Aku Yang Kau Tinggalkan

The marriage bond between Nia and Zaril Ikhwan is not based on love. Nia needs money to help her family, while Zaril Ikhwan needs someone to care for him during his illness. While caring for Zaril Ikhwan, Nia gradually falls in love with her own husband. Secretly, she hopes their marriage will last a lifetime. However, due to a misunderstanding, Nia is cast aside as soon as Zaril Ikhwan fully recovers. Nia leaves Zaril Ikhwan with a broken heart and goes to Turin to continue her life alone on foreign soil for many years. Fate determines that they meet again in Turin, Italy, which triggers feelings of hatred, anger and resentment that have been buried in both their hearts. Although there is still resentment and secrets harbored within, in order to move forward with life, an official separation is the best path for them both. There is no need to blame fate even though Nia and Zaril Ikhwan each feel that they have truly been abandoned. What is the secret that is being harbored?

Directed by Azri Iskandar, Aku Yang Kau Tinggalkan leans on a strong ensemble — Ungku Ismail Aziz, Elizad Sharifuddin, Natasya Mahyan — 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 2019.
