Jam Aju Tanpa Jarum

# Aju's Clockless Clock The story of a child named Aju, a quiet and introverted character who prefers to isolate himself. However, beneath his demeanor lies a special talent—he is skilled at making and carving various clock designs from wooden pieces for sale at Nida's shop. Interestingly, every clock made by Aju is always made without hands. Some have questioned this, but Aju remains steadfast in his decision to keep it that way. Meanwhile, Boy, a new friend who lives opposite Aju's house, asks Arman, Aju's father, why Aju makes clocks without hands. Aju then confides that his purpose in making clockless clocks is because he is following his late mother's wish that the passage of time is under our own control and not controlled by others. The closeness between Amran, a widower, and Nida, Boy's single mother, makes Aju angry to the point where he runs away from home.

Directed by Rahila Ali, Jam Aju Tanpa Jarum leans on a strong ensemble — Beto Kusyairy, Uqasha Senrose, Fazli Daniel — 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 2017.
