Synopsis
Nur is a 13-year-old boy who lives with his father in a rural area in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Nur naturally replaced his mother in the household after her passing. Nevertheless, his father remains aloof, and decides to send Nur away to an all-boys boarding school to make him more 'manly'. Missing fatherly love, he unexpectedly gets the attention and validation he needs at school. However, he faces bullying and harassment due to his feminine nature. Everything changes when he encounters a Bissu, an androgynous local spiritual leader who believes Nur is the chosen one to replace them. Presented with a chance to finally get acceptance, Nur has to choose which path to take. His choice will reshape his relationship with his father forever.
