Plot
Indonesians Diana and Dika, the latter of whom has a characteristically lazy personality, live at a Kuala Lumpur apartment. Bored of constantly staying home, "Bossman", Dika's friend whom he first met when studying in California, offers Diana a job as an administrator. On the day of the interview, Diana is surprised by how many people dislike Bossman, and she later comes to dislike him too. Bossman is widely seen as gibberish, entitled, weird, and irritating. Though rich, Bossman refuses to manage the office's crippling structure and broken air conditioner.
As Bossman's stupidity worsens in her eyes, Diana contemplates resigning and even murdering him with a Molotov bomb. Dika constantly reassures her "Dia memang begitu", meaning "That's the way he is", further irritating Diana. To take revenge on him, Diana and the four main workers (Norah Sikin, Mr. Kho, Azhari, and Adrian) disturb Bossman in a variety of ways, from calling him while he is asleep, to calling in the landlord. In the latter, as Bossman flees via a secret door, all employees dance in freedom.
However the joy only lasts for short, and Diana's contemplation become more robust. Dika encourages her to declare resignation respectfully. As she is about to, however, Bossman brings her on a ride to an orphanage. Bossman explains that one day, he saw a boy who brought his laptop to him when he forgot. He secretly follows the boy, who is a member of the orphanage, helping a blind peer walk to the decaying building. He expresses willingness to upgrade the orphanage to a more lively one. Bossman's kindness reminds Diana and the workers that there is good in everyone.
