The Exciting Portrait of the Cast of the Film 'TINGGAL MENINGGAL' at KapanLagi Show, Revealing Impressions of the Characters Played

At the KapanLagi Show event, the cast and director of the film 'TINGGAL MENINGGAL' shared exciting moments behind the scenes while also revealing the background of each character.

The film 'TINGGAL MENINGGAL' focuses on Gema (Omara Esteghlal), an office employee depicted as awkward and lonely. After the death of his father, Gema suddenly becomes the center of attention for his coworkers, but when that warmth quickly fades, an absurd question arises in his mind about 'who else needs to die for him to be noticed again?' 

When asked about how he got into directing, Kristo Immanuel shared his story. "Before joining the corps as talent, I studied film at UMN. I took directing as well. So initially, I mostly made short films, directed short films too. I also directed commercials. So it started from there. Then content, and finally I moved on to feature films," he explained. 

Nirina Zubir as a cast member also revealed how unique Kristo's behavior was during the shooting process. "Kristo as a director is very funny because he often forgets that he is the director. So he often, like for example when we are on break, we are hanging out and suddenly he asks, what are you guys doing? You’re the director...go over there!" she explained.

"So this film is a sort of, what is it, literal translation of comedy as a coping mechanism. So the main character uses comedy to come to terms with the events in his life. So Gema, since childhood, has no friends, he doesn't get attention from his parents either, he is very lonely, he has no one in his life, basically he lives alone. But he uses comedy to do what? To come to terms with that," Kristo explained as the director while describing the background of the main character.

Chosen to be Gema's mother, Nirina revealed her feelings about playing her character. "So somehow I feel related even though this is the extreme version, Mama Gema. But on one side in my little heart, even though it might be considered taboo to say this, I feel like I deserve to be happy," explained Nirina.

Mawar De Jongh also expressed how she liked her character in this film. "What made me fall in love is that Karen is a character that is new for me as well. So from the beginning, Kak Kristo explained that Karen would be like this, like this. I was really interested in playing (this character) because I think she is a character who doesn’t really care about what people think when she expresses what she thinks. She is that confident, that brave to talk about what she thinks to others, so it’s really cool," she explained.

The enthusiasm of the audience was clearly visible from the many positive interactions that occurred during the talk show.

Not only discussing the film, the cast also interacted directly with the movie fans present at the KapanLagi Show. 

The atmosphere became even more festive as the cast joined in playing games and answering questions from the fans.

Not only telling about the film 'TINGGAL MENINGGAL', the cast and director also had a great time when invited to take photos together at the KapanLagi Show. Hope the film is successful.
