Bukan Cerita Cinta Cliche

The story follows Emmel, a prolific writer who specializes in writing love stories. Her scripts receive warm reception from both audiences and publishers. Ironically, in her real life, Emmel has no love life. She has been living solo for 10 years, almost forgetting what it feels like to have a partner or relationship commitment. This status often makes Emmel the subject of ridicule from her office colleagues who label her as a woman who is all talk and dreams, because she writes many love stories but doesn't have love in her own life.

Directed by Faizal Nadxaman, Bukan Cerita Cinta Cliche leans on a strong ensemble — Mimi Lana, Syafiq Kyle, Aliff Aziz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2021.
