Chand Kelvin was one of the actors who played as a transvestite in the movie. He wanted to show the other side of a transvestite:"It's a new experience, being a transvestite. However, that's just acting. Usually there is a judgment among the community that transvestites are scums of society. The movie 'Lawang Park' is also showing the other side, namely how difficult it is to earn money. So I thought, transvestites should not be looked down upon"[3]

Plot

The story is of a young journalist named reliable Angie (Angie Virgin) challenged to investigate mysterious events in Lawang Park. The event begins with the death of a transvestite, named Ningrum.
