For 12 years, Leonard Retel Helmrich filmed the day-to-day life of an Indonesian family in the Jakarta slums. This is the third part of the celebrated trilogy, taking the viewer even deeper into the meanders of Indonesian social reality: corruption, religious conflict, impact of globalisation, intergenerational conflicts and the widening gap between rich and poor. A revolutionary cinematographic approach between metaphor and realism. With no interviews or voiceover, Position Among the Stars uses its amazing filming techniques to immerse the viewer in Indonesia as never before.
