After the collected data is classified, analysis is carried out by applying Roland Barthes' Semiotic analysis techniques which include denotation, connotation and myth as the main analysis tools. Through this semiotic theory approach, a film is not only interpreted at the level of an explicitly revealed narrative, but also explored to identify the myths implicit in the narrative. This film shows a story that is very relevant to the current condition of Indonesian society, especially in facing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Through various scenes in the film, various aspects of the impact of the pandemic, such as economic, health, educational and social, are depicted in detail.
