Review
While I anticipate 'Of Love and Eggs' will be too slow for many, if not most, viewers, others will find value in its humanity. Set in a working-class Muslim neighborhood in Jakarta, Indonesia, the film revolves around the lives of three children.
After a short introduction by Rindu (Raisa Pramesi), a deaf girl, the film opens with Bimo's story. Bimo (Sakurta H. Ginting) lives and works with his older brother, Seno, as an egg seller in the shop opened by their mother who is now deceased (along with their father). He longs for the love of a mother and in trying to win over the young woman who lives across the street and also happens to like his brother provides the comedic moments in the film.
The film then moves on to Asih (Putri Mulia) whose mother left her and her father to presumably escape the abuse from Asih's father. Asih struggles with the loss of her mother.
Most poignant of all is Rindu's story and her reaction to the fundamentalists'...
