Pelangi di Mars
In the year 2090, Earth faces a severe clean water crisis, with vital resources controlled by the Nerotek corporation. To find a solution, Pratiwi (Lutesha) is sent to Mars to search for Zeolite Omega, a mineral believed to purify water. During the mission, Pratiwi is found to be pregnant and gives birth to Pelangi (Messi Gusti), the first human born on Mars. After humans leave the planet, Pelangi grows up alone on Mars, accompanied by a damaged robot she considers family. She embarks on a dangerous journey to find Zeolite Omega, while discovering the meaning of friendship, courage, and hope to save Earth, and eventually meeting her father, Banyu (Rio Dewanto).
Upie Guava, the director, screenwriter, and cinematographer, is known for his work in documentaries and music videos, particularly the docudrama Kemarin (2020). Pelangi di Mars marks his debut as a feature film director. Exploring outer space themes—an area not yet widely developed in the Indonesian film industry—the film has been classified by the Indonesian Film Censorship Board (LSF) for audiences of all ages (SU) (poc)
