As one of the cast members, Prilly Latuconsina was touched by the achievement. Because finally, the film she starred in can make its way to a prestigious world festival.
"Until now, I could only see friends and other actors posting on the red carpet. I always wondered 'When will I be trusted to be involved in a different film than before?'. That's why there was a moment when I cried, I didn't expect it, when it was announced that this film made it to the festival," said Prilly when met at Epicentrum XXI, Rasuna Said area, South Jakarta, Friday (4/8/2023).

Prilly Latuconsina admitted that she often receives offers for similar roles. When given the trust by Wregas Bhanuteja with a different character, Prilly felt her prayers were answered.
"I used to be seen as an actor who came from soap operas, then given the same character over and over again. Maybe no one believed that I could dissect different characters or play a character different from before. So when I was given that trust by a director I've been wanting to collaborate with, I was very happy and grateful," said Prilly.
