Giandra (Aditya Zoni), a young doctor graduated from STOVIA, is troubled after reading a news article about a girl named Layla (Aisha Kastolan), who has been shackled in a remote village called Karuhun. In that community, such confinement is still believed to be a traditional “cure” for mental illness.

Giandra travels to the village, where he meets Rikke (Aurelia Lourdes), a Dutch-Indonesian journalist. They discover Layla, chained and isolated in a rundown hut. Disturbed by what he sees, Giandra urges Layla’s grandmother (Mutia Datau) to release her and seek proper medical treatment instead.
