« Dayu is a high-caste princess on her island, Bali. It is her duty to honor religious ceremonies with her noble presence on an almost daily basis in her village. In the evening, she swaps her traditional attire for a pair of jeans and Ray Bans, jumps on her metallic blue scooter and dashes off to Planet Hollywood in Kuta where she officiates as a night hostess. »
