Film DEAR JO, A Tear-Jerking Friendship Story

Kapanlagi.com - MPV production house held the premiere of the film DEAR JO (Almost is Never Enough) at Epicentrum XXI Jakarta Selatan, on Wednesday night (2/8/2023).

At the event, the audience was immersed in the story and acting of the cast.

One of them is Novi. She said that the film delivers many moral messages to the audience, just like the story in the novel Almost is Never Enough by Sefryana Khairil, which she had read beforehand.

"I read the book, it's good, and this film is a perfect blend of emotions, inspiration, and awareness of the wonders of love and friendship," said Novi after watching.

"The film is emotionally draining and brings tears," added Sinta, Novi's friend.

Maura confides in her close friend, Ella (Anggika Bolsterli), a single parent from Indonesia who also lives in Baku.

Ella understands Maura's desire to have a child, and to please Maura, she eventually agrees to become a surrogate mother by lending her womb.

However, an unexpected event occurs while Ella is pregnant. Maura dies in a tragic accident.

This event deeply affects Ella and Joshua. Their lives become chaotic, not according to what was planned.
