Ester an eighteen years old girl who lives in the Nainggolan village around Toba lakes in Medan, goes about her daily routine until she met with a strange man Raja (M/24). Raja is the brother of one of the local girls who is her acquaintance, which just moved back to the village after a long time being away. The two unintentionally fell in love with each other although knowing that it was forbidden due to their family background. Ester and Raja lives in a village which is still strong with their cultural influences and one of it is the people with the same Marga cannot marry, Ester and Raja coming from the same Marga is now in trouble. Knowing that they cannot be together and live in that village, they decided to run away together. Unfortunately, as they were planning it, the local residents attacked the house they were in and they were punished accordingly. Which in the case of their culture is to be tied up to a post for an unknown period of time.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
