Abstract: Independence is a crucial character trait for adolescents to develop as they navigate life's various challenges. As an audiovisual medium, film can portray character values and serve as a tool in guidance and counseling services. This study aims to examine the representation of independence in the film Home Sweet Loan and its relevance to adolescent guidance and counseling. A qualitative approach utilizing content analysis was employed. Data were gathered through the observation of scenes, dialogue, and the film's plot. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the character Kaluna’s independence is represented through her decision-making ability, sense of responsibility, emotional independence, hard work, and resilience. These traits are evidenced by her consistency in working and supporting her family while saving for a home, her steadfastness in pursuing her goal despite family pressure, and her emotional regulation during conflicts. These values are relevant to personal, social, and classroom guidance services; furthermore, the film can serve as a reflective tool—through cinematherapy—to help adolescents develop independence, decision-making skills, emotional management, and problem-solving abilities.
