The Private Public

Summary Zeke Lareau and Auggie Jacobs are two college seniors who have never met. Both are only a semester away from graduation, or so they think. During a night out on the town, a bar scuffle breaks out and mistakenly lands them in the county jail. After spending the night in cells joined by a window, they discover that although their personalities are night and day in comparison, they both share personal desires for Auggie's extremely liberated ex-girlfriend, Laina, as well as a desire for the truth. Zeke and Auggie soon find themselves engulfed in local stardom after teaming up in film class for a locally broadcasted mini-documentary that reveals Laina's lesbian life style and Zeke and Auggie's unique interests in her. But that stardom soon places Zeke and Auggie in the greatest struggle of their lives when their second documentary, which exposes a nationally acclaimed professor as a sexual offender, is met by opposition from the university, as well as the local authorities. Facing expulsion from the university and possible charges from local authorities, Auggie and Zeke, as well as mid-life crisis advocate Professor Roger Powell, are faced with the question of whether to gain by subsiding, or accept whatever consequences that may come from doing the right thing.

Gali Lobang Tutup Lobang

Tells the story of the daily life of a gravedigger named Fauzi. Not only earning a living at the cemetery, Oji also works as an online motorcycle taxi driver to fulfill his life with his wife, Mimi and mother-in-law, Yati. Oji is grateful to have a wife who is easy-going. However, his wife's behavior is much different from his mother-in-law. Oji's mother-in-law is always demanding and never feels enough to receive the money Oji gets. She always compares Oji to Ubay, who used to be Mimi's boyfriend before Mimi finally chose Oji. Yati's regret is always mentioned when she is upset with Oji. This is because Ubay and his wife Norma live across the street from their house. Every time Ubay buys new items or furniture, Yati immediately gets grumpy and Oji is always the target. But Oji tried to remain patient. Norma herself is actually afraid that Ubay still has a heart with his ex-girlfriend, Mimi. She also always wants to bring down Oji and Mimi, so that they look bad in Ubay's eyes. Norma also doesn't want to look inferior in terms of appearance to Mimi at any event in their village. But not only with Mimi, Norma also started a war with Yati. Oji himself is actually not very poor. Oji's parents' family owns a very large piece of land. If the land is sold, the profit is enough to make Oji rich. Unfortunately, the land is still in dispute with a large company. While Oji is busy with the business of digging holes to bury the dead, Yati and several other people are also busy with digging holes to make their living, or just to cover their pride.
