Using a descriptive qualitative approach and open-ended questionnaires, the research analyzes patterns of interpersonal communication between characters and viewers' emotional responses.

The balance of verbal and nonverbal language in the film fosters emotional closeness between the audience and the characters. Additionally, the portrayal of Bandung with a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere enhances its visual appeal, shaping a positive perception of the city.
