Abstract :
Film is a mass media that can describe a certain situation through the characters
in it. There has been a shift in the depiction of the father's character in films in
Indonesia after the 2000 era, where one of the films with a family theme that
focuses on the main character of the father is the film NKCTHI: Nanti Kita Cerita
Tentang Hari Ini. This film is one of the few films in Indonesia that depicts the
father's character as a dominant figure related to a patriarchal culture where men
are considered to have the power to make decisions in the family but the father's
character in this film also participates. in doing domestic work. This study uses a
qualitative method with Pierce's semiotic analysis to get a picture of the
representation of the father's character through the signs, objects, and interpreters
in the scenes in the NKCTHI : Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari ini film. The results
of this study indicate that the character of the father in this film is still represented
as a dominant figure through his role as a protetor so that it can be associated with
the practice of patriarchal culture that is still valid in Indonesia, especially in the
family sphere
