Is grief meant merely to help us remember the past or to help us treasure the present? The recent Indonesian film “A Letter to My Youth” asks, and poignantly answers, that question.
Wealthy young man Kefas (Fendy Chow) becomes so overprotective of his daughter, Abigail (Sadiya Aisye), that his young wife, Rania (Agla Artalidia), takes Abigail and leaves home, allowing her husband space to return to his senses.
