Overview

Wulan moves to a village with her mother, Ratih. After working at a tea factory, they move into an old house owned by the company. From then on, Wulan begins to experience strange dreams and mysterious events, eventually losing control of herself. The villagers attribute these disturbances to Marni, a former resident of the house whose story has remained a mystery for decades. When Wulan’s story spreads on social media, Damar, a reporter and native son of the village, arrives to investigate. Suradi, who is aware of the powers of the past, comes to help. Together, they try to sever Wulan’s connection to Marni and the power of Dhandhang Gendhing.
