Balada Sepasang Kekasih Gila offers a poetic and unusual narrative told from a childs perspective, portraying love through the lens of two outcasts considered mentally ill.

Despite strong performances from Denny Sumargo and debutant Sara Fajira, the film falls short of fully realizing its emotional and philosophical potential.
