Synopsis
Power, corruption and lies
Rakib is the latest in his family to work as the caretaker of an Indonesian army general’s empty mansion in rural Indonesia, a job that has been in the family for generations. When General Puran, now retired, returns to run for political office, the young Rakib is enthralled by his aura of power and becomes his right-hand man. Rakib finds a father-figure in the chess-loving Puran. But the consequences of his efforts to impress the general cause him to question his loyalty.
