THIS FILM IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY

OF A MASS POSSESSION THAT AFFECTED DOZENS OF STUDENTS IN YOGYAKARTA IN 2016.

THE NAMES AND LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN CHANGED

TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF THOSE AFFECTED, ALONG WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

Hi.

You can put this on.

- Is it fine here? - Sure.

Okay, so…

You can start telling your story now.

Please.

It happened in 2016.

At that time, I was the Chief of the Scout Crew

of the annual camping trip.

- Okay. - It's like the school's routine activity.

- By the way, Wahyu. - Yes?

How did you find out about

the mass possession during our camping trip?

Oh, I found out about it from my friend.

And my friend said that once a year,

you take your friend back to the same campsite.

Well, there's a rumor that you've been practicing magic.

That you deal with the devil, whatever…

So, what is this interview for?

To clear the rumors your friend told you?

Oh, no, no.

I'm actually writing a book, and I find your story interesting.

This is research.

- For your book? - Yes.

NOTES: CAMPING TRIP 2016

Here.

We tried to find a place

that was different from the previous sites.

A place that is rarely visited.

- See. - Oh, right.

Yes.

At first, we were so excited planning the whole thing.

We never thought

that what happened there would change our lives.

Ah, here.

This is Rini.

If I knew she'd end up like this,

I would have never let her come along.

Here.

Why do you push yourself so hard? You have asthma.

What do you mean?

You keep running.

You knew Mr. Karso was going to make us run today.

Yet you still practiced yesterday.

You think I don't know that?

I just want to get a good score.

Do you just want a good score,

or do you not want to faint during the camping trip?

What's the matter, Rin?

What are you trying to prove?

I just don't want our squad to lose, Nay.

Because of me.

Don't think about it, Rin.

It's fine if we lose.

But once in a while,

I want to be accepted.

Not just be a burden.

Rin.

Personally,

I just hope there are no ghosts at the camping site.

Imagine that.

Getting possessed in the middle of a forest. Who's going to help?

I'd rather faint than get possessed.

I'd rather not choose either of those.

Oh, lucky you.

If you faint,

you have Miko.

He can carry you.

You'll get help from Miko.

When will you start dating?

- Quit it. - Rini.

You keep bickering with Nayla, why?

Are you feeling better?

Go take the test then.

Go on.

Yes, sir.

This is great.

It is.

- Bro! - What?

Tell the others that we're going south for this year's camping trip.

Alright.

How did it go?

Well…

- What is it? - Well…

Grandpa Sonto wants to see us now.

Dammit. Just a second.

Heru?

Let's go.

- Ready? - Yes.

Come on.

Can you help us talk to him later?

We really have no other choice.

It'll be fine if it's in Bantul, right?

The camping site in the north is full.

And it keeps raining in the west.

Don't worry. I'll help.

- Come. - Okay.

No.

I already said no. It's still no!

No one camps there anymore.

It should've been closed off.

The previous elders

already told us to.

But we had issues with the state.

I'm sorry, Grandpa.

This is our school's annual activity.

There aren't that many people.

I'll be in charge.

I guarantee that nothing bad will happen.

You don't need to worry.

It's only for three days.

Grandpa.

I'm begging you, please.

We really have no other choice, Grandpa.

We can't possibly push back everything that's been organized, Grandpa.

We're all set to travel next week.

Grandpa.

I understand.

- You must be worried. - Of course I am.

- I am one of the elders in this village. - Are there any requirements from you?

I will keep everyone safe

until the end.

Right, Mik? Chan?

Yes, Grandpa.

FIRST CAMPING SITE

Alright, so our camping site is called Wana Alus.

It's not too hot in the afternoon

and not too cold in the evenings

because it's covered with big trees.

These are the ladies' restrooms.

As for the men,

just shower in the river.

That's ridiculous.

Can't we just take turns then?

How about you go with Chandra?

Alright, let's be serious.

This is the spring area. It is off-limits.

No one can enter this place.

These are rules set by the locals.

Don't even think of pitching your tent here.

- Alright? - Listen to that.

STUDENTS WENT MISSING IN WANA ALUS

They say it's a spooky place.

Where people find enlightenment.

Ever since the mass possession that happened in 2004,

the locals asked to close off the place.

But then the news was forgotten.

- And then… - Enough, shush.

Stop searching for it. You'll go nuts.

