Shall we go there? Come.

London, baby.

- A text from your mum, babe.
- I'll read it later.

You're so pretty.

Sweetheart.

Honey, another text.

Hi.

This is fun. Yeah.

Matching colours.

Who's Doedie?

We've got to go home.

Come.

Good luck. See you in a bit.

You really have to do this together, babe.

As a family.

Mum.

Jen, seriously? A selfie?

A griefie.

Mum.

Bye, Omi.

Mum, what are you going to do
with the urn?

I hadn't thought about that yet.

We could take her home.

To her real home, to Indonesia.

No. She never talked about it.

All the more reason.

I want to know what it was like there.
How she used to live.

Don't you?

Let me know when you have the urn.
I'll take a picture.

- Sure, honey.
- But Mum, seriously.

Bali. Scatter Omi's ashes in Bali.

Bali, yes. Mum?

No, she wouldn't have wanted that.

A trip could bring us closer.

- That's what you want, isn't it?
- Yeah.

I can already see the hashtags.
Bali with the girls. Love granny.

Right. Mourning under a waterfall,
both wearing a bikini.

And I'm the bitch?
Mum, do you see what she's doing?

- Jen.
- Girls.

Eat. Here. Lemper, spekkoek.

- Nice.
- And where will the slametan be?

We're not doing that.

Mum really didn't care about that.

- The slametan?
- It's something with spirits.

But they don't exist, Auntie Muis.

Let her be.

She's like her mum,
who didn't believe in spirits either.

Goodbye, Omi.

I wish I'd known you better.

Have you seen this coat?

Oh, we haven't been
in the basement yet.

Mum, was this here before?

Indonesia. She did miss it.

She longed for it.

I really think we should take her there.

No. She never went back.

She came to the Netherlands
and she wanted to become Dutch.

- She wanted to, or she had to?
- We don't know.

We didn't talk about it.

The big Indonesian silence.
That's what your dad used to say.

Sometimes you don't speak about things
because they're too painful.

Maybe you'll find the answers
to all of your questions, Neeltje.

- I don't have any questions.
- All right, but I do.

We're going. We're going
to scatter Omi's ashes in Bali.

I know you think it's too expensive,
but I've got this.

My whole house was sponsored,
so this trip shouldn't be a problem.

It would be good to do something
with the three of us.

I'm on it.

Hey, honey.

Paradise on Earth. Bali.

Jenny. Firstly, I greatly respect you.

We made some great deals together,

we made many sponsors happy
and we earned a lot of cash.

Bro, just tell her.

She's going through a lot right now.

I know what you want to say.
This puts me back on top.

We're making a travel vlog.

All I need is four tickets
and free hotels.

- You're too normal.
- Yeah. Average.

- The girl next door.
- Sponsors want urban roots.

- Diversity.
- Exactly. Mixed race.

It's all very complicated.

But I am Indonesian.

Oh?

Now that you say it, I can see it.

- Shouldn't you go to Indonesia?
- Yeah.

Bali is in Indonesia.

It's a pretty cool angle.

Exotic posts about your past.

In search of your identity.
Shit like that.

Yes.

How much are you?

- What?
- How Indonesian.

Well, we never discuss that at home.

An eighth? A quarter?

Oh, that's not enough.

Sorry, but this feels a bit like
cultural appropriation to me.

That's a thing of the past.

Exactly that. Complicated shit like that.

We need to let you go, love.
Especially after your breakup.

Whose breakup?

What is this, Max?

Sorry, honey.

You were so sad
about your grandma and stuff.

I just didn't feel a connection anymore.

A connection?

A connection.

That's what people have
when they're together.

If they're not just thinking
about themselves.

It's really been
a bit of a Jenny overload.

No, we're not doing this.

We're going on a trip to the most
romantic island in the world. Together.

And we'll make a love vlog,
showing the best places

to swim, to dive, and to get married.

Yeah, but not to me, honey.

I don't believe in marriage at all. No.

You know that, don't you?

All right. Yeah.

Pity.

No. It's fine, you know. Fine.

In a month,
I'll have a million followers.

You'll come crawling back

and you'll regret ever letting me go.

Jenny?

Oh my god, it's really you.
Can I take a selfie?

Yeah, of course.

You really were my biggest inspiration
when I was in year eight.

You were such an icon back then.

Thanks.

Jen, any luck?

Yes.

Yeah.

What?

Yes, they loved it.

Tickets and hotels.

- Hey, where is this going?
- The thrift shop.

Bali.

Wow, that's insane.

- Isn't it, Mum?
- Yeah.

Jen.

The princess and the rice picker.

A very long time ago,

there was a princess
from our family in Indonesia.

The rice picker looked up from his work

and he saw the prettiest girl

he had ever seen.

It was love at first sight.

The princess thought the rice picker

was the most handsome boy
she'd ever seen.

The princess' parents didn't want
her marrying beneath her station.

They forbade her
to ever see the rice picker again.

They missed each other terribly

and they hoped they would
see each other again someday.

They were separated by fate.

Like our mummy and daddy?

Dad fell in love with someone else.

- Aw, kassian.
- Aw, kassian.

The rice picker found
in the Waterfall of the Two Sisters...

...a gem.

He made a necklace out of it
and gave it to the princess.

Beautiful.

Yes, it's beautiful.

But it brought only bad luck
upon the princess and the family.

The young rice picker died of sadness.

The boy's mother was so angry,
she went to see a dukun.

A sorcerer who cursed them.

Now the necklace brings bad luck,

until the curse is lifted.

Look at this.

Omi kept some things
from her time in Indonesia after all.

Mum, there's still that necklace,
isn't there?

What necklace?

- Don't you remember?
- No.

The necklace from
the princess and the rice picker.

Grandma has told that story
a hundred times.

