Backstage (2021)

In "Backstage" (2021), we delve into the intertwined dreams and lives of two sisters, Elsa (Vanesha Prescilla) and Sandra (Sissy Priscilla), living in the shadow of their late father. With their mother, Andini (Karina Suwandi), holding the family together by selling dumplings, the sisters find themselves working as waitresses in a humble café, their dreams of grandeur kept alive in their hearts. Elsa, the younger of the two, yearns to see herself on the silver screen, her name in lights as a celebrated movie star. Opportunity knocks when a casting call for a singer role in a film rolls into town. With courage, Elsa auditions, not with her own voice, but with her sister Sandra's. However, her acting fails to impress, and her dreams begin to crack. Just as hope seems lost, a silver lining emerges in the form of Bayu (Verdi Solaiman), a music producer who sees potential in Elsa, or more accurately, in Sandra's voice emanating from Elsa. Riding on this wave of deception, Elsa ascends to stardom, her voice captivating hearts across the nation. As Elsa's fame grows, she crosses paths with her idol, Michael Nara (Achmad Mgantara). Their lives entwine in a duet, both on stage and off, as they fall in love. However, as Elsa moves deeper into the limelight, Sandra finds herself fading into the background, the rift between the sisters widening. In this labyrinth of fame, a sinister truth lurks beneath the surface. Michael Nara, once Elsa's idol, is using her rising star to reignite his dwindling prestige. As this lie unravels, it threatens to shatter the carefully crafted world of the sisters, bringing their dreams crashing down around them.
