CGiii Comment

A one-take telephone conversation...with a vast array of dildoes and a jock-strapped lad who doesn't know what planet he's one.

It's really not as exciting as it sounds.

The(ir) Blurb...

Budi is an Indonesian, in-the-closet, prodigal son, living in the Netherlands whose relationship with his family is far from ideal. In The Netherlands by himself, he managed to own an AirBnB Apartment to rent. One day, after he had a wild party in his AirBnB, his AirBnB guests tell him that they are about to arrive in 20 minutes while his AirBnB is still a big mess. Additionally, one of the guests (Henk) is still in Budi's apartment, high as a kite. The plot thickens when at the same time, Budi receives a call from his brother in Indonesia and tells him that his father is in a hospital and refuses medical treatment in Indonesia. Budi has to deal with everything in 20 minutes.
