One of her song numbers leads to a chance encounter with Lisa, a determined journalist, and the two become a hot item in Jakartas lesbian party scene. But when Sari is forced to flee from the after effects of Suharto's dictatorship, the two must adapt their love to conform to the pressures of survival and migration.
