Oppy & Professor Communitas is set at a weekend workshop for arts practitioners where the two main characters encounter one another as participant and trainer. Oppy is a happy-go-lucky young man who is feeling stuck as a freelance actor. The trainer, who breaks all the rules about being nice to people at workshops, is an aging professor who wants to teach people like Oppy a disciplined approach to making great works of art. He is also a compulsive storyteller who helps his students to “makan teori” (eat theory) by bundling it into the real-life stories he tells in class. Suspicious of anything that could make him lose his freedom as an artist and an individual, Oppy resists the older man’s teachings. But along the way, he also begins to wonder if he isn't missing out on something.
