'NORMA: BETWEEN IN-LAW AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW' Ready to Premiere on Eid with a 13+ Rating, Raising Issues of Infidelity that Shakes Families

Kapanlagi.com - The production house Dee Company officially announced that the film NORMA: BETWEEN IN-LAW AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW has received a viewer age rating of 13+. This decision was revealed through the latest poster upload featuring Norma (Tissa Biani) standing facing forward, while behind her, the shadows of Irfan (Yusuf Mahardika) and Rina (Wulan Guritno) can be seen together. The poster successfully builds curiosity about the drama presented in this film.

This film raises the theme of infidelity inspired by a real-life story that went viral, but that’s not the only aspect that we want to highlight. The producer and CEO of Dee Company, Dheeraj Kalwani, believes that the message about loyalty and family dynamics is also important for teenagers to understand.

"We are indeed adapting the viral infidelity issue. But we think teenagers also need to learn about loyalty. That’s why this film does not only emphasize that issue," said Dheeraj.

1. Ensure the Scenes are Artistically Packaged and Not Vulgar

Although addressing a rather sensitive topic, Dheeraj ensures that the scenes presented are packaged artistically and not vulgarly. To maintain those boundaries, the shooting process involved an Intimacy Coordinator who ensures that intimate scenes are performed professionally while keeping the actors' comfort in mind.

"However, during the shooting process, we already used an Intimacy Coordinator. Physical relationships are still present, but the portion and portrayal are artistic, not vulgar," he explained.

2. Response from Wulan Guritno

Meanwhile, Wulan Guritno enthusiastically welcomed the decision to give a 13+ rating. She feels that the film can be a viewing option that sparks healthy discussions within families, especially since its release coincides with the Lebaran moment.

"I'm happy, it can be a family film choice. Because when I accepted the offer to act in this film, I knew from the start that the emotions were complex. There are issues of parenting, romance, and etiquette in social interactions," said Wulan.

3. The Story of the Film Norma

NORMA: BETWEEN MOTHER-IN-LAW AND SON-IN-LAW tells the story of a young woman named Norma, played by Tissa Biani. Norma is known as a quiet and shy person, but she feels very lucky to marry her first love, Irfan (Yusuf Mahardika).

Their marriage initially goes happily, and Irfan is known as a caring man devoted to both of Norma's parents, Abdul (Rukman Rosadi) and Rina (Wulan Guritno).

4. Husband Cheating with Mother-in-Law

However, that happiness turns out to be an illusion. Behind Irfan's loving demeanor, he harbors a dark secret. Norma's heart shatters when she discovers that the man she loves is cheating on her.

Even more shocking, the person Irfan is cheating with is her own mother, Rina. This betrayal not only destroys Norma's marriage but also shatters her family as a whole.

5. Deep Family Conflict

Norma is confronted with a bitter reality that shakes her soul. She struggles to find answers and understand how all of this could happen to her. In her journey to find the strength to rise, Norma is also faced with a major dilemma between forgiving or letting go.

This film, which highlights such a profound family conflict, is expected to provide valuable lessons about loyalty, family relationships, and the strength of a woman in facing the storms of life. With stunning performances from the cast and a storyline full of surprises, Norma: Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law becomes one of the films to look forward to this Eid.
