Very impressed and pleasantly surprised by Netflix's "Abadi Nan Jaya" (The Elixir)! I find it really solid from beginning to end. I don't know if it's intentional, but I like the ~~dichotomy between the wealthy and the poor that's subtly depicted in the movie, and how the zombie breakout is caused by the greed of the wealthy, but it's the poor who suffer more. At the same time, they're more self-sufficient and seem to have more survival instinct than the spoiled rich brats. This dichotomy is also shown in the languages/dialects used, but unfortunately, I don't know if it translates well in the subtitles.
Anyway, I recommend!