The tents for the boys and girls are separated.

You should all bring your supplies tomorrow

and we'll check them, alright?

And now, let's discuss the activities we will do there.

Okay?

This is my sleeping bag and my clothes.

Sleeping bag, tent, okay.

Alright, all good.

This is the sleeping bag, and this…

Remember, only bring the essentials.

Yes.

But this…

These are my medications.

I need these.

Are you camping or opening a pharmacy?

If you're that weak, you should stay home.

You sure you're coming?

Leave it. We have a first-aid kit.

Pick this up.

Once you're done, get ready for rehearsal.

We have a rehearsal before we go home.

Yes.

"In fact, Raden Mas Agung, the prince, wasn't ready to bear

the great sin against his father,

Prabu Amangkara.

He was also tempted by the charm of the promised power."

No!

"So, Roro Putri had to face the prince,

Raden Mas Agung, for one last time.

And in the end, Roro Putri cried endless tears

when she found out that the man she loved so much

"had the heart to wield a dagger towards her weak body."

No…

Huh?

Kiki? Wait…

Get some tissues! Tissues.

Are you okay?

We need tissues.

Mik, Miko.

Take her to the infirmary.

- Help her. - Let's go.

Take care of her.

Do we go on with the rehearsal?

What about Roro Putri's character?

For now, let's just wrap up.

I'll figure out what to do with Roro Putri.

Hey, guys?

We're done for the day.

Let's continue tomorrow.

Please stay healthy.

Alright.

LIST OF NAMES FOR PANDEGA HIGH SCHOOL'S PERFORMANCE - KLIWON TUESDAY

See you, Rin.

- Right, take care. - Bye.

Bye, Nay.

- Bye! - Bye.

Nay.

How's Kiki?

She felt better when we got to the infirmary.

She said she wanted to continue, but we didn't let her.

She's gone home.

Kliwon Tuesday.

She might be afraid

of being replaced by someone else.

Let's go.

Uh, Rin? Rini?

Are you heading home?

Yes. We're allowed to go, right?

Of course. Uhm…

Do you like the story?

I do.

Who's your favorite character?

For me,

I like Roro Putri the best.

Because although she seems weak,

she is actually the strongest.

You can see that after she died,

the kingdom fell with her.

You're right.

Roro Putri is an essential character.

It's not a role for anyone.

It can't be taken lightly.

And now, after observing,

the only one with the exact date of birth besides Kiki

is you.

Can you replace Kiki?

Oh.

Well, I…

I'm worried I don't have the strength.

Besides,

my High Javanese isn't as fluent as Kiki's.

Don't worry about that.

I can help you.

Listen.

Just be an understudy.

We never know when Kiki is able to rehearse again, right?

Well, if it's Rini, I'm sure she can ace it. Right?

She knows the script like the back of her hand.

I'll help too.

Right, Rin?

Mik! Shut up.

Why do you look so down?

What's on your mind, Rin?

Don't keep thinking about me.

I'm right here.

What's going on?

How's the rehearsal and preparation for camp?

All good?

Don't worry.

You have me.

What's the matter with you?

You're just like my other friends.

- What do you mean? - You know.

You think I'm weak.

That I always need help. Like I'm the odd one out.

Who said that?

I never said that.

You know what?

I think you're amazing.

You're the type of person who gets what she wants.

Like yesterday.

You almost passed out, didn't you?

Because of the running test?

How do you know?

You're not the odd one out, Rin.

You do smell odd, though.

Mik, you're so annoying!

Miko, come back!

I'm leaving tomorrow! See you the day after!

Wake up. There is a task to be done.

You two, follow my desires.

So that all are given safety and virtue,

given security and peace

in the heart and feelings, seeping deeply.

Safety and strength are entirely by God's permission.

That…

What's that for, Grandpa?

For Javanese people, asking for permission is important.

Paying respects. Asking for consent.

Let's say we're visiting someone else's place.

We can't guarantee that the person is happy.

Remind your friends.

This area is off limits.

This is not your place.

Yes, Grandpa. I'll tell them.

Do not let

our actions hurt God's beings

who lived here before us.

Especially those who lived and died here.

One more important thing.

The buried offerings

should not be dug up.

- Yes, Grandpa. - Alright.

Grandpa Sonto said

that we should always be respectful here,

especially to those who lived here before us.

