Description

For Ona, a young woman from the small Indonesian island of Kaledupa, the struggle to receive an education and marry a decent man is hard won. Her dream is to become a marine biologist and she has the drive to do it, despite no one in her family believing in her. However, her focus on her studies is interrupted when the man she is betrothed to marry is released from prison and rapes her, leaving her no choice but to demand he marry her, so she can protect the good name of her unsupportive family.
