In the Words of Firman

FIRMAN, a closeted Indonesian actor, struggles to maintain his 'straight' image during a movie interview. When pressed about harassment allegations by KENNY, his trans friend, against his co-star JONI, he faces a dilemma: protect his career or stand by his fellow queer friend, risking exposure and the truth he fears.