That's right, though.

Right.

Oh, Grandpa.

Don't go too far.

We haven't buried offerings over there.

Yes, Grandpa.

Alright, let's go.

Grandpa.

They have accepted us.

So, you and your friends take care around here,

- okay? - Yes, Grandpa.

Good luck with the event.

Yes.

Thank you so much, Grandpa.

I have to go.

Alright.

Let's pick up the pace.

Make two lines, please.

Chan?

Rini!

There she goes.

Hang on.

Here.

I'm okay.

I'm okay, Nay.

Are you dizzy?

Let's move it, everyone!

Come on.

Stop daydreaming.

The rest of you make a line here!

- Come on. Let's line up. - Let's go, guys.

Keep moving! Go on!

Oh, here they are.

The kids Grandpa Sonto told us about.

- Excuse us, Grandpa. - Hello, dear.

- Be careful! - Yes, Grandpa.

Remember, be respectful.

WANA ALUS CAMPING SITE

Come on, then.

Let the others

help with the event.

Come on.

- Be careful. - Okay.

Come on.

Watch your step.

Careful. Be careful.

Careful there.

Rini!

What are you doing?

You're blocking the way!

Hurry!

Come on then.

Careful.

Hello, everyone!

Hello.

Come on. Cheer up! Cheer up!

Watch it.

Keep it up!

Wait, Nay, just a second.

The ones at the back, keep up.

The restrooms are a bit far, that way.

But if you need to go, bring a friend.

Never go alone.

About the hygiene…

Ouch!

Rin, your bag is heavy.

- This is group four, right? - Yes.

What are you up to?

- Bro. - Yeah?

If you need any meds, come to me.

Rin!

.Find your squad. Come on, Rin. Fall in!

Finally, the day we've been waiting for is here.

Welcome to the 2016 camping trip!

Before we start our events,

let us say our prayers.

Let's pray according to our own beliefs.

You may begin your prayers.

Rin?

Come on.

- What's wrong, Rin? - You're okay. Get up.

- It's okay. - Rin.

Rin?

What's wrong?

What is up with her?

Rin?

Rin.

Are you alright?

What did you see?

You don't want to tell me?

It was nothing, Nay.

I know there is something.

I had a bad feeling ever since we crossed the bridge.

I knew this place was haunted.

So, what did you see?

Roro Putri?

Oh?

What were you doing inside?

Your makeup?

Heru said

that you're my understudy for my role as Roro Putri, right?

Take care of it.

Even though you're never going to wear it.

What's your problem, Ki?

We all want this event to go well.

But it's nice to have a backup plan, right?

Whatever.

Here.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

NO TENTS HERE

Done.

FOURTH POST

Mik, this is Lidya.

Copy. What is it?

Someone put up a tent here.

In the forbidden area.

What?

- Who? - Let me check.

Miko? Mik!

Chandra! Miko, copy!

What?

Who are you looking for?

Mik!

Miko!

Mik, there's a breach!

Someone else is on our channel, Mik!

I'm not the one trespassing.

You are the one trespassing.

Go back home!

Go home!

SCOUT TROOP OF PANDEGA HIGH SCHOOL YOGYAKARTA

Do you want to drink?

Wait, after I take care of this.

Let's go. They called us for lunch.

Come on.

- Okay. - It's lunchtime!

See, all gathered.

Lidya, come in?

- Hey, Lid! - Mik, Mik!

What's wrong? What is it?

Something weird is going on there.

- The forbidden area? - Yes.

My walkie-talkie was making noises…

It's telling us to go home.

Alright.

Just calm down.

Go back to the camp.

I'll go and check.

Alright.

Hey, Lid.

What?

Don't tell anyone,

- okay? - Okay.

Excuse me.

Gosh.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Come on!

The rope.

Five minutes left!

Over here!

Our group is done!

Let's check.

- Is this safe? - It is.

First place!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Pull, pull, pull!

Look back! Don't panic!

Nice!

Are you okay?

One, two, three!

Hold tight!

Go, go, go!

Three!

- Rin! - Rini?

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Squad 1 and Squad 3!

You're not hurt, are you?

Let's take a break and then get ready for the relay race.

- Is it all set? - Yes, over there.

For the staff too?

Come on, then.

It's okay, Rin.

We're here for three days.

We'll get them tomorrow.

It's okay.

