Plot Summary

Anwar, a quiet 17-year-old who works at a small photo studio, has a habit of secretly taking pictures of people just before their portraits are taken — moments when they show who they really are. One day, a man named Aryadi walks in with his family, and Anwar realizes: this man is his father. At home, Anwar lives with his mother, Ayu, and their relationship becomes tense as old wounds resurface. Struggling with his feelings and memories, Anwar starts to question what family really means and whether he’s been hiding from the truth through his camera. POTRET is a heartfelt story about growing up, facing the past, and seeing people — and yourself — more clearly than ever before.