That guna-guna story.

Omi was interested in black magic,
wasn't she?

If we find the necklace,
what should we do with it?

Wear it. Yeah.

It's a real eye-catcher.

You're not afraid of guna-guna?

I'm not superstitious.

Neither am I.

I wouldn't mock it if I were you.

All your female offspring
will be unlucky in love.

Such nonsense.

Maybe the necklace
does have guna-guna. It's possible.

Is that why everyone in our family
is unlucky in love?

Honey, the necklace is gone.
You don't need to worry about it.

You will find love eventually.
And I will too.

Mum, throw this out too?

No, that's Omi.

Hang on.

Hey, guys. I can really feel the energy.
It's truly amazing.

Yeah, you're okay. Come on.

Great. Thank you.

Thank you.
Yes, thank you. You can go now.

Welcome home, Mum.

Can you hear it?

Mum?

What are you doing here?

You brought me here.

And I'm glad. It's been too long.

Nice, isn't it? I wasn't allowed
to wear this in the old days.

Can you hear it?

I missed it so much.

- So why did we never go back?
- We couldn't.

I had to think about the future.

Just like you, with the girls.

Mum, you know what they've...

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.

Here, I had...

Did you see this at Omi's?

Look.

Mum.

Oh. Hey, there you are.

With her babu.

- What? Babu?
- She had a nanny. Just for her.

- Really?
- That was normal back then.

Yeah, and here. Hang on.

- This one.
- Oh, yes.

She was so beautiful.

And who is he?

I don't know.

- Sorry, I'm going... Good night.
- Night.

Here. Isn't this house crazy?

Did Omi ever tell you anything
about this?

No, nothing.

Maybe the house still exists.

No, I don't know.

Good night.

Bye, love. Sleep tight.

She won't find anything. It's all gone.

How do you know?

- You're still not telling me anything?
- No.

Mum?

- Did you say something?
- No.

Okay. Huh?

Good night.

Takut. Coward.

I'm not going to tell her
I was bickering with my dead mother.

Oh my god, it's amazing here.

The best way to start the day
is having a floating breakfast.

- Floating breakfast?
- Where did you come up with that?

It's truly amazing, guys. It's so good.

I feel all grounded.

Wait.

Oh, shit.

Jen.

You can have mine. Carbs are the worst.

An offering to the gods.
In Bali, spirituality is all around.

Every flower and every dish
has a spiritual meaning

to appease the gods.

Join me on a trip
in my new series Love in Bali.

This is interesting, isn't it?

Followers love dreamy videos.

Jen, you're in Bali.
The island where your grandma grew up.

And you're only thinking about
your followers?

Mum, do you have to take
that urn everywhere you go?

I can't leave her, can I?

Hello. You like batik?

- I do. How much for this one?
- 300.

- Pisang Rai.
- Pisang Rai.

- Pisang?
- I don't know where that came from.

Two, please.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks.

Here you are. Thank you.

What are you doing?
Jen, don't do that. That's an offering.

Sorry.

Here you are.

You're throwing it out?

Didn't you see how it's made?

No one has ever died
by eating a pisang.

You don't know what you're missing.

Hugging the toilet for two hours.

Hello.

You thought:
Let's wear traditional clothing?

Isn't this offensive to the locals?
A tourist wearing this?

That's cultural appropriation.

And you looking like a bluebird
is perfectly fine?

Well, it's couture.

Mum, Omi didn't wear a serong, did she?

Sarong.

She didn't.

Not in the Netherlands, anyway.

Long skirts, white hats, wooden shoes.
That's traditional costume.

You know you're dead, right?

I don't believe in ghosts.

I really don't understand you, Dewi.

I just want to know where I come from.
It's not that strange.

Yeah, from the Netherlands.

...find more about the family history
of my grandmother.

She used to live here, in Bali.

Is she Indonesian
or Chinese or European?

It's kind of complicated,

because her ancestors
were probably from Java and Ambon,

but her parents
were already Dutch mixed.

She lived here until 1965.

My grandmother always told a story.
Do you know this symbol, maybe?

Could it be guna-guna?

It's a curse. Kutukan.

It's just an old story.

Doesn't exist anymore in Indonesia,
you know?

Yeah.

Okay, and...

What about the houses?
I tried to find...

Our house in Indonesia.

Siti, my babu.

Thank you.

Another foreigner
looking for the good old days.

Good luck.

Is this your vase?

- Urn.
- Urn?

Yeah, this is my mum.
I'm going to scatter her ashes here.

- That's great.
- Yeah.

Right. I thought you needed a hug.
Didn't you?

Please don't.

Before you know it, you'll be asking me
on a date and it will be awkward.

We'll end up having courtesy sex.

Courtesy sex? What is that?

Never mind.

But it is a lovely thought.

Taking your mother back
to the island of a thousand gods.

Did you have the slametan yet?

What do you know about that?

Not that much, when I first came here.

But I've been living here
for so long now, I've attended plenty.

An ancient tradition
where you let go of the dead.

I just think it's lovely. Fascinating.

I think it's a ritual for those
who don't want to accept death.

Seriously?

When you're dead, you're just gone.

- You struck me as an emotional person.
- Really? Wow.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

So I'm not emotional
because I'm not superstitious?

Help me understand.

You've come from across the globe
to scatter your mother's ashes,

holding her urn here at the market
and you're not superstitious?

- I find that complicated.
- Do you?

Maybe we'll meet again.

Hang on. I feel it. I know it.

- Neeltje.
- Neeltje, I knew it.

- I wouldn't count on it.
- I only count on my karma.

And Bali's not that big.

I'm Frank, by the way.

What a nice man.

And so clever.

Come on. That sarong alone.

I guess you'd rather be a spinster.

I really need to find a place
to scatter your ashes, Mum.

