Diving into Rinjani's perspective, we witness their warm and harmonious family, despite their imperfections. However, their warmth is shattered when their father is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, causing him to behave strangely and raising concerns for Rinjani and their mother. Family turmoil ensues when the mother tragically passes away in an accident while selling herbal medicine, witnessed by the father firsthand. This event haunts the father with guilt, as his memory worsens, and past memories seem to come alive again. Eventually, the father follows the mother's departure, and Rinjani is diagnosed with the same disease, Alzheimer's. The chances of inheriting this illness are 50% for their children. It's certainly not good news, is it? Can Rinjani navigate the twists and turns of life that will only get more complicated in the future?
