Live-in nurse Murni works for Pak Harun, a lonely and bitter elderly man who continually harangues his caregiver. Murni attempts, but fails, to cook a signature dish that is exactly like the one cooked by Harun’s late. Despite this, she sings all day in the kitchen, which serves only to irritate Pak Harun further. Murni must discover the elusive ingredient that can unlock the tension between her and Pak Harun, remedy their damaged hearts, and bring them together to sing the same tune.