Hey.

- Hey, a Dutchman.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm clearly a bule here.
A foreigner.

Just like in the Netherlands, actually.

Are you Indonesian too?

Yes. Indonesian roots.

Me too.

Ridwan.

Dewi.

Did you find out anything
about your grandma?

No, I wish.

I only know she was in a girls choir

and she played tennis
with a group of friends.

And she grew up here, but that's it.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

It's sad that she grew up here

and she had to go to a country
she didn't know.

That house looked quite Dutch.
I think you're romanticising this.

Sorry.

Sorry, I...

I'm still figuring it out myself.

I did see some houses like that up north.

Do you know where?

But I can help you find them.

- If you want to?
- Please.

No, I really don't.
That's all right. No, really.

No, really. Please. Really. No. Stop.

It's hard to find a tour, isn't it?

It's like everyone's offering tours.
How do you find the good ones?

I may know one that's decent.

What are they called again?
Double Dutch Tours, I believe.

The best of Bali, in Dutch,
by a real Bali expert.

And not expensive.

Not expensive, because I'm cheap?

- It's near here. Come.
- No, I'll find it myself.

Take a right. Next to the bike shop.

A bit further along.

Double Dutch.

- You want one? Very cheap.
- No, thank you. Very kind.

- This one.
- Oh, no. They're great, but no.

What? Seriously?

I'm sorry.
Competition is fierce around here.

Not enough customers?

Well, we offer a smaller, unique
Bali experience for the real traveller.

That's what I said.
Not enough customers.

Let's see what a nice, single lady...

With her mum and sister.

...with her mum and sister needs.

- Family trip?
- No.

What do you think I need?

Not doing anything for six months.

Are you a tour guide or a life coach?

You'll see when you
reach your destination.

Look, I'm a pretty well-known influencer.

What if you sponsor my trip?
I'll tag you in all my posts.

Gold content.

- I thought you weren't cheap.
- It's purely a business proposal.

Would be great for your business.

You know what's good
for my business? Cash.

Okay, how much
is a three-day trip for one?

Are you sure you don't
want to go with the three of you?

No.

Hey, where was this picture taken?

Cash or credit card?

All right.

Have you got everything?
Come, that's enough for today.

More followers than you.

Because she shows off her tits
in every post.

Can I see?

Oh, she's travelling too.

Probably can't think of anything new.

Hey, I've been thinking about Mum.

Dewi?

She takes Omi's urn everywhere.
That's not right, is it?

Well, Mum's just a bit lonely.

I understand you're busy working,

but maybe you can
make time for her more often?

Your content with Max
might suffer from it, but...

you've got family too.

Is that why Max didn't join us?

I...

It's been a bit of a Max overload.

If you really
want to do something for Mum,

you should take her tomorrow.

- That's a really nice bag.
- Now I don't have to hold her.

- You bought it especially for Omi?
- I did. To keep her close.

All right.

Look.

Hey, guys. Here we are.

- Be careful.
- Yeah, I will.

Mum, look.

Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple.

It's a sacred spring
that purifies your spirit.

I'm going to have my soul cleansed.

I'm incredibly excited.

Babe?

Hey, Max.

Jenny.

Well... So...

- So great that you're here too.
- What are you doing here?

Well, what do you think?

This is one of the most well-known spots
on the island.

What are you doing in Bali?

And? Babe?

- What do you think?
- Beautiful, babe.

- You look great in everything.
- Oh, baby.

You're always so beautiful, babe.

Jenny. You already went in. And?

Do you feel reborn?
Max told me your family is from here.

You can take the best pics over there.
I'll show you. Come on.

You look great, by the way.
It's so good to see you again.

Teddy bear insisted we go here.

Bali is a must see
for everyone who is anyone.

You just stole my whole idea
and my sponsors.

Whoa, Jenny. Look around you.

Do you seriously think all these people
stole your sponsor deal?

Was it your sponsor deal?

It was. Teddy bear was supposed
to get me tickets.

But babe, what sponsors?

What sponsors?

Face it. You're completely out of touch.

Your engagement collapsed months ago.

And your statistics were really bad.

Who'd want to work with you?

With you, they would
never have offered me this trip.

Gross.

Did you dump her
because her socials got worse?

Of course not.

No. It was over between
Jenny and me long before that.

- Jenny knew that.
- No, I did not.

Bye, Max.

Hey, isn't that...

- Yeah, Survivor series 12.
- Right.

- I think he's a tosser.
- Yeah, he is.

Let's change.

- I want to see the temple.
- No, we're going to change.

Three pics won't win this social war.

Driver's waiting, ladies. Come.

Mum.

Omi.

Okay, can you leave? Hello?

Jesus.

Can you go?
We have to make a picture. Yes.

Come on.

Are they deaf or something? Jesus.

Hey.

Frankie.

- Dude.
- My man.

Ladies, this is Frank.
This is his surf shop and he's the best.

- Neeltje.
- Hi.

Yeah.

I told you Bali was a very small island.

So, these are my daughters.
Jenny and Dewi.

- Hi.
- Welcome.

- Hello.
- Welcome.

Well, pick a board.

We're going to enjoy
the beneficial effects of the waves.

- Come.
- Aren't you coming?

I'm going to enjoy
the beneficial effects of my book.

The sea of time has the best beach.

- Is that a Balinese saying?
- An aphorism.

But you're right.

Never do something you don't want to,
especially not out of courtesy.

The sun loungers are free for customers.

Aduh, what a body.

Yeah.

Mum, I'm here with the girls.

Sure. Like they can't
take care of themselves.

Doing great, girls.

- What are you doing?
- Filming you.

So you can show your skills.
It's on the house.

Right, and keep your balance.
Very good.

Bend your knees.

Good.

Speed up. Paddle.

