Director Statement

A Road to Farewell tells a story about relationship between Bagaskoro, a family driver and Arya, an autistic boy who just got into an ordinary elementary school. Bagaskoro is a father to be. He doesn’t really like to deal with kids, but he has to drive Arya every day to school, until his feelings towards Arya suddenly grew.

In this film, I want to share that there’s always a silver lining in everything that happens in life. We just have to set aside our ego, and positively see the big picture.
