A Love Story Full of Sacrifice in the Film 'I DON'T WANT IT TO END HERE' Successfully Made Rossa Cry

Kapanlagi.com - Get ready! The latest film directed by Robert Ronny, DON'T WANT TO END HERE, will soon be released in cinemas across Indonesia starting June 5, 2025. This presentation by Paragon Pictures together with Ideosource Entertainment, which is an adaptation of the South Korean film MORE THAN BLUE, features Bryan Domani, Vanesha Prescilla, Rayn Wijaya, and Davina Karamoy as the main stars. Not only them, the queen of pop music in the country, Rossa, will also appear to add color to the film about the heartbreaking sacrifice of love between K and Cream.

In addition to being an actor, this time Bryan Domani is also trusted to hold the position of executive producer for the production of DON'T WANT TO END HERE. This happened because, according to his statement on May 28, 2025, at XXI Epicentrum Walk, the actor wanted to take a bigger role because he was very much in love with the film.

"When I read the script from the beginning, I felt like I wanna hold a bigger part in this movie, you know. Maybe not just as an actor, but like 'because I love this project so much, I want to be a part of it too." Bryan stated.

The star born on July 29, 2000, added that he finally obtained the role after discussions with Andi Boediman, Robert Ronny, and the entire team. The trust to carry out the duties as one of the executive producers was finally bestowed upon him. Bryan is very grateful because he has been given the opportunity to learn about film production techniques directly.

"It's still small (the role behind the scenes), guys. But it's a step because I also want to learn kan (what) the film industry is like behind that and others. I'm very happy to finally be able to be a bigger part of this film because I really love this movie." He added.

Rossa made her acting debut through the film I DON'T WANT IT TO END HERE. She revealed that the tears she showed in the film while listening to the heartbreaking story and singing were real tears, not just fabricated.

This legendary singer admitted that initially, she did not want to accept Robert Ronny's invitation to appear in the film because she had zero knowledge about that world. Although she has a film that tells about her career journey in the music industry as well as her personal life, the Queen of Pop Indonesia felt she did not need acting to convey that.

"We both met here, then talked about what this film is about. Then (he) said, 'Hey, act here.' (I replied), 'Huh? No way!' I said that (because) I didn't understand how to act." Rossa said.

This rejection then ended with an agreement after Rossa heard that the role offered to her was to be herself. "(Robert Ronny said), 'But you are here as a singer.' (I asked), 'Huh? As a singer but as who (what's the character's name)?' (He answered), 'As Rossa.' 'Oh, okay then, if it's as Rossa.'"

2. Rossa Sings a Heartfelt OST

Outside of acting, the second challenge given by Robert Ronny to Rossa is to sing the official soundtrack for DON'T WANT TO END HERE. Andi Rianto was appointed as the composer for the film's OST along with Monty Tiwa as the lyricist, a figure known for often successfully making listeners feel sadness through the arrangement of words in his works.

When attending a workshop with the brains behind the OST of the film DON'T WANT TO END HERE, Rossa admitted that there are two things she realizes she often does after reading the lyrics of her song. First, it is not uncommon for her to always pretend to be strong in front of many people when facing obstacles. In fact, the actual situation is very much the opposite of what she shows.

"Especially when people say, 'Oh, you must be fine.' But, actually we are not fine, especially when it comes to family or our closest people." Rossa said.

The second thing Rossa realized is about how humans go through the process of grief. Someone who has passed away will always be remembered through their face and behavior during their life. However, the voice will gradually become a part that fades from people's memory over time, whether in direct conversation or over the phone.

"So, now I and my sisters, with my mom (and) dad, always send voice notes so that (the voice) is recorded (and can be remembered)." She continued while holding back tears that suddenly flowed while speaking at the press conference.

3. Love Always Requires Sacrifice

Recently, many people often consider giving to be the most essential and crucial part of love. It is not uncommon for them to prefer seeking new figures in their lives rather than fixing what has already been broken. This phenomenon then caught the attention of Robert Ronny as the writer, director, and producer of the film DO NOT WANT TO END HERE to remind us that loving relationships between two individuals will always have their ups and downs.

"In my opinion, the essence of love is sacrificing for the person we love. If you just want to have fun, that’s not love. That’s just wanting to play around only. So, I believe that we need to remind ourselves (through this film) that love, the whole package, has its joys and sorrows. If you want the happiness, you must also be willing to face the sorrow." Robert Ronny said on Wednesday (28/05/2025).

"So, actually love has its conditions: both must fight for it." Bryan Domani, who plays the character K in DO NOT WANT TO END HERE, added.

K (Bryan Domani) and Cream (Vanesha Prescilla) are a pair of friends who rise together from the deep sorrow caused by the death of their parents since they were in high school. They both fill each other's days and strengthen one another, realizing that life must go on as it should.

After graduating from school, they went to college majoring in marketing, built careers in the music industry, and participated in volunteer activities caring for animals in shelters together. However, unbeknownst to the girl whose real name is Clarissa, K secretly harbors a big secret from her, which is a serious illness that threatens his life, and he is quietly preparing for a farewell so that there will still be someone to take care of her after he is gone.

Although deep down it is hard to feel sincere, K, also known as Kawidra, is reluctant to give up looking for someone who can make his friend happy when he is no longer in this world. The presence of Armand (Rayn Wijaya) is considered sufficient by him to take care of and marry Cream. Moreover, the two appear to love each other in the eyes of that radio announcer.

DO NOT WANT IT TO END HERE raises a love story full of sacrifice. Through the journey of K and Cream, the audience is invited to understand that love is not always about possession, but also about the sincerity in letting go of the one you love for their happiness—about feelings that are actually not truly over.
