Septiani Lukita, director and film writer script revealed that the message contained in this film was appropriate with this year's FFMI theme, "Indonesia Gemilang". The 10-minute film tells about how much Indonesian culture should be preserved in the midst of exposure to foreign culture (K-pop) in Indonesia.

Before competing in the contest, Kim Soo Ri's film had a duration of 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the FFMI committee required a film with a maximum duration of 10 minutes. Lukita admitted that this requirement was the biggest challenge for his team. As a result, he had to cut several scenes, without reducing the essence which wanted to convey.
