Plot

The film tells the story of Salma and Nathan at the college level. Salma is a student majoring in Indonesian Literature. While Nathan is a student majoring in engineering. The romantic story of Nathan and Salma is colored by their respective activities in the world of social activism. However, the two differ in principles and opinions. Salma is more inclined to actively speak digitally, while Nathan prefers to take to the streets or what is commonly known as Demo. Salma disagrees with what Nathan did because he endangered his own safety. But Nathan still wanted to be active in student demonstration activities. This difference makes their relationship tenuous.

Once upon a time, Nathan's classmate on campus became a victim of sexual harassment by his own friend. The father of the abuser was a leader on campus. This made Zanna (the abuse victim) afraid to report the case. He chose to remain silent and joined the Love Your Self community which led him to meet Rebbeca, Nathan's friend in high school. After knowing what Zanna had experienced, Rebecca immediately asked Nathan for help in resolving the case so that Zanna would get justice and be able to forget her trauma. Nathan is a figure who upholds justice, he also agrees to help solve the case.

In solving this case, Nathan must protect Zanna's privacy by keeping the harassment case a secret. Without exception, Salma did not know about the case. This made Salma suspicious. At the same time, Salma is idolizing her older brother who is also a musician, his name is Afkar. Every day they are getting closer.

On Salma's birthday, she invited Afkar to come to her birthday party. During the event, Nathan was surprised to see the closeness of Salma and Afkar, who could be considered too close as friends. Nathan was consumed with jealousy, he rushed home and did not give Salma a present that night. In the end, to avoid misunderstandings from happening, Salma intended to bring Nathan together with Afkar. The three of them finally met and talked to each other. Nathan was also able to accept the existence of Afkar who had become his close friend now. And they are finally friends. Since Afkar arrived, Nathan's challenges have increased. He must look better than Afkar in front of Salma. Plus Salma also demands Nathan to become someone more mature. And he has to convince Salma more that he really loves Salma.

The ending of this film is Nathan, Rebecca, Salma and Afkar helping each other to solve Zanna's problem. They also began to collect strong evidence so that their demands were to remove the harasser from the campus so that Zanna could study safely and get rid of her fear of still meeting the perpetrator. But the harasser even threatened Zanna if he reported himself to the campus. He threatened that Zanna's scholarship would be revoked if she really reported the case. Finally, Zanna mustered up the courage to speak up to the campus, of course, with the help of her friends. The result of the trial was that Zanna's report was accepted and will be processed by the campus, Zanna also did not lose her scholarship. But Zanna's request to expel the harasser from the campus was not approved, considering that the perpetrator's father was the leader of the campus. Zanna did not accept this either. After further discussion with other leaders, the perpetrator's father felt embarrassed when he found out that his son was behaving inappropriately. Finally, the father of the harasser agreed to have his son transferred to another campus for Zanna's convenience. Meanwhile, Salma's relationship with Nathan is much better than before and more romantic. [3]
