Lesbian Lips

Set in Jakarta, this film addresses the controversial practice of
polygamny and its malcontents by interweaving the stories of three very
different women. Salma, a gynecologist, is married to a successful
television host who takes a second, and then a third wife. Initially
crushed by this discovery, Salma decides to accept her lot as a good
Muslim wife, but when her husband falls ill, she is forced to confront
his other wives and the absurd reality of her situation. Siti, a
small-town girl, understands too late the real intentions of her
"uncle," who brought her to Jakarta with the promise of putting her
through beauty school. An unexpected and intimate bond with one of her
uncle's two wives, however, emboldens her to pursue her freedom.
Finally, Ming is the prettiest waitress at a popular roast duck stall,
where she carries on a surreptitious romance and eventually becomes the
second wife of the stall's chef. Unaware of one another's stories,
these three women cross paths as they contend with the trials and
injustices of polygamy.
