In Bahasa Indonesia with English subtitles • Nifty plot twists and running references to the Aceh tsunami link together the stories in director Nia Dinata's intriguing portrait of polygamous lifestyles in contemporary Jakarta. A gynecologist, Salma discovers, to her shock, that her husband has taken a second wife. She tolerates successive wives as "a good Muslim wife" should, until an incident forces her to cater to everyone in his circle. Siti, a country girl, realizes too late that her uncle, who has moved her to Jakarta with the promise of sending her to beauty school, has other intentions. In a packed household, Siti's hope for survival rests in her growing intimacy with one of her uncle's other wives. And Ming, a waitress–and material girl–contrives to become her Catholic boss' second wife. Under Dinata's deft direction, the lives of these three women from different classes and ethnic backgrounds intersect seamlessly as the similarities in their stories are revealed. — F. Loden
