How it feels

A Chinese-born man moves to Indonesia as a baby, grows up poor, and gives up his own dreams so his brother can study medicine. He becomes a sports teacher and falls in love with a student from a wealthy family, but holds back because of their differences. The film follows their relationship across years of hardship and sacrifice.