Bend your knees.

Just let yourself fall. Just fall.

Paddle, paddle. Speed up.

Yes.

Let me see.

Yeah, that's the one.

Cameltoe. Start again.

Cameltoe?

Oh, right.

Do you like this music?
Come and dance with Mummy.

We're in the Netherlands,
so you should speak Dutch.

What will people say?

How did you know that song?

Well, know it... I don't even know
what it means exactly.

It's about a trip to Munduk.

- It's a place up north.
- Right.

My mum used to sing it sometimes
when my aunt was visiting.

That was the only Indonesian thing
she did.

That's why you don't want a slametan.

Your mum didn't do that either.

I don't know, you make it sound
like such a big deal.

I used to be jealous
of a Surinamese girl

because her family really
cared about their heritage.

You didn't discuss that with your mum?

No.

No. Everything was good in Indonesia.
That's all she knew.

And that it was hot.

I wanted to
do a presentation on it at school,

but eventually,
I did a presentation on bunnies.

- Did you have a bunny?
- No.

Rabbits nibble on your luck, don't they?
Everyone knows that.

Come here.

Now I've got to let go.

Or I won't have a reason to
awkwardly hug you on our first date.

Thanks.
You've got a good eye for pictures.

What are you doing?

I'm not your boyfriend, you know.
Why are those pics so important to you?

Did you have real friends
when you were younger?

Yeah, a group of friends.
Everyone does.

I didn't. Everyone thought I was weird.

I only found out
when I wasn't invited to a party.

I had a boyfriend,
but he didn't want to be seen with me.

When he was partying with everyone,
I created an account.

My very first account.

With a cute little dog.

Bam, ten followers.
A hundred followers a week later.

A hundred people who liked me.

I couldn't believe it.

No one wanted the real Jenny,
but they did want the online version.

- And the boyfriend?
- As if I still wanted him.

Max was famous too. He saw me.

We helped each other.

Sounds like a business agreement.

Maybe.

But we really loved each other.

Maybe I'm just doing this
to prove something to those people.

- Are you wearing that tonight?
- I am.

The house on the picture was in Munduk.
That's where Omi used to live.

- Munduk? But...
- The song about Munduk.

Omi used to sing it.

I just didn't put two and two together.

Someone I met wanted to find out
where the picture was taken.

But we know it now, thanks to Mum.

- Jen.
- Look, Mum.

What a cute guy.

I know something he'd like to find out.

Oh yeah? Does Max agree?
Does Max agree?

He does. By the way, I... we have
an appointment with Bart tonight.

He said the surf teacher
might come too.

- Isn't he your type, Mum?
- No.

You don't have to throw yourself
at the first smooth man you meet.

Jen...

You look beautiful.

Isn't it great, dating such a good man?

Mum, I'm going with the girls.

You said that when you were 14
before you went to the disco.

What time should I be home?

How about one?

My dad never allowed us to go dancing.

You're just as pretty
as you were back then.

He will fall for you.
He would be crazy not to.

Mum, stop it.

Sudah al.

Home at half past 11.

You stay here for the night.

I don't want to miss anything.

You're in the urn, aren't you?

My ashes are in that urn.
I'm inside your head.

As long as you keep quiet.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Hi, ladies.
That's right. How are you getting on?

Hey.

Act surprised. Ask questions.

Men don't like women
who talk about themselves all the time.

A mother-in-law who keeps
giving advice. That's appealing.

What, Mum?

What a coincidence.

- Could this be a sign?
- A sign?

Are you becoming spiritual?
Hey, how are you?

- Good.
- Yeah?

Bart said you were here,
so I wanted to take my chances.

Keep your distance a bit.
Don't be too available.

- Would you like a drink?
- No, you can't hold your liquor.

They have great cocktails here,
but they contain a lot of vodka.

- Please, not another one. I forbid it.
- I'd like one.

You become rowdy when you're tipsy.

Mum, seriously.

Are we drumming?

Listen. That shirt.

- What about it?
- Long story or short?

At least unbutton it.

You're trying to change me already?

No, I'm not changing you.

I'm just showing you
what's already there. That's what I do.

Bring out the best in everything.

I can turn a turd into a cake.

And who's the turd in this story?

Tour guide by day, comedian by night.

But you haven't been in any
relationships after the girls' dad?

No, not really.

Was he so special
you didn't want anyone else?

Yeah, no. I did go on dates.

Right. Hang on.
In comes the infamous courtesy sex.

- Yeah.
- What is that, anyway?

Do you address each other formally
and use a napkin? What is it?

It's old-fashioned.

You just exchange texts for a while,
then go on a date.

You already know it's not working,
but you sleep with him anyway.

- No, what?
- Yeah.

- No way.
- Way.

- You do that?
- I used to.

Now I just dismiss them
when I don't like them.

I turned into a bitch.

Huh? What are you doing here?

Your text.

What?

What?

My sister sent you something.
Sorry, I didn't know.

- It's all right.
- Oh, okay.

Your mum?

Yeah.

Where would you like to go?

Doesn't matter.
I just like moving around.

Why?

I don't get attached to locations,
I guess.

Has it always been like that?

It has.

I think so.

Like...

I was like that in primary school.

In primary school I was
a bit different from everybody else.

Not white,
but it was not like people knew

what I was.

So I was always something in between

and I think
I don't really belong anywhere.

People asked if I was a half blood.

And I used to say:
No, I'm full of blood.

- Full of blood.
- Yeah.

- I even dyed my hair blonde.
- Really?

I wanted to be as Dutch as possible.

Crazy. My mum was so angry.

- She didn't like it?
- No, I used her bank card.

It was really expensive.

- What's all this?
- It's fun. Come on.

- What are you doing?
- My job.

- Hey, where are you going?
- I'm going home.

