"You ever miss someone you've never met?"
Ike has always been chasing something. A new stamp, a new skyline, a story to carry home. But after years of solo travel, he's tired of empty souvenirs and hostel goodbyes. That's when Raya enters the picture - a whip-smart, charming Indonesian girl he meets online during lockdown. What begins as long-distance flirting soon spirals into something deeper, more dangerous, and more real than Ike's ever known.
Now, in the thick heat of a post-pandemic Indonesia, Ike finds himself walking into a life that isn't quite his, in a culture he doesn't fully understand, for a girl he's never touched - but already loves. What follows is a journey of romance, obsession, culture shock, and slow unraveling, as the lines between adventure and escape begin to blur.
A story about memory, distance, and the stories we tell ourselves just to keep going - The Soundtrack to Silence is not a fairytale. It's a mixtape of longing.
