard Retel Helmrich again visits Indonesia through three generations in one family. Rumidjah, a 62 year-old widow, lives in Jakarta, with her son Bakti and her granddaughter Tari. Since the fall of Suharto, she has witnessed the country pass through a period of socio-political chaos. Islam, Indonesia's largest religion, is trying to maintain order and discipline, while becoming increasingly fundamentalist in its tone.
