Indonesian Drama Quick Escalation...

I hardly ever watch (Indonesian) drama movies, although I used to watch Korean dramas in the past. Anyway, for some reason I decided to watch an Indonesian drama movie when I came across one on youtube... (I know, youtube-quality, horrible choice for watching movies! At least it was not divided in parts...)

At first it was about a girl, named Cinta, who met a boy by chance. His name was Arkana and he was trying to break through in music / radio. (or something like that, because I watched without English subtitles and my Indonesian is not very strong).
Very typical, very innocent.

Suddenly it turned out the girl's father had a speech impairment and didn't have a wife (anymore?). Then the boy his parents turned out not to be living together but his (step?)dad came (back?) living with them. Arkana didn't accept this. Fights.

Arkana and Cinta meet up secretly, Cinta's dad finds out, relationship not accepted. Suddenly Cinta is not only motherless, but also actually an adopted child. Her dad now hates Arkana as he sees her being kissed (on the cheek).

Cinta secretly goes to meet mother of Arkana, father of Arkana shows up, family fight. Suddenly Cinta gets an unexplained bleeding nose and later faints and is hospitalized. Cinta breaks up with Arkana (I think?) One day Arkana runs after car with Cinta in it (very typical) and gets hit by a motorcyclist (even more typical).

Cinta needs more hospitalization, meanwhile Arkana develops health issues too.
Then Cinta goes through a big operation and heals, but Arkana has passed away during her recovery due to complications during his operation... Say what?!

That escalated way too far, and too quickly too, because the movie isn't even 75 minutes long! By the way, the movie was called "Seandainya".

Secretly I enjoy movies like this though. Not because of the story, the (rather poor) movie quality, the music or even the actors, I simply like it because it is spoken in Indonesian... :') If it was spoken in English or Dutch I wouldn't spend any time on them. It just gives me such a kick when I understand parts of the things they say! :D

Anyway, this movie has been more than enough drama for me for at least three months! xP
