The Key to the Past

The Manggarai Water Gate is a silent witness, absorbing the traces of time that flow with it. It reflects the two eras of colonialism and independence, like a wound that never fully heals, like a current that never stands still. On its banks, two teenagers read the city from what is left behind: drifting trash, fragments of memories, and whispers of change.
