Produced by Tiamo Picture and Lingkar Picture, the film portrays the lives of the Chinese community in the Tangerang area. In the film, Junior Liem plays the role of Chibeng, while Chila Kiana plays the character of Lasmi.

"So, CINTA 5 UNSUR is a romantic comedy genre, I play as Chibeng and she (Chila Kiana) plays as Lasmi. I am from a Chinese descent who has lived in Tangerang since I was a child. They call it Cina Benteng, because I live there, so I follow their culture," said Junior Liem in Kemang, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (21/6/2022).

"Then, in this film, there is a portrayal of how the Chinese people who live in Tangerang live their lives. Do they have aspirations, are they already structured, is their life good or not? So, their daily lives meet various things," he added.

The film CINTA 5 UNSUR is special for Chila Kiana. This is her debut in a feature film. The 27-year-old woman said she was happy to be involved in a film directed by Girry Pratama.

"I play Lasmi, a woman who meets Chibeng and they go on an adventure. Then, they find something important. At first, I was interested in the synopsis because it's basically a romantic comedy. But what makes this film unique is that there is a little mystique and also a touching Chinese culture. It's a very interesting combination," said Chila Kiana.
