Storyline

Irama Betawi is the name of an ondel-ondel group that still actively busks in Jakarta. Sometimes they busk on the streets. Other times, they are invited to play on special occasions. Through their journey taking public transportation to move from one corner of the city to another crowded corner, we get to know the day-to-day life of a dynamic group of people who are eager to make a living.
