I Am Hope

...and so the princess cried, and cried, all alone.

Then came a bright light, and the bright light magically turned into a woman.

"Who are you?" said the princess.

"I'm the rainbow girl."

And so she transformed, beautiful, isn't she?

BOOK OF FAIRY TALES

My name is Mia, I'm a dreamer.

I believe every dream can become a reality.

Since I was little, I've always loved the performing arts.

Yeah, just like Mom.

Mom is a writer and a theater director.

The thing I admire the most about her,

is that she can inspire people.

Okay, cut...

I don't feel like you're really connecting with each other,

I'd like to see more chemistry between you both.

Do you feel this? This is what I mean.

Dad...

Dad is a musician,

and a great composer.

Do you want to sing?

-What do you want to sing? "Twinkle"? -"Twinkle."

And this is Maia.

She's always there for me, whenever I need her.

-Mia. -Come here.

Come on.

So here we are, living happily,

just like in the fairy tales Mom read to me before bedtime.

They would always bring color and happiness to my dreams.

May you live a long life

Wishing you good health and well-being

-Okay. -Yeah!

But, sometimes I would get nightmares,

and my worst nightmare was when my Mom was diagnosed with cancer.

And I was helpless to do anything about it.

Since then,

Maia has been there for me more.

Raja, how can we use something like this?

Perhaps he's just not inspired enough?

Inspiration can come from anywhere.

Sorry.

Struggle, sadness,

if we listen to our feelings, the inspiration will find itself.

Redo this. It's unacceptable!

-Thank you. -Dad.

-Dad has lost his touch. -Okay?

It's usually good.

But still, he tries to stand on his own two feet through life.

Hello? So, do you want to buy it?

But 100 million Rupiah is already very cheap.

One by one...

we are forced to give it up.

-Everything we have. -Please.

But just as with everything in life,

our nightmares must eventually come to an end.

Yeah.

We lost Mom.

And with the strength we have left,

we try to rebuild our lives and continue to pursue our dreams.

Because, we still have hope.

Be careful.

Thank you, darling.

Look at this.

Whoa... Rama Sastra, what's that?

Ready to bring his show to Milan?

He's cool, right!

Yeah, he's cool.

You made the right choice to work with him.

He was trying so hard to work with me back then.

Yeah, he still had much to learn.

Your coughing never ends.

Don't forget to pick up your results from the hospital.

Okay.

Stop here!

So, here's the thing.

Your X-ray shows...

There's a few things you need to know.

Hmm... Do you smoke?

No!

Good.

So, there are a few things I suspect...

It's a...

an active tumor cell.

As you can see, there are spots

on your lymph nodes.

It's well-developed.

Can you feel this?

I want you to wear the bracelet.

Don't be afraid of failure.

Whenever you're afraid, I want you to look at this bracelet.

Where there is courage,

there is hope.

Let's go there.

Don't leave.

I'm not going anywhere.

I will always be right here,

in your heart.

Happy birthday, Mia Ismaya

May you live a long life

My daughter

Wishing you a prosperous life

We wish you happiness

May you live a long life

Mia Ismaya

Now, you sit there.

Sit here, darling.

Before we blow out your candles,

there is something you need to know.

Guess what it is?

Well...

This will be the best present you ever receive in your life.

We. Got. The. Show!

-Now, blow out the candles! -Blow!

You don't have the heart to tell him, do you?

I don't know where to start.

Come join me, darling.

Let's sing.

You must know this song.

When the rain comes

The sky will not always be gray

For today

I can be

So happy

The Jungle and everything living there All sing along

Making today cheerful

The world is full of peace

The stars glow humorously

As if they know...

What's wrong, darling?

-Dad... -Hmm?

Huh?

-I've got... It's cancer. -No...

No...

No!

No!

No, you can't!

No!

Darling!

Mia...

There are two types of lung cancer.

One is NSCLC, or non-small cell lung cancer,

and also SCLC, or small cell lung cancer.

NSCLC is the most common

and it's not as aggressive as SCLC.

Doc, sorry... So here's the thing.

I've got a theater project coming up...

and I need a year to finish it.

Is it possible?

Mia...

Listen, Mia...

You must concentrate on your medication.

This is very serious.

You have to put more focus on your health.

Listen to the doctor.

Understand?

All right, Dad, I'm going to the toilet.

Really? Can't it wait?

No, it can't.

She wants to make her medication a priority for now,

so regretfully, her involvement in this project...

is cancelled.

Okay?

I hope we can rearrange for the future.

Thank you.

You should have spoken to me first.

What do you think?

You mean about Dad?

I don't want to do chemo.

If I use up four months of the eight I have left

and there's no progress at all.

I will have wasted the time I could have spent trying to make Dad happy.

Mia, If you don't do your chemo,

Dad will think you've given up on life, and on him.

If you spend those four months doing chemo,

you'll have more than eight months.

So what are you wasting?

THE FIRST MONTH

Mia Abdinegara!

Mia Abdinegara!

Mia Abdinegara.

Are you new?

Yes.

The first, second and third are very painful...

but the fourth, will be okay.

How come?

Pray.

THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR MADINA

Hey...

Mia.

Here.

Drink, darling.

What if I only have eight months left?

So?

Even Mom didn't make it more than a year.

But you're not Mom.

If I really only have eight months to live,

I don't want to die like this!

You're not going to die in eight months.

How can you know that?

Well, no one can know.
