Unable to conceive a child, a desperate woman turns to dark magic to save her marriage.
Dian (Prisia Nasution) is a woman trapped in the mundane expectations of daily life in her traditional Javanese village in Indonesia. Her marriage to Arief (Muhammad Abe) has grown cold, and she longs for love and affection. When Dian is unable to bear Arief children, his parents arrange for him to take on a second wife. Desperate, Dian seeks the help of a powerful shaman, in hopes that he can help her become pregnant. The shaman refuses. Left with no other options, Dian steals an object powered by dark magic, which ultimately leads to the truth that frees her.
