Film Synopsis 'ALI & RATU-RATU QUEENS', The Journey to Find Mother to New York

ALI AND THE QUEENS tells the story of Ali (Iqbaal Ramadhan) who goes to New York to find his mother, Mia (Marissa Anita), who has been missing from his life for a long time. This film, directed by Lucky Kuswandi, is inspired by a true story. 

In Ali's memory, Mia left for New York first. Mia promised that when she succeeded, she would bring Ali to New York. That promise never came, until Ali grew up. 

Until finally, Ali found out that Mia had sent him a plane ticket. However, Ali's extended family agreed to 'protect' Ali by not conveying that information to him.

With limited provisions, Ali departed for New York. However, at the address he believed to be his mother's, Ali instead encountered these four unique women.

They are Party (Nirina), Ance (Tika Panggabean), Cinta (Happy Salma), and Biyah (Asri Welas). All four of them are Indonesian women struggling to survive in the harsh city of New York.

While searching for his mother's whereabouts, Ali stays with these four 'Queens'.

Ali is also assisted by Eva (Aurora Ribero), Ance's daughter. As a child who grew up in New York, Eva certainly knows more about the ins and outs of the Big Apple city. 

Will Ali be able to meet Mia in the future? Watch this movie on Netflix. 

ALI AND THE QUEENS OF QUEENS presents a family drama that invites viewers to see Ali develop into a more mature figure. 

Ali's journey to find her mother leads her to discover the true meaning of family. The chemistry between Ali and the four Queens is commendable. 

In his tweet on Twitter, Iqbaal mentioned that the characterization of Ali in this film is unusual. Ali is a portrayal of a male character from a perspective that has never been seen in Indonesian films.

Watch ALI & RATU-RATU QUEENS on Netflix. The film has been released since June 17th.
