Description: “A Perfect Fit” is a 2021 film that explores the profound connection between life and the shoes we wear. The narrative emphasizes the importance of choosing shoes that fit perfectly, just as we must make choices in life that align with our true selves. The story suggests that shoes can reflect a person’s character, social status, and value.
Directed by Hadrah Daeng Ratu, known for her film “Makmun” (2019), and written by Garin Nugroho, who gained attention for “Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku” (2020), “A Perfect Fit” is Netflix Indonesia’s first original film in collaboration with Starvision. The movie showcases the healing beauty of Bali through its cinematography.
The plot follows Saski (Nadya Arina), a Balinese fashion blogger, whose life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a shoe shop called “Shoes, with Love.” There, she meets Rio (Refal Hady), a gentle and charming shoemaker. Their connection challenges Saski’s relationship with her narcissistic and prestigious boyfriend, Deni (Giorgina Abraham). The story draws parallels to the classic Cinderella tale but incorporates Balinese culture and a more realistic approach. Instead of a fairy godmother, the film features an eccentric woman with tarot cards and natural elements as her tools. The movie delves into how relationships can sometimes confine one’s true identity.
“A Perfect Fit” is a thought-provoking and refreshing film that blends romance, self-discovery, and cultural richness.
