Dilan 1990

In 1990, Milea relocates from Jakarta to Bandung with her family and enrolls at a new high school. On her first day, she meets Dilan, a charismatic student known for his rebellious reputation and leadership of a motorbike gang. Their brief encounter leaves an impression, as Dilan confidently predicts that she will one day become his girlfriend.

Dilan begins courting Milea through playful visits, phone calls, and small gifts. Although Milea is still in a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Benni in Jakarta, she becomes increasingly uncomfortable with his aggressive and vulgar behavior. During a school trip to Jakarta, Benni confronts Milea and violently attacks her friend Nandan, accusing him of trying to take her away. After Benni insults her, Milea ends the relationship and refuses his subsequent apology.

As Milea grows closer to Dilan, the two spend time together riding his motorbike, talking late at night, and building an emotional bond. Milea persuades Dilan to distance himself from gang violence, and their relationship deepens as she becomes close to his mother and learns that he has been writing poems about her.

Tension arises when Kang Adi, Milea’s private tutor, takes her to his university against her wishes. Misunderstanding the situation, Dilan sends Milea a letter expressing hurt and disappointment. The following day, Milea searches for him at school and is confronted by Anhar, a member of Dilan’s gang, who—while intoxicated—strikes her. Upon learning of the incident, Dilan attacks Anhar in anger. Later that day, Dilan and Milea formally acknowledge their relationship, confirming the bond that has developed between them.
