Pipin Kartika is fixated on marrying a "bule"—an Indonesian term for a foreigner, especially for white people. As she approaches 30, her dream man remains elusive. Frustrated by a string of encounters with "jerk bule" in Jakarta, Pipin decides to move to Bali in pursuit of love. With the help of her friend Arik, Pipin meets Buyung, a man of mixed heritage. Pipin is initially attracted, but her interest wanes when she discovers Buyung is actually her childhood friend in disguise. She then tries her luck with Gianfranco , an Italian man, and quickly falls for him. However, her hopes are dashed when Gianfranco turns out to be a liar. Left single, with dwindling savings and no foreign boyfriend, Pipin is haunted by the fear of becoming an old maid. [1]