So I can do my job tomorrow.

The final day of your tour.

- You're sweet.
- Mind your step.

- And handsome.
- And?

- And attractive.
- Stop it.

But did you know?

- I didn't know I was going to say this.
- What?

I'd like to get to know you better.

You do?

You're late.

It's past 12:30am.

We can go to my place,
but my mum's there.

I already met your mum, you know?

- At the market. The urn, remember?
- Right. Hang on.

We're just going to...

Just a sec.

All right.

Mum, what are you doing here?

Are you sure that's what you want?

I'm an adult.

I know. We could go to your place.
She doesn't know where it is.

No. Tomorrow, ten o'clock.

- She's driving me nuts.
- Listen. Tomorrow, ten o'clock.

- You, me, and the waves.
- Now.

No. I need to sleep and so do you.

I've got a pool.
We can go swimming right now.

- I've got a pool.
- I'm going to sleep and so are you.

Ten o'clock tomorrow.

Frank, I've got a pool.

Hey.

I'm glad you agreed on another date.

If you'd put out the first time,
you'd be damaged goods.

Then no one will want you.

Smart-arse. Trollop.

Mum!

So, according to your mum
your grandma used to live in Munduk.

That's right.

And all because of an old song.

It could be a coincidence.

Yeah, I don't believe in that.

Everything happens for a reason.

One, two, three. Yes.

Great. Thank you.

What are you looking for in a picture?

I was actually looking for stories
about my great-great-grandma.

She was an Indonesian woman

who worked as a housekeeper
for my Dutch great-great grandpa.

And he got her pregnant.

Right. Out of love, or...?

I was hoping to find a romantic story

instead of a master abusing his staff.

- And?
- I couldn't find anything.

My mum and my sister think
my search is stupid.

And the pictures?

Yeah, the pictures.

I...

I'm trying to capture the present,
and with that, history.

- Those three generations just now?
- Yeah?

They'll exist forever now.

I can't.

No.

Good morning.

- Hey. Rough night?
- Morning.

- Did he take you home safely?
- I feel like crap.

I really enjoyed the other night,
but then...

But then what?

Everything turned out differently.

And here he is again.

Hey.

He's going to show me around.

I asked if you could come,
but there's no room on his moped.

- Do you have a hangover?
- No, I feel good.

- Did I say anything weird last night?
- It was so embarrassing.

No, you were really sweet.
Are you ready?

I am. Just let me get my things.

The car is up there.

My mum...

She's going through a rough time
because my grandma died.

Our Omi. So she's kind of vulnerable.

I understand.

- Just to be clear.
- If you hurt my mum...

I'll write a bunch of bad reviews
about that place of yours.

Don't worry. I can tell
she's still hung up on her mother.

- Tell me about it.
- In her mind.

If she can't let go of your grandma,
it'll be very hard for her to...

To?

You know what it is?
To Neeltje, Omi is still around.

It happens.

Maybe they're not ready
to let each other go yet.

Cripes. This island.
Is everyone here this superstitious?

Is it superstition if something works?

A slametan can have a healing effect,
for instance.

Then your Omi and Mum can move on,
and so can you.

I can't deal with this.

Go date a medium, but don't bother
my mum with this nonsense.

Come.

- To Munduk?
- No.

To Munduk?

Dewi.

Sorry, I shouldn't have done that.

It's all right. It's not you, all right?

Stop. It's not you, all right?

- To Munduk?
- Yes.

Come on.

Sorry, I understand
I look like some stalker now,

but I thought we had a connection.

We did.

So? Dewi, please explain.

I'll get out at the next stop
and you'll never have to see me again.

- You won't believe me anyway.
- Try me.

I've been cursed.

See? You don't believe me.

Dewi.

I'm going to need
some more information.

And the Waterfall of the Two Sisters
made sure

none of the women could ever find love.

- May I?
- Sure.

It's not like I need love right now,
or something.

But plenty of stuff happened in my life
to support this.

So...

Now you probably think I'm crazy?

Though I am a bit crazy.

No, I don't think you are.

And I'm not leaving, because...

I've never felt this way
about anyone and...

I don't want to lose that.

Excuse me. Sorry, chicken.

We need to lift that curse.

We do.

Wow.

Such a beautiful place.

Wait. Try this.

No, I don't think that would be wise.

It would be great if you could add
flavours to your posts.

Or you could just enjoy the moment.

That is a very modern idea.

I'll be right back.

Hey.

High five.

What was that?

I help that family out sometimes.

You old colonial.

Waterfalls?

Yes.

Here in Bali,
you can feel the force of nature.

Don't do that. Stop.

- Don't film this.
- Why not?

In my posts, the waterfall looks like
a secret place surrounded by nature.

This is the real secret.
That it's not like that.

Why don't you just show the world
as it is? Totally real.

The real Bali is one big money machine.
No one wants to see that.

- You'll reach a thousand followers soon.
- Come.

Hey, Jenny.

- Hey.
- Hey. Come here.

What a coincidence.
First at the temple, now here.

- Yeah.
- It's like magic.

- Magical.
- Yes, magical.

How are you?

Good. Better, even.

I could tell. Adorable,
that Instagram post with the feet.

Super cute.

Right.

So, you're still keeping
your new lover a secret?

So you're still following me?

Teddy bear, I'd like another cocktail.
Would you like a drink?

- Come hang out with us.
- No, we've really got to go.

Oh, pity.

What do you want, teddy bear?

Yes.

What do you want, teddy bear?

I'm really glad to see
you're doing so well.

I mean it. Just enjoy it.

- Then the pain will go away.
- Oh my god, is it really you?

Can I take a picture?

Oh my...

Oh, they're Dutch.

Look, don't buy.
Always the same with you people.

Maybe Dewi's right.
Maybe we actually are cursed.

