"Pulang" ("going home") is a short animation film about an Indonesian family who lived in France for a few years.  It tells the story about them moving back to Indonesia. They call it "going home" while it is actually the daughter’s first time visiting Indonesia.  The story is told from the perspective of the youngest daughter, who is four years old, so the reality and the imaginations get mixed up.
