If someone whom you think had always hated you now gives you a huge responsibility which will affect your whole life, will you say yes?
That’s precisely Ella’s dilemma.
When her mother leaves the family’s jamu stall to either her or her sister, neither of them wants it. Imel, her big sister, clearly states a strong objection. Does that mean the youngest daughter who always has a difficult relationship with her mother needs to bite the bullet and rise to the occasion? Is this really just about running the stall, or does the problem run deep?
