Me Before Me (Aku Sebelum Aku)

Go on. Lower it, lower it.

Yes, the pulley. The pulley.

The one on the right. The rope.

The rope is jammed, sir!

Hey, it can be done. Lower it.

Lower it. Be careful, it's expensive.

Hey, the handle isn't balanced!

Be careful, sir.

WEST JAVA SCIENCE COMPETITION CHAMPION ON TO THE NATIONAL LEVEL

- Hey, hey, careful! - Jati's here.

- Yay, Jati. - Wow, Jati.

He's a science champion. He's so good.

- What's that? - Hey, just leave it to me, sir.

- Can you hear me? - Yes, I heard you.

Okay, great. Listen to me, okay?

Shift it a little to the left. No, to your right. Okay.

That's it. Yeah, a little more.

Keep going.

-Okay, okay. Hold. - Enough. Okay.

-Enough. - Now that's great. Don't move.

Sir, Jati's here.

- - Hey, Jati!

Congratulations! You were great!

The champion of West Java.

I'd like to take this moment to congratulate the cabaret team.

They recently won first prize in the Bandung cabaret competition.

And now, the pride of our school.

Jati Ilhami.

Come on up, Jati.

Up you come, Jati.

He's made history by being the first student

of SMP Bandung Raya

to qualify for a competition in science held across the nation.

- -Jati, you are a champion.

All right, Jati,

say a few words.

Come on.

Jati's amazing!

- Huh? What's up with you? -Hey!

- Just say something. - Don't be shy.

Come on, hurry up. We have a test.

Calm down now.

Don't put down the trophy, Jati.

Oh, dear.

Jati.

Focus, Jati. I'm proud of you.

No one has achieved more than you.

Hey Jat.

What's the problem?

Your future now lies at the national level.

You can shine the brightest.

All you need now is…

All you need to know is you can do it, Jati.

What is it? Jati.

- Jat. - Why is he running away?

1ST PLACE

LITERACY ROOM

-Jat. -

Uh, what's the matter?

Huh?

It's okay. It's okay.

In Allah's name. Deep breaths.

Just breathe, okay?

Jati.

What's the problem?

Didn't you just win a competition?

You should be happy. You only panic when you lose.

So what's this panic all about, hmm?

I just panicked.

There's no temperature.

Oh, maybe it's because you're not praying regularly.

-I often see you around dawn… -When have I ever missed a prayer?

You often miss the dawn prayer,

which is why when you wake, pray first, then food and shower.

-Okay. -It's the way to do it.

Now I am tired.

I see you're very tired.

How many times have I told you, you look exhausted?

And wear a jacket.

You're a champion, and no one knows you better than me.

Ah. Just a second.

Hello, madam.

Ah, yes. I'll be there. Okay.

I'll meet you at City Hall. Yes.

Okay, I'll be there very soon.

Jati! Hey!

Let's go!

- - Sorry to have kept you waiting.

- That's all right. - Please, let me help you.

- No, it's fine. It's quite heavy. - Please, let me take it.

Thank you so much.

In fact, it's our hotel's philosophy.

Guests aren't kings, they're family.

That's our belief.

Thank you so much, sir.

So, I decided to resign from my office job in Jakarta.

Then we all moved back to Bandung as a family.

Ma'am, I believe life has felt more harmonious since then.

Oh my goodness, you're making me feel like a terrible parent.

Maybe I feel this way

because I grew up without a father.

And as a result, I want my son, Jati,

to have his father with him all the time.

As Allah wills it.

I want my child to be a success, you see.

Because when you're a successful person,

you're also likely to be happy.

- I'm grateful. - You're right.

Thank you very much. We'll have everything sorted in a moment.

-Thank you. -Thank you very much.

Mr. Uyan. I'm sorry.

Listen when I tell you something.

- What took you so long to get home? -I was being efficient.

- Welcome, ma'am. -Uh, please, ma'am, come in.

Right this way.

Sir.

How are you feeling?

-Mom, I feel fine. -Dizzy? In pain?

-Are you nauseous? -No!

Do you want something to eat?

ME BEFORE ME

Everyone! Let's go!

Come on, come on.

Come on, pick up the pace! Keep going!

- - Come on, Jati!

You can do it! Go, Jat!

Come on! Go!

Come on, Jati!

Yes, keep going!

Hey!

-Whoo! -Great, Jati!

Well done!

-Where did I finish? -Sixth. Good job.

-Well done, Jat. -Where's my father?

-I'll just go find him, sir. -Oh, sure, sure, sure.

-Thanks. - Hey!

Good boys.

Jati.

Honestly…

Losing earlier, were you actually pleased?

Or were you just pretending for your teacher?

Hmm?

Jat.

Come here.

Sit over there.

Come on, sit there.

Jat.

You know what?

When I sit in that chair, do you know what I see every day?

Hmm?

There, look. Hey.

Look at this.

These are all the trophies that you've won.

And look, all these photos of you as a winner.

This is what I look at.

I know it was hard for you to achieve all that.

It's really hard. Sure.

And these are the things that encourage me to work hard.

I do it for you, Jat.

This room might look small, Jat,

but it's all right.

I don't mind being in this small room.

But it's not for you. No way.

I want you to have much broader horizons.

In the future, you should have every opportunity available to you.

This was just a running race. You're going on as if it matters.

That's right, Jat. You ran a running race.

Just a race.

But you need to focus on something more important.