Winning or losing doesn't matter.

The important thing is that you're okay. Right?

We keep winning!

We're so cool.

Hey, did you see how she fell?

Like that!

Kiki, why do you look so weak? Are you sick?

Are you sick?

I'm on my period.

I should be fine if I'm not on my period.

You look so weak, just like Rini!

Watch your mouth.

You can't compare me with that new girl.

She has the nerve to try to replace me as Roro Putri.

Keep dreaming!

- It'll never happen! - Of course not.

I need to change my pads.

I wonder why.

Why did they choose Rini as Roro Putri?

As if there's no other person left!

Of course, it's because of Miko!

I bet he's the one who told Heru.

Are they really dating?

Haven't you noticed?

Hmm, no.

It's just gossip.

Miko would never want to date someone

who falls over from a breeze!

What a joke.

That's nasty!

What's wrong with it?

Everyone else litters there.

But it's your pad.

What if a ghost follows you?

You scared me.

I'll follow the ghost instead!

Really?

We'll see when you get scared.

Who is it?

Let's go back together.

Break time is over.

Come on!

Slowly. Slowly!

Keep running!

Hurry up!

Don't let your friends leave you behind. Come on!

Come on!

Keep it up!

Hurry, hurry!

Rini!

We won!

Yay, we won!

You were so fast!

We almost lost.

What are you looking at?

No, nothing.

- What's up? - Chandra.

In the forbidden area,

I saw a woman.

What woman?

Don't you get it?

This place has so many scary stories.

So, why do you keep talking about it?

I get it, Fen.

That's why I have to talk about it.

If not, I'll go crazy.

In the forbidden area, I saw a woman in a traditional outfit.

She entered the tent that was there.

When I checked, there was no one inside.

What's even weirder,

when I got out, it suddenly got dark.

Stop. I don't want to hear it.

We have tons to do with the events.

I'm late for the semaphore competition.

Hey.

Heru and his friends are here.

Can you show him the way, Fen?

Mik. Mik!

What?

Did you check the forbidden area?

I did.

Did something weird happen?

Maybe you're just tired, Lid.

You've lost sleep.

You've been busy preparing for this event.

Here, take this.

Here.

Vitamins.

I'm going to see Heru.

- Okay, Chan? - Sure, Mik.

Heru?

- Hey, Mik. - Hi.

How's it going? All good?

Yes, of course.

I saw the snake here.

It bit me.

When I cut it, it just disappeared.

Did you do what I told you to?

I did.

I have a bad feeling.

Can this yellow rice truly protect us?

Mik. Miko?

Yes, Chan?

Where are you?

We're starting soon. Get over here.

Go. I'll catch up.

Alright, Chan.

Take care.

Copy?

Yes.

Mada.

Here.

Okay.

- Got it? - Yes.

You take notes.

Revenge, blood, tears.

D.

E.

- N. - Mada?

D.

A.

M.

M?

DENDAM - REVENGE

Again.

- D. - D?

Mada.

A.

R.

- A. - A?

H.

T.

A. N.

G.

I.

S.

Nay, are "blood" and "tears" correct?

You sure you didn't misread him?

It's what he did.

She will rise again

to take revenge.

Blood and tears

will flood these lands again!

Mada?

Mada! Mada!

Mada, oh God, forgive us.

Get down, Mada!

Mada, get down! Mada, get down!

Mada!

Mada!

Mada!

Mada!

Mad. Mada?

- Mada! - Mada…

- Mad? - Mada!

- Here, Mad. - Mada…

Mad!

Enough, Mad. Enough!

Stop, Mad!

- Come help! - Mada!

Hold him here.

Help us!

Mada!

Careful.

Lift him up.

One, two, three.

Mada.

Mada.

What do we do?

Heru!

Please help us, Heru!

I don't know how it happened.

He just jumped into the river. Please help him.

Help him.

Help.

Calm down. I'm here to help.

You guys, keep him down.

Hey!

Who do you think you are?

You should be following my orders!

Mada!

Mada!

Who are you looking for?

Rin? What's wrong?

I'm going back to the tent. My head hurts.

Let me go! Let go!

You should all be punished!

I will never take orders from you!

You should be following my orders!

What do we do?

Lid.

Call Miko. Call Miko!

Mada.

Mada!

Come with me.

Excuse me, Grandpa?

Grandpa!

