Saras (Aghniny Haque) and Yudhis (Bastian Steel) are left orphans after the death of their father, Hadi (Epy Kusnandar). Before his passing, Hadi’s will was to be buried in his village. However, Saras plans to go against his wishes, wanting him buried beside their late mother in Surabaya so the family could be together in one place. Yet, on the morning before the burial, Hadi’s body mysteriously appears in front of the house of Setyo (Adjie NA), Hadi’s younger brother who lives in the village. Saras and Yudhis must now question whether they should honor their father’s final request.
