Something Good Going On

In his last days home, Christian (Arnold Setiadi) a first-generation Indonesian teen, confronts a strained relationship with his immigrant waiter father (Kaidy Kuna, Oscar-Qualifying "Daly City"), a stolen restaurant paycheck, and the cost of his Ivy League future. A funny, bittersweet portrait of messy love, sacrifice, and the unexpected joy we find in the struggle.

This story uplifts imperfect, working-class immigrants who defy the model minority myth. It honors messy families, invisible struggles, and the unseen village behind success with humor, heart, and a distinctly Indonesian American voice.
