FINGER PRINT
About the documentary
A story about a Balinese painter who discovered the fingerprint technique which is part of the pointillism style by accident and claimed to be the only one in the world. In the midst of his old age, the painter experienced the glow and dim of his popularity on his own island, abandoned from the hustle and bustle of the world of celebrity art, and his health began to decline in the middle of the pandemic era. Now the artist shares his fingerprint to open the door of many untold stories and is looking for self-validation because he refuses to be forgotten by history to leave an imprint for the next generation. Sharing his life history from thick feudalism, the colonial era, the era of mass murder in Bali to the bombing terror that became the turning point of his life.