Just a moment.

Grandpa, one of the kids got possessed.

Alright. Just a moment.

Mada.

Mada…

God forgive us.

Mada.

Kiki?

Kiki? Kiki?

Kiki.

Kiki!

Ki?

Kiki.

Kiki.

What is it?

Why are you crying?

Forgive us, Your Grace.

Please don't let us die.

Please, Your Grace.

Have mercy, Your Grace.

Go back. Go back to your world

Everyone, please get him to the infirmary tent.

Take him to the infirmary!

Lift him up.

- San. - Let's go.

Come on!

Help us out. Hurry!

Worship the creation, worship the body,

worship all the will of the spirits.

The spirits of my four twins are here.

All the evil that comes shall perish.

All the demons that disturbs us shall perish.

All evil desires

will return to those with evil intentions.

Go back to your world.

Go back to your world.

Leave.

Leave.

How dare you come back to this place!

This is not your place!

Leave!

Go away!

Go away.

You do not belong here.

Leave!

You do not belong here.

You are all just guests.

Wait.

For my revenge.

Leave!

Leave!

You should leave!

Have mercy, Your Grace.

Leave!

No!

Worship the creation, worship the body,

worship all the will of the spirits.

All evil desires

will return to those with evil intentions.

The true spirit becomes one with the power of God.

Forgive us, Your Grace.

Gentlemen.

They should all be taken away from this place.

Forgive us.

Your Grace, forgive us.

Careful, it's steep. Walk slowly.

Be careful. It's slippery here.

Take the right and I'll go down first.

Oh, dear!

Oh, no.

Grandpa.

What do we do now?

I'll go back alone

to alert the villagers

so they can set up a makeshift bridge around here.

But I have to go around,

so it'll take long.

You should all wait here, okay?

One more thing.

I request you

to please stop all activities

until I return.

- Okay? - Yes, Grandpa.

Grandpa.

You don't have to worry.

I'll take care of them.

I hope nothing bad happens.

Come on, Mik. Let's go back.

Everyone! Come on, Chan!

Back to the camp! Now!

Go back now! Walk carefully.

We're going back to the camp!

What could possibly be the cause of all this, Grandpa?

I don't really know, either.

Listen,

go and check the offerings we buried.

I'm worried that someone might have dug it up.

And your friend, that girl,

the one who's being worshipped, what's her name?

Rini.

It's slippery. Be careful!

Take care of her.

Take care of your friend, Rini.

Alright. I have to go now.

Okay, Grandpa.

- Take care! - I will.

Rin!

Put your hood on.

What's wrong? You'll catch a cold.

Come on.

Careful. Lift now.

Heru.

Go on a break. I'll keep watch.

Okay.

- Thank you, Heru. - Thanks

The One I adore, the One who Illuminates.

You are the Leader, the Ruler of the Universe.

May it be beneficial. May it be in harmony with everything.

Welcome, My Lord.

Forgive me for summoning you.

- I… - What?

What do you want, my child?

I want to get the Makutoromo gemstone.

The Makutoromo is already in possession

of someone in this camp.

How can I know who it is, My Lord?

There is a source of water in this forest.

Take them there.

And the Makutoromo gemstone

shall appear.

Go back.

Finish your meal.

Don't leave anything behind.

What are you doing?

Why are you staring? Eat up.

You should've seen how Mada got possessed.

He jumped, Mik.

I'm scared the others might follow, or something even more dangerous.

Mik, I think we should call off the whole thing.

- You saw how it happened, right? - Yeah.

Listen.

Let's let the kids rest for the night.

And just skip the test of courage tonight.

What are you so afraid of, Mik?

Look at them.

They've forgotten already.

Well, yes, but Grandpa Sonto said

- it's better to halt all the activities. - That's right.

Especially considering Mada and Kiki's condition.

So, you don't trust me?

What are we waiting for?

Mada and Kiki to wake up? I don't think so.

Besides, I've already told Miko

how to keep us safe.

Isn't that right, Mik?

Hey.

What is it? Are you sick?

Did you take any of your meds?

Usually, when I eat,

I have entertainment.

Who do you think you are?

You did nothing wrong

Yet you died for nothing

You wished to live happily But ended up in agony

The time has come

How sad your life was

What sins did you commit in the past

Oh, Princess

What an unfortunate life

May this be the right end

Even if it's full of scars

Forgive me, Your Grace

Have mercy, Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, forgive me. It hurts.

