Cindelaras

A “Rebel/Rival Media and Purple Basil Productions” FILM
WRITTEN BY PJ Ahern

Cindelaras believes the journey he is about to embark on is one to meet Raden Putra, the king of Jenggala kingdom and also his father.
However the truth of reality juxtaposes the innocence of a child’s imagination as he is a five year old Indonesian boy in a boat
full of refugees bound for New Zealand.
The voyage in a makeshift tug boat fighting a desperate battle to maintain boyancy is world’s way from Cindelaras’ view of a luxurious cruise liner splitting the oceans with swashbuckling ease.
A refreshing tale that challenges the Samuel Johnston quote, which is “to use travelling to regulate the imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.”

The ultimate prince of poverty who dares to dream of being king in a new land.
