Sinopsis momentánea en inglés: A stubborn kid, a quiet widow, and a sketchy Elvis impersonator clash in LETTER TO AN ANGEL, the first feature shot on the Indonesian island of Sumba, and an early work of Garin Nugroho, soon to rise to international prominence for his films about cultural traditions across the archipelago. A post-modern fable of globalization, LETTER TO AN ANGEL takes place, as the titles tell us, at “a certain place at a certain time,” evoking the timeless while winking about the peculiarities of the present, in which the young boy, Lewa, spends his after-school hours roving a village that features an abandoned truck splashed by a Madonna poster, and a beached plane that may as well be an alien spaceship. One day, Lewa gets pulled into a fashion shoot in search of “exotic” characters, but when the crew gifts him a Polaroid camera, he becomes the master of the gaze – that is, until his photos spark trouble on the island.