Sorry, what?

My grandma used to tell this story
about a necklace

that makes you unlucky in love.

Such nonsense.

Why aren't you laughing?

You believe in this?

Not everything
can be explained logically.

- Especially not in Bali.
- Oh, all right.

Why the Frisian flag on the helmet?

When I started, I had a partner.

I ran the business with a friend.

One night we got drunk and...

he ran over a man. Killed him.

The father of that family.

My friend died too.

Man, Sieb was so proud to be Frisian.

I've always been like:
what does that even mean? Frisian?

- Or from Brabant.
- Or Indonesian.

Exactly. In the end, it doesn't matter.
We're all one, aren't we?

But he wanted a Frisian flag.

So he got a Frisian flag.

I try to support that family
wherever I can.

But it wasn't your fault.

We got drunk together.

You've got to take responsibility.

- This should be it.
- I think so.

Are you from the Netherlands?

Yes, we're from the Netherlands.

Not bad.

You speak Dutch?

A bit. Sedikit?

- Did you know the family?
- I was still young.

- Come with me.
- Right.

My father worked for your family
for a long time.

Grandma.

That's me.

A long time ago.

Everything changed after Margarana.

Margarana?

War.

Go there. There was a fight.

Okay. Next pose.

Next pose, next pose.

And the last pose.

Jump. One, two, three.

Jump. Okay. Make number 27.

- Thank you.
- Next number 27.

- Look, this one's nice.
- It is.

You're not going to film this?

No. I can't use that, can I?
No one wants to see crowds of people.

At least it's real.

Real doesn't mean interesting.

What kind of place is this?

Grandma's former gardener said
this is why Grandma left.

That roadside warung is selling satay.
Don't you want to try it?

You won't find anything here.

Look. This is where
the Balinese rebelled in 1946.

The Dutch violently put a stop to it.

Not many Dutch tourists come here.

I had no idea.

I had just been born
and there was a terrible fight here.

A puputan. A fight till death.

Mum, is there someone you know in here?

Not our family. It's Iskandar's father.

He was my true love.

Oh, Mum.

Iskandar.

No one has ever looked at me
the way he did.

He was sweet, funny, strong.

He made me feel alive.

- But this is his father's grave?
- Yes, his father's.

He was killed by the Dutch.

We'd lived here for generations

but they still considered us to be Dutch.

And they couldn't bear the idea
of us being together.

Our worlds didn't match.

- Why did you leave?
- We couldn't stay here.

We were still Dutch to them.

We were kicked out.
They called us regretful.

What about Iskandar?

I've always loved him.

And what about Dad?

I've always loved Dad too.

Is that why you thought
you were cursed in love?

It is.

- And the necklace.
- Yes?

That necklace story
you used to tell the girls.

That's about you, isn't it?

Yeah, that was me.
I turned it into a fairy tale.

A fairy tale needs to have
something scary.

They still believe it.

I wanted to protect you
from the pain love can cause.

That's why we're all afraid
of commitment.

But you can change that.

My mother left her home country

and her true love

to give me a better future.

I thought I had to do that as well.

Just be there for my children.

What does this say about us, Mum?

About our family?

I mean, the big Dutch house.

Grandma grew up in wealth while there
were so many people who had nothing.

My ancestors
were part of a colonial system.

I feel ashamed, being here.

You know what they say around here?

They say jam karet.

Jam karet.

Time heals. Time is elastic.

Jam karet.
What kind of nonsense is that?

So if you deny things for long enough,
it's like they never happened?

- I don't think he's saying that.
- I think he is.

And you don't have to stand up for him.

Will you please stop denying
everything all the time?

All this tempo dulu,
overly romanticised bullshit?

And this mental image of Indonesia.
It's just not true.

Elastic time also means

that it does exist.

The pain. But...

Mum, it doesn't exist.

It's how you deal with it.

You don't have to bear
all the suffering of your ancestors.

Hey.

Thanks.

- Thanks.
- Here's to the final day of the tour.

Wow.

It's Connection Day.

Here in Bali
they celebrate Connection Day.

Look at these people shine.

Look at that.

Max, oh my god.

I didn't see it was you.

Did you arrange this?
That silly costume.

This is crazy, teddy bear.

Typically one of those crazy Max ideas.
Oh my god, this is a great shot.

If only these guys would stop
rocking this chair.

What are you doing?

Max.

Max.

Oh, wait.

Could you film me?

Right. Just point and shoot. Okay?

My doll, will you marry me?

- No.
- You don't?

No, not you.
That fucking camera didn't work.

I didn't turn it on.

- Come on, babe.
- Did you get it?

Did you film?

You filmed?

No, you're not filming.

I said to you: Push the red button.
You're useless. What is this?

Film, right?

- Film.
- Okay.

My doll. Will you marry me?

Just move back a little bit.
With the girl in the shot.

Yes, that's nice. Ready?

My doll, will you marry me?

Of course I want to marry you.

- She said yes.
- I said yes.

Wonderful.

She said yes.

People can't stop watching
a traffic accident either.

Psychologists still don't know why.

In the Middle Ages, decapitations
were considered entertainment.

- Imagine that.
- Shut up.

Hello.

Come on. Move it.

Move it.

Today I'm showing you the other side
of the pictures you think you know.

Welcome to my new series:
Bali Backstage.

Next pose.

It's one big circus.

You think
you've got the perfect picture.

You have the perfect image.
Just made by a mirror. Look.

Fake, all fake.
Don't forget to take a number.

- Next pose, next pose.
- You have to see this crazy woman.

A theme park's got nothing on this.

You get up at 3:00am to queue for hours

for the same picture
everybody in the whole world is taking.

The same picture all over again.
Now I'm in heaven.

What are you doing? Let go of me.

Don't touch me, dumb cow.

