Rana, who is followed by a wrapped ghost, has to go to a remote village to get rid of the ghost. Until she realizes that the village trapped her and the only way out is to embrace her ghost-seeing ability.

After her Grandmother passed away, Rana inherited her Grandmother's ability to see the wrapped ghosts, Pocong, and was then taken by Jalu to visit the village and protect her from the Pocong. She came to enjoy living there with her newfound family. After settling in the village and marrying Jalu, she began to notice anomalies happening to the women in the village and eventually discovered the truth behind the clean water shortages that had been happening in her old village. With the help of another villager, Asri, she also learned that unbeknownst to them, the Pocong actually serves as guardian to the women in the village. After disaster struck the village, Rana and Asri managed to inspire the other women to break away from the village.

Sadly, patriarchy still becomes the basis of life in Indonesia. By carrying the name of religion, culture and beliefs, women still live by rules that objectify them. What’s worse, if we as women try to get out of these rules, we will be labelled as difficult and complicated women. Even women who are more vocal and have capabilities in professional work are told that they will live alone forever.
Even when we read fairy tales in Indonesia, most powerful women end tragically. Some disappeared and lived in solitude, others ended in death. On the other hand, women who follow the rules and live conventional lives are still exposed to problems. For the past two years, divorce cases in Indonesia have increased to 53%, with domestic violence being the third biggest cause of divorce. It feels like there’s no solution to all of these problems.
Our film is inspired by so many unseen things in a normal looking society in our country. Speaking directly to the embodiment of Indonesia, my film uses Pocong to represent the women’s fear of becoming independent. Even though they’re terrifying, they can’t do abusive physical things, like humans.
