Synopsis:
In the constant stream of hoping, failing and making new plans, Denok and Gareng stay united in their passionate struggle to make it up the hill one day. In the modest house of Gareng’s mum, the young Muslim couple start a pig business, looking for the lucky streak to come over the family. but new challenges constantly arise, putting their cheerfulness and patience on trial.
In an entirely observational approach, Denok and Gareng explores a strong loving relationship inside a strikingly vivid family that sticks together, fights back and laughs, about what others would call a Sisyphus fate.
I want to place Denok and Gareng into the centre of our perception, because their existence is hardly looked at when we pass by says Director Dwi Sujanti Nugraheni. She was born and raised in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In 2008, she participated in the Cinema Capacity Building Program ‘Indonesis - Ten Years After Reformasi’ proposed by the Goethe Institut Indonesien and The Jakarta Arts Council. DENOK and GARENG was developed in this program.