Get out of my way.

Hello, I'm talking to you.

Put your hands up, party people.

Look at you. You are all fake.
Everyone's doing the same...

Go away. I'm not done yet, dumb cow.

Look at you.
You're ruining this island. All of you.

No. Don't touch me. It's all right.

You think this is her own dress?
It's not.

You can rent your favourite colour here,
for a few minutes of personality.

Hey.

- You're ruining my picture.
- Tough luck.

You thought there are no queues here?
Well, there are. Look, it's all fake.

Fake. Sorry, coming through.

Bali sucks. Everything's just so fake.

Hello. Hello.

Let go of me.
Do you know how expensive this is?

With your stupid temple.

Here you go.

- I didn't turn it on. Did you get it?
- Why? Let me see.

You're not filming. I said to you:
Just push the red button.

You're useless.

Romantic, you'd think.

They did this three times
before it looked spontaneous.

Nothing is what it seems
and I'm showing you the truth.

You can see all of it in my video,
Bali Backstage.

Time to share it with the world.

Now.

Just made by a mirror.
Look. Fake, all fake.

She's just a bit crazy.

The way she looks at you,
with that little nose.

And the things she says.

I don't know. She doesn't realise
she's a great mother.

It's bigger than her. She really
does everything for those girls.

In a very weird way,
and maybe I'm exaggerating,

I think it's kind of sexy.

You know what we agreed on
about tourists.

I know, but this is different.
It feels different.

When are you going to live again?
Sieb would have wanted you to.

This fucking island. I'm over it.

This island sucks.

Here. Totally real.

Isn't this what everyone wants to see?
Happy now?

Hey.

Today I'm showing you the other side
of the pictures you think you know.

- I'd go after her if I were you.
- She's really angry.

Just go.

So now it's my fault?

- Oh, I'll let you be.
- Stay.

It's okay.

You're right.

They don't want me.
They want the version I created.

Now I don't even know
who I really am anymore.

Maybe you should go and find out.

Yeah.

Yes.

Thanks for everything.

That's why we have
a business agreement, right?

I've got to do it myself.

Ma'am, you alone on holiday?

Yes.

No, I'm with my mother and sister.

It's so fun to do something together.

I thought: cooking is a family activity,
isn't it?

- How long does it take?
- We're making lunch and supper.

I did book a massage
later this afternoon.

We can only do lunch?

Pity.

- Payment, please?
- Yes.

Let's see.

- Jen.
- Yes?

- Shouldn't you take a picture?
- I left my phone at the hotel this time.

Very unlike you. This one.

Hi.

Okay, thank you very much.

Oh, that smell.

It reminds me of Auntie Muis.
She used to make fresh krupuk for us.

Right, and she used to say
"Come on, you're so thin."

You need to eat properly.

You're skinny.

"And have some pasties."
You love those.

No, the pasties were for you.
I always had lemper.

Such a pity Omi never did that.

Give it here. Come here.

Come. Come here.

Dewi. Jen.

Hey. Stop.

Don't throw the food.

Hey.

Girls, stop it.

Jen.

Jen.

- Where did you get this?
- It was a gift. Give it back.

It's not your style.

- That's the necklace...
- It was Omi's.

Cripes.

This is your fault.

The curse has been reactivated
because you took this necklace.

No.

Jen. No.

- Yes.
- For shame.

Really? For shame?

It's just a story Omi made up.

Is it? You've been alone
ever since Dad left.

I never get past the first date
and Jenny...

Jenny has boyfriends,
but that's just superficial.

- You're happy with Max, aren't you?
- We broke up.

He's marrying someone else.
He didn't feel a connection anymore.

- Kassian. He's not worthy of you.
- No one's ever good enough for you.

Now I understand
why you've been so agitated.

You don't understand anything.
You stole this necklace.

- You just stole it. You're lying.
- Give it back.

- Give it back.
- No. You're lying. You're a liar.

Give it here. It's mine.

Excuse me.
Can we go back to cooking now?

Sure. I'm sorry.
I didn't raise them this way.

The curse wasn't active until Omi died.

- I'm not affected at all.
- You are.

When Frank took you home, did you kiss?

We didn't.

- Did you want to?
- I did.

- Exactly.
- Wasn't that because you asked him?

- Asked what?
- Nothing.

- As if you didn't say anything to him.
- Well, I mean...

"If you hurt my mum, I'll write
bad reviews about that place of yours."

We thought he was a superficial man
who would take advantage.

You talked to him about me?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I'm going to get a massage.

- We need to get rid of that curse.
- We do.

Did my daughters scare you
into not touching me?

Why did you listen to them?

I didn't listen to them.
I thought you weren't ready.

Why is that for you to decide?
Why is everyone meddling?

My mum is with me all day,

my daughters talk about me
behind my back, you speak in riddles.

Why doesn't anyone ask me what I want?

- So, what do you want?
- You.

- You do?
- I do.

- You want this?
- I do.

Okay.

And this?

I do.

Do you...

Do you want this?

- No.
- What?

- Wait.
- What is it?

I've got to finish something,
or my neighbour can't get to work.

- I'm serious.
- Please?

Hey.

- I have to.
- No. Hey.

If you want to take a swim,
the towels are over there.

- There.
- Come back for a second.

- I really have to.
- No.

- Hey.
- Hey, Bart.

- The curse has finally been lifted.
- That's great.

Yeah, I'm so happy.

You deserve it. Your true love.

Everyone deserves true love, right?

Yeah, you do too.

You found someone yet?

Maybe.

Oh? Do tell.

She's special and she should
acknowledge that more often.

But she's not into tour guides, so...

Maybe she's into life coaches.

They're supposed to be fun
once you've reached your destination.

Hey.

Hey.

You. Don't throw things in the valley.

