While the film is often categorized as a romantic drama set in 1930s Sarawak (Borneo), to view it solely as a love story is to miss its profound function as a “cinematic installation.” An installation, in the artistic sense, immerses the viewer in a space, forcing them to navigate its architecture and textures.
