About The Sexy City
Poppy is surprised to find how hard it is to live in Jakarta. She works at a bar owned by Uncle Reno. Luckily, Poppy meets Stella, who teaches her to take care of herself, since she has a nightlife job. Then Poppy meets Nanda, her best friend in junior high school, who is now a heroin junkie. Meanwhile, Stella is about to be sold abroad by her own mother, Prita, to pay off gambling debts. So Stella, Poppy, and Nanda sell every valuable thing they own to raise the cash. In desperation Poppy meets Bono, who proposes to sell her virginity.
Directed by Helfi C.H. Kardit, The Sexy City leans on a strong ensemble — Ardina Rasti, Michella Adlen, Jamsa Pradjasasmitha — 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 drama titles of 2010.
