Altaf
Altaf, a 38-year-old man from Depok, West Java, grapples with the pressures of middle-class life, balancing the demands of family responsibilities and financial obligations while projecting an image of success. Despite appearing to live a comfortable life with a home and vehicles, he struggles under the weight of debt and rising costs of living, reflecting the broader challenges faced by Indonesia's middle class amid economic stagnation. The term 'Duck Syndrome' aptly describes his experience, as he strives to maintain a facade of calm and control while feeling overwhelmed beneath the surface.
