Cigarette Girl (2023) is an Indonesia series based on the eponymous book by Ratih Kumala.

The story moves between the 1960s and early 2000s.

In the 1960s, Raja (Ario Bayu) begins work at a kretek (Indonesian cigarette) factory. He falls in love with his boss’ daughter, Jeng Yah (Dian Sastrowardoyo), but the couple aren’t able to marry.

On his deathbed in 2001, Raja sends his youngest son to find Jeng Yah. Lebas (Arya Saloka) locates Jeng Yah’s daughter who **spoiler alert** doesn’t know she has been raised by an aunt rather than by her mother.
