Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous political climate of 1960s Jakarta, "Monkeys in the Dark" follows Alexandra Wheatfield, a young Australian journalist, as she navigates a world on the brink of change. Amidst the raw and vibrant atmosphere of the Indonesian capital, Alexandra becomes entangled in an affair with Maruli Hutabarat, a poet and political activist.
As Sukarno's reign teeters and the country faces upheaval, Alexandra finds herself torn between her own cultural background and the allure of Indonesian society. Her involvement with Maruli draws her deeper into the political turmoil, where she must confront conflicting loyalties and the risk of betrayal from both sides. This is a story of love, loss and political awakening.
