ABOUT cin(T)a
Cina (Sunny Soon), an 18 year-old college freshmen, was ready to conquer the world with a strong, yet naïve, faith since it had never been tested by failure. Annisa (Saira Jihan) is a 24 year-old college senior whose education was held back because of her career in the movie industry. Her fame and beauty left her so lonely that she drew a sad face on her finger as her companion. Until one day, another 'finger' came and she was no longer lonely.
(T) is the most unpredictable character. Everybody tries to describe Him. Everybody thinks they know Him. Every art tries to figure Him. But nothing is really like Him...or Her? (T) loves Cina and Annisa, but Cina and Annisa could not love each other because they call (T) by different names.
The growth of Indonesian filmmaking in recent years has seen the theme of love reduced to a level that is too often exploited and simplified. With a 'love' story that is seen through a different 'lens', cin(T)a serves up a menu of various dialogues that peals apart the differences with honesty and wit. In reality, it is the acknowledgement and working through of our differences that spur our world moving forward, our differences must not be a reason for us to obstruct each other. Sammaria and Sally Anom Sari, the scriptwriters, wrote a simple story, yet evocative of the multi-cultural conditions of Indonesia.
cin(T)a tells an everyday story that no other movie dares to tell.

ABOUT SAMMARIA SIMANJUNTAK (Director)

Sammaria went to an architecture school and enjoyed more exposure to various cultures of the world. After enjoying a year of a secure life as an architect, she realized that movie making is her personal destiny. She decided to give faith a fighting chance and pursued her dream.