Your Grace, forgive me.

Lid.

Lid?

Are you alright?

Why is everyone staring?

Take her to the infirmary.

You're okay, aren't you?

Now. Take her.

Okay.

As for the others, go back to your tents.

At midnight,

we'll wake you up for the test of courage.

Mik, why are we still doing the activities?

Rin?

Why are you still up?

Can you come with me to the bathroom?

Almost peed myself on the way here.

The bathroom is so far away. And it stinks.

But earlier,

on our way here, I thought about the article I read, Rin.

This place is really scary.

Do you think it has anything to do with Mada's possession?

He got possessed and really hurt himself badly,

and he looked like he was acting as the king in the play.

Maybe he was acting?

Why would he be acting?

Was it a dream? Do you think he was dreaming?

He acted so well that his dreams took over.

I don't get it.

Rin. Rini?

Rini!

Rin, why aren't you saying anything?

That snake was huge.

I've never seen one so big like that.

Child.

Do you understand

whatsawer means?

Sawer, or a snake,

gives you a sign

that this place

is protected by Sapto Pratolo, Earth's ruler.

It is a place where humans should not be.

Since when do you speak "Old Javanese"?

Rini?

What is it?

Is it another snake?

Someone among you has evil intentions.

Are we still doing the test of courage?

Look at what happened to Lidya.

What happened to me?

Did I pass out?

I'm okay now.

Or listen.

I'll go and get Grandpa Sonto.

At least, if we're resuming our activities,

it will be with Grandpa Sonto's permission.

Grandpa Sonto said it takes a long time to get back.

He's not even here now.

You'll get lost.

So, we're still going to do the activities?

Don't you feel bad for the rest of the committee?

They've worked so hard preparing all of this.

Do you want us to lose against last year's camp?

Isn't it embarrassing?

But what if something happens again?

What's important

is that you do what I told you to.

Lid? Do you want to rest

or keep going?

I'll keep going.

Great. Lidya's coming.

What about the rest of you?

If you're going, then just go.

I'm still shaken with everything that happened.

I'll stay here and look after them.

If something else happens, it's on you, Mik.

Help.

- Help. - Rin?

Rin? Rin!

Rini!

Rin.

Rini?

Rin?

Rin?

Now, we're entering the forest.

So, please remind each other,

stay focused and present.

Keep your friends close.

See your squad?

Let's take care of each other.

Alright.

Okay.

Keep me updated.

Alright, I will.

Take care.

Careful, there's a branch ahead.

Get down, down!

We're good.

Why are we stopping?

Hey, be careful.

I don't know.

Which squad is that?

Nobody move.

Stay still. Stay still.

Let's go.

Come on! Quick!

Gosh.

Can we take this off now?

Yes, you can.

Do a headcount. Fauzi, please help.

Alisa.

Alia.

Nayla.

We're missing one, Chan!

What?

We're missing one!

What?

Rini is not here.

Where are you, Chan?

Rini is missing.

I repeat, Rini is missing in the woods.

How?

I don't know.

Alright, I'm coming over.

Rini!

Let's split up.

Nayla, that way.

The others go that way. I'll go this way.

Rin?

Rini!

Why is it dead?

Chan?

Have you found Rini?

Not yet.

So?

I saw Heru at the spring, Mik.

A snake was wrapped around his body.

What do you mean?

Come see for yourself.

That's…

- Where did that come from? - The third post.

- Third post! - The kids at the third post!

Where is it?

Where is my shroud?

- What's wrong with her? - Where is my shroud?

Where is my shroud?

It's Nayla!

Take her back to the camp!

What about Rini?

Help Nayla first.

We'll let the experts handle Rini.

Calm down, Nay. Calm down.

Calm down!

My shroud!

Let's move faster!

I have a bad feeling.

Out of the way!

Where is my shroud?

Where is my shroud?

Here, here.

Where are Heru and Grandpa Sonto?

Not here yet.

What do we do now?

Who is going to help us?

My shroud!

My shroud!

Where is my shroud?!

Die, all of you!

Hold this!

- Come on! - What's that for?

Maybe it can calm her down.

My shroud!

- Hold her. - Here.

My shroud!

Pull!

God forgive us.

Where is my shroud?

Where is my shroud?

