Ananta

Life is like a blank paper...

...and the paint brush are your actions.

And these colorful paints...

...are our feelings.

Sadness.

Anger.

Disappointment.

Happiness.

Back then, the only colors I knew were black, white, and Grey.

Until the day...

...he slipped into my life.

Teh, do you want to have lunch?

The "Burnt Rice" is ready.

"Ananta"

Can anybody tell me what "art" is?

You're so quiet.

Answer my question!

Art is something to appreciate.

Like Ice Cendol?

Is Ramen also an art?

And do you think the garden outside is also art?

Think before you answer.

I think they are art too.

According to Ki Hajar Dewantara...

...art is a creation mimicking nature...

...using creativity and interpretation...

...to make them look more beautiful.

Tania?

Do you think you're an artist?

There's nothing to brag about this stupid sketch.

Tell me, what do you think art is?

I knew it.

You can't answer the question.

Because kids like you are all about showing off,

pretending to be cool, smug, but no brains at all.

According to Schopenhauer,

art is an act to try to recreate something beautiful.

According to Thomas Munro,

art is a man-made tool used to stimulate a psychological effect...

...to another person, such as observing,

introduction, rational and emotional imagination.

-According to... -Stop!

Stop.

That's enough.

And you're wrong.

According to Ki Hajar Dewantara,

art is a recreation of something...

...that is already beautiful and makes people want to look, listen,

or even eat them.

That means Ramen or Ice Cendol are also art.

I think the school's gardener could be an artist.

Be quiet!

What Tania did in my class was intended to humiliate me.

She disrespected me in front of my own class.

They laughed at me, and she didn't even answer my question.

Are you sketching a soccer player playing ball?

They're balloons.

Yes, balloons.

I promise, it won't happen again in the future.

But you still have to punish her.

She has to take responsibility of what she said in your class.

I'll discuss about that in the teacher's meeting.

Please, don't expel Tania.

I think she can continue her studies in this school.

I know she will change.

What did you do that made you have to go to the principal's office?

She looks so angry, Teh.

Teh? I'm not a tea.

Teh is short word for Teteh.

How dare you talk to me like that?

Watch your language!

It's "Teteh" with an "H".

It means sister in Sundanese.

Tania, come inside.

Ananta Prahadi?

You may go into the office.

Tania! Tania!

Tania!

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Miss Tania, I'm bringing you your Burnt Rice.

See?

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Are you out of your mind?

Mom is ill because of you.

What do you want?

You've already skipped school for five days.

And you won't leave your room, and you don't...

Blue.

Wind.

Birds.

Tania, stop playing around!

If you keep doing this, someday, you're going to regret it.

You're disappointing Mom, and that means Dad too.

Here comes the weird girl.

Hey, Teh Tatan. Where have you been? I...

I didn't believe it when they said you're as fierce as a tiger.

Well, now I do.

Today, we're going to learn the two types of music.

First, traditional music, and...

I'm sorry, Teh.

I chose this desk.

I tried looking for another desk,

but this is the only one that is empty.

If I insisted on a three-seater, it would be like sitting in a bajaj .

Don't cross the line.

Thank God.

Thank you, Teh Tatan.

We haven't properly met.

I'm Ananta Prahadi.

You can call me Anta.

Listen to me carefully.

Don't call me Teteh...

...or Tatan.

Don't talk, especially to me.

-But, Teh... -Shut up!

Shut up!

Nobody move, quiet...

...and silent.

Not a word.

Everyone, freeze in their places!

Everyone, silent.

Ready to listen to the Arts and Culture lecture.

It's a poem by Ananta and Tania...

...for Miss Teacher.

That was a great poem. Let's applaud.

That was cool.

Do you want to have lunch with me?

I'm a transfer student from Subang.

I came to Jakarta to look for new experiences and challenges.

Who?

Me. Ananta.

I don't care.

But I just wanted to tell you. It's okay if you just listen.

You don't need to have a conversation with me.

I rent a room to minimize my expenses.

I cook my own food too.

Do you want to try my cooking?

Why?

Because if we share our bounty, God will give us rewards.

Why a person like you, who has suddenly come into my life?

It's destiny.

I believe there's a reason from God for bringing us together.

We found each other by destiny.

Where are you going? You haven't tried my kangkung.

I have salted fish too. It's best when eaten with burnt rice.

What did you say?

"Where are you going?"

"I have salted fish and..."

Not that. You said you have burnt rice.

I have burnt rice.

Burnt rice and potatoes in chili sauce.

Can he have some too?

Can I?

Burnt rice with sauteed tempeh and green chili.

Burnt rice with salted eggs.

Burnt rice with egg rendang.

Happy birthday, Tania!

Happy birthday, Tania.

Happy birthday, Tania.

-Happy birthday. -Actually, it's not...

I told them it's your birthday.

Happy Birthday, Teh Tatan.

Good morning, guys.

I'm leaving for school.

It's not like her to be happy going to school.

Anta, why are you so kind to me?

Because I know you are actually a good person.

Though I know many of them, don't get your imagination be active.

And you do?

How come?

From the look in your eyes.

Your eyes glow with passion.

They're clear, representing your wildest...

Hey! You're rambling!

But it's true. The eyes are the windows of your soul.

How do you know if I have an active imagination?

Take a look at this.

Although I don't know much about drawings...

...your drawings attract me.

They're mysterious, imaginative, unpredictable.

Like a puzzle with a prize.

So I think each of your drawings are valuable.

What value?

I mean, if you sell them, people would pay for them.

So you sold my drawings?

Some of them, yeah.

Where do you think I got the money for making burnt rice?

The money from my parents won't be enough for that.

Red pepper is expensive, the shallots too.

The price of rice is fluctuating.

And we're not even talking about the price of beef for the rendang.

Teh...

Please...don't be mad.

Okay, if you want to hit me, go ahead.

I will let you hit me, but please don't be mad at me.

What if I show you my collection?

Can I open my eyes now?

I didn't tell you to close your eyes.

I want it to be a surprise. It's romantic.
