Synopsis
Cigarette Girl (Gadis Kretek, 2023) is an Indonesian period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Set on 1960s Java, it drops you into the clove-cigarette trade — kretek — a craft run almost entirely by men.
Dasiyah doesn't just want to roll cigarettes; she wants to invent the secret flavor blend that defines a kretek. Her gift collides with tradition, family duty and a romance no one approves of. Decades later, a dying tobacco tycoon asks his son to track down a woman named Jeng Yah, and the past surfaces one letter at a time. Dian Sastrowardoyo, Ario Bayu and Putri Marino lead the cast.
Directed by Kamila Andini and Ifa Isfansyah from Ratih Kumala's novel, it's a slow-burning, gorgeously shot story about a woman ahead of her era. Stream Cigarette Girl online on iFILM.
