Impressed by the historical past of his family, the director paints an emotional biography of Indonesia by this 115-minute characteristic movie, which shines the highlight on the story of younger “Rakib” who lives alone together with his employer “Purna”, a retired basic, in a small city in Indonesia.
When “Purna” returns residence to start his marketing campaign for the municipal elections, “Rakib”, whose father is in jail, builds a bond with the outdated man, who shortly turns into a mentor and father determine. Sooner or later, when he discovers the electoral portrait of “Purna” vandalized, “Rakib” units out in pursuit of the wrongdoer and thus triggers a spiral of violence.
Profiting from the brand new place given to him by his proximity to energy and satisfied that the outdated man could also be imperious and demanding, however hardly merciless, “Rakib” finds the wrongdoer and fingers him over to the final.
