Chika

The teenage Chika feels empty after the death of her parents. Her older sibling is busy with her career and then her boyfriend breaks up with her. But Chika’s life starts to change when she meets Yoza. Chika accidentally destroys Yoza’s handycam, causing him to get hit by a taxi and hospitalized, thus causing him to cancel his departure to New York. Yoza dreams of becoming a filmmaker and he keeps asking her to replace his handycam. Chika is annoyed and confused because of his unpredictable attitude. Behind it all, Yoza keeps a secret that neither Chika nor anyone knows.

Directed by Rocky Soraya, Chika leans on a strong ensemble — Sharon Jessica, Muhammad Fardhan, Aditya Firmansyah — 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 2008.
