Film: Ca-Bau-Kan

Adopted from critically acclaimed author Remy Sylado's bestselling novel. Sylado is guest of this festival.
Ca Bau Kan - The Movie is the tale of one woman's quest for truth - a truth both painful and poignant, but ultimately, liberating. The story revolves around an Indonesian woman's discovery that her mother was a native Ca Bau Kan ('woman' in Hakka Chinese) and her father a Chinese trader. Her parents' love story - unfolding against the turbulent backdrop of the Dutch and Japanese colonization of Indonesia - forms the heart of the film.
