Music from the 2018 documentary film by Christopher Basile — A portrait of the charismatic and outspoken Javanese modern artist Kartika Affandi, her remarkable life, and her powerful paintings and sculpture.

The story of Kartika Affandi is the story of a woman determined to express herself on her own terms, and to make a career as a modern artist, although she was born into a society and a time in which this was unprecedented and considered an impossible goal for a female.

Kartika was taught to paint by her father, the legendary Affandi, the nation's most celebrated and renowned artist. But she was warned that despite her prodigious talent and determination she would be fated to live in his artistic shadow.

Still actively painting, sculpting and exhibiting at the age of 83, the story of Kartika Affandi is a story of triumph. It is the story of how one woman succeeded in bringing her uniquely beautiful, complex, deeply personal, and sometimes shocking artistic vision to life.