- You just threw it away?
- Cripes, that thing.

And you seriously thought
that would help?

Yeah, Jenny thought...

Yes, I thought it would work.

Well, there's a dukun
and she makes offerings to Dewi Danu.

I think she may be able to help.

I found her underneath
the Waterfall of the Two Sisters.

- This dukun...
- All right, let's do this.

Wait. She said something important.

You need to bring your mum.

No sex. Again.

Well, Mum.

We're going to fix that.

What do you mean "No sex, again"?

You never have sex anyway.

Yeah, why is that?

Girls, I don't have to.

You don't have to do anything,
but I've always wondered.

I just never really needed it.

And when you came downstairs
in your pyjamas in the morning,

I didn't want you to see me at the
breakfast table with some strange man.

You had already been through a lot.

So it was just the three of us.

But we moved out years ago.

You never had a date?

Not really.

And now you fancy Frank?

After all those years alone in bed?

I do.

Mum, do you still know how to do it?
Should we give you some pointers?

Or do you need sex education? Mum.

No, thanks.

I do wonder how long it's been
since you've had sex, Mum.

What's this dukun going to do?
Touch my tits?

- Mum, show some respect.
- Like you would mind.

It's a trick.
They want to rob Dutch people.

Mum, a dukun sees and feels things.
More than you can imagine.

All right. I'll be thinking
about Frank on a surf board.

Will the dukun feel that? Come on.

I don't believe a word of it.

Sit down.

What are you doing?

Testing if she's a charlatan.

Don't test me, lady.

Stop thinking about waves,

surfing,

and a big, naked man.

Love is broken.

No togetherness.

This kutukan comes from Dewi Danu.

Goddess of water.

She lives in the waterfall.

You must jump in.

Purify your soul.

Only then

the kutukan will disappear.

Sit down.

No secrets in your family.

If you are full of lies

Danu will...

Go!

Cripes.

Go!

Come, Mum.

Hey, Mum.

- Don't be afraid.
- It looks higher than it is.

- I need to confess something.
- Take my hand.

When you stayed with Omi, sometimes
I did have men over. I did have sex.

But they never stayed.
Now I really want Frank to stay.

It will be all right.

Okay, wait.

This necklace wasn't a gift.
I found it and I took it.

- I knew it.
- Yeah.

I felt pretty lonely
and I've never really been in love.

I was afraid you wouldn't believe me
about the curse.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't see that.

Sometimes you don't speak about things
because they're too painful.

So Auntie Muis was right after all.

Okay.

Okay, are you coming?

All right.

Three, two...

- One.
- No, stop. Wait.

I lied as well.

I paid for this entire trip myself.

My management dumped me.
There is no sponsor deal.

I just wanted to make you proud.

Proud of what I do.
I wanted you to take me seriously.

I am really proud of you.
I read all of your posts.

I know. You like all of them.

I'm done with social media.

I don't want to pretend
I'm someone else.

I'd love to bond with you.

Come, hun.

Ready?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Mum.

A letter.

What?

Is that...?

"Dear Iskandar.

After a two-month boat journey,
we arrived in the Netherlands.

I've seen snow and ice
for the first time.

I wish you were with me, you know.

So we could laugh at those Belandas

and their shoes with blades underneath.

Every day, I look at
the beautiful necklace you gave me

and I can only think of you."

Oh, Omi.

Aw.

- Isn't that extraordinary?
- No. It belongs here.

Yes, dears. Yes, girls.

- So you were successful?
- We were.

We were.

Guna-guna?

- Do you have another aphorism?
- You want another one? Really?

Okay.

Where there's life, there's love.

Aduh, nonya.

Mum.

I'm happy for you.

Maybe you should ask your mum
to leave us alone.

Just pretend I'm not here.
Tell him that.

I think I'm ready to say goodbye.

So you've become superstitious
after all.

A little privacy would be nice.

- Jenny.
- Hun.

You're going viral in Asia and America.

You're a hit. Over a million followers.

I don't know.
I don't have a phone anymore.

Show her.

Nothing is what it seems.

- Cripes.
- It's insane, isn't it?

You can travel the world
with this format.

All fake. Wait.

There are plenty of places to criticise.

Are you seriously suggesting
I should travel the world

like some bully vlogger?

It's good money, you know.
Especially if we do it together.

Together?

We had good times together, didn't we?

Sorry, what are you saying?

- Gold digger.
- Babe.

You can keep your ugly ring.

- That's a very expensive ring.
- I'm sure it is.

Karma is a bitch, teddy bear.

Karma?

What do you say?

What do you think?

Yes? Really?

She said yes.

She said yes!

No.

- No?
- No. Have a good life.

Bye.

Yeah, but I'll see you soon,
right, baby?

Doll. Hey. My doll, come here.

Come here. I'll buy you a new ring.
Or two, three, four. Whatever you say.

Make sure the bean sprouts
don't get soggy.

No. Boil no longer than two minutes.

So soggy. Here, try this.

Why so tiny?

- Do you want to try this?
- No, gross.

Long enough?

- Hey.
- Yes, great.

Hey.

That's unexpected.

- I got a text.
- From whom?

Come.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm so happy we're together
for Omi's slametan.

We should have done this
40 days after she died...

but jam karet.

Jam karet.

You can say goodbye anytime.

Although the story of our family

has been defined by history
for a large part,

from now on we're going to decide
how to tell our story.

Dear Omi. There you go.

We saved a chair for you

and we saved a plate for you.

You'll always be with us in our hearts.

- Okay, guys.
- She likes those eggs.

She loves eggs.

Well, Omi, if you're ready,

you can start your journey.

Selamat jalan.

Selamat jalan.

All right. Good.

Who wants some of this?

Noodles?

Well, it's been a long journey, Mum.

But you're home now.
