What happens when losing a job becomes the unexpected beginning of a whole new journey?
That is the premise behind Agensi Rumah Tangga, an upcoming Indonesian comedy-drama that follows a woman who turns a difficult moment in her life into an opportunity to start over. Starring Enzy Storia and Afgan, the film combines humor, heartfelt moments, and everyday struggles in an urban setting.
Produced by Starvision, Agensi Rumah Tangga is scheduled to hit cinemas across Indonesia on September 10, 2026.
A Story About Starting Over
The film centers on Katia Asmaranto, a woman whose life takes an unexpected turn after she is laid off from her job at a startup.
Suddenly without a steady income, Katia finds herself facing the pressure of everyday expenses and home loan payments. Instead of giving up, she looks for a way to get back on her feet.
Her solution? Starting her own domestic helper placement agency, run from her very own home.
What initially seems like a practical way to earn a living soon turns into something much bigger. As Katia begins connecting domestic workers with clients, she finds herself dealing with a wide range of personalities, expectations, conflicts, and unexpected situations.
Through it all, Katia discovers that running a business is not simply about making money. It is also about understanding people.
Enzy Storia Leads a Strong Ensemble
Enzy Storia takes on the role of Katia, portraying a modern woman who is resilient, determined, and deeply empathetic.
Her journey is at the heart of the film, particularly as she navigates the challenges of rebuilding her career while remaining compassionate toward the domestic workers who become part of her agency.
Meanwhile, Afgan joins Enzy Storia as one of the film’s leading actors, adding another layer to the story and its ensemble of talented performers.
The cast also features Ardit Erwandha, Yunita Siregar, Ita Anggraini, Unique Priscilla, Nazira C. Noer, Tike Priatnakusumah, Nada Novia, Ummi Quary, Musdalifah Basri, Mega Salsabila, Nury Zhafira, Priska Baru Segu, Astrid Juwita, Boah Sartika, Neneng Wulandari, Dea Panendra, Khalif Al Juna, and Farrel Rafisqy.
With such a diverse lineup, the film promises plenty of colorful characters and entertaining interactions throughout Katia’s journey.
Adapted from a Bestselling Novel
Adding to the anticipation, Agensi Rumah Tangga is adapted from the bestselling novel of the same name by Almira Bestari.
The film is directed by Naya Anindita, who previously worked on projects including Komang and Tunggu Aku Sukses Nanti. The screenplay is written by Upi alongside Ayu Anggraini Putri.
The creative team brings together comedy, drama, and relatable everyday situations to create a story that is entertaining while still grounded in real-life struggles.
More Than Just a Comedy
Although Agensi Rumah Tangga is presented as a comedy-drama, the story explores issues that are much closer to everyday life than they may initially seem.
Katia’s experiences touch on unemployment, financial pressure, entrepreneurship, workplace uncertainty, and the complicated relationships between domestic workers and their employers.
The film also explores the challenges of managing a new business while navigating the expectations of clients and the needs of the workers she represents. These situations provide plenty of room for humor, but they also highlight the human side of a profession that is often overlooked.
One of the central conflicts comes when Katia is faced with a difficult choice: should she continue building her domestic helper agency, or return to working for a company?
That dilemma adds an emotional layer to the story, reflecting the difficult career and financial decisions many people face in today’s fast-changing world.
A Warm Story About Finding a New Path
At its core, Agensi Rumah Tangga is a story about resilience, empathy, and finding a new direction when life does not go according to plan.
Katia’s journey shows that sometimes, an unexpected setback can lead to an opportunity that we never imagined. With its combination of comedy, drama, relatable characters, and social themes, the film aims to offer audiences both entertainment and something to think about.
With Enzy Storia and Afgan leading the cast and a bestselling novel serving as its foundation, Agensi Rumah Tangga is shaping up to be one of Indonesia’s upcoming films worth keeping an eye on.
Mark your calendar for September 10, 2026, and get ready to meet Katia and the colorful world of Agensi Rumah Tangga in cinemas across Indonesia.
