This film depicts an aspect of the country that few people are aware of. Raising the issue of disability by depicting the character's hardships, including disputes with family, the surroundings, and even himself. Many unbelievable events occur in the plot as the character searches for his identity. Read Indonesian review in http://www.alunauwie.com/2020/08/film-37-seconds-andai-aku-bisa-bernafas.html
