The Waves Saga

Hikayat hayat tanah bayah

Synopsis

West Java, in current-day Indonesia, was home to the Sundanese Kingdom that flourished for over nine centuries, yet few physical traces remain today that sing of its glory. Nestled in a geologically sensitive zone, the region has long been subject to nature’s unabated fury, with periodic earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions wiping out its heritage and reducing it to a “landscape of amnesia”.