Wrap her. Come on.

Tie her up!

Hold her.

Be careful.

My shroud!

Wait, hold her.

Wake up. Wake up!

Leave!

Why are you here?

Go away!

Someone wants to take the gemstone from this place.

Mada?

No, Mada! No!

Okay.

Where is my shroud?!

Why are you still continuing with the activities?

I've already reminded you!

Now what are you going to do?

Where is Heru?

Where is he?

I don't know, Grandpa.

Grandpa, please help.

My shroud! Where is my shroud?

Come with me.

Go back to your world.

The true spirit becomes one with the power of God.

Go back. Go back to your world.

The true spirit becomes one with the power of God.

Go back. Go back to your world.

The true spirit becomes one with the power of God.

Go back.

Go back to your world.

The true spirit becomes one with the power of God.

Don't open it.

Don't open it!

Don't open it.

Don't open it!

- Friends, please lend a hand! - Don't open it!

Don't open it!

Don't open it!

Cover her again!

Don't open it!

Don't open it!

Rin?

Rin?

Where are you?

Rin!

Rini!

Rini!

- Rini! - Rin!

Rini!

Rini!

Rin!

- Rini! - Rin!

Rini?

Rini!

Rin!

Chan!

Zik!

Ziko!

Ziko!

Ziko!

Damn you!

Fauzi!

Here, hold him.

Mik, what do we do?

Go back to the camp with others.

I'll go find Rini, okay?

Bro, bro!

Hold up his head.

- Now go. - Okay.

I've been waiting for you forever.

And now you're here.

Who are you?

I'm Roro Putri.

To this day,

I've been hiding

from the soldiers you saw.

Why…

Do they want to catch you?

Because they're scared

I might kill their king for revenge.

Why have you taken someone here

who wants something from me?

Grandpa!

Grandpa Sonto!

Please help!

- Look! - Here! Come on!

Grandpa!

Please help.

Help them. Help them.

Careful. Mind your step.

- Lay him down. - That's enough.

Here.

Watch his hands.

His hands.

What's wrong?

I should've been able to keep my friends safe, Grandpa.

Your leader, Heru.

Does anyone know where he is right now?

Well, Grandpa…

Last night, I saw him near the spring, Grandpa.

Meditating.

He had a snake wrapped around his body, Grandpa.

- Pardi, Tukimin. - Yes, Grandpa?

Stay here and take care of them.

And Lesmono.

Tell the villagers

that when the bridge is done, don't cross over yet!

- Wait for my sign, okay? - Okay.

Let's go.

I saw him sitting over there last night, Grandpa.

Oh, God.

Someone dug up the offerings.

What are these yellow rice for?

The yellow rice is a sign.

For the unseen around here.

It invites them to come.

Because there is something to be presented.

Some offerings.

Rini…

Help!

Help! Help!

You smell lovely, child.

I never pick the wrong people.

I know there is something you want.

This ring

can make you control every living being

and it can grant any wishes.

I present it to you, child.

If you want to help me get my revenge!

What revenge?

What?

I thought you knew.

The play you're about to perform

is the story of my life.

I am an unlucky princess.

Because I was betrayed and killed

by the prince that I loved.

Everything happened because

of his father who became king.

And now is my time to get my revenge!

Or is it

someone else who wanted my ring?

You are the Leader, the Ruler of the Universe.

I want to ask for the revelation that has appeared.

May it be beneficial, may it be in harmony with everything.

Calm, peaceful, aware, serene.

Held firmly, sealed, certainty, determination.

Please accept my worship, Roro Putri.

Ruler of this forest.

Forgive me, Roro Putri.

This is what I can offer to get what I want.

What could you possibly offer?

Mik, wake up. Wake up, Mik!

- Come on. - Heru?

Wake up. Come on.

Wait…

Mik, are you okay?

Miko, get up.

Heru.

Rini is missing.

- Rini went missing. - Mik.

- My friends and I were looking for her. - Mik.

- I couldn't find… - Miko, hey!

Rin?

Rin.

Rin.

How did this happen?

Why are you here?

What are you looking for?

Revelation?

Now, be honest.

You're the one who dug up the offerings

and spread yellow rice everywhere, right?

What's important

is that I brought Rini back.

She's safe, Grandpa.

Grandpa.

- You know about magic too. - Yes.

There has to be an offering to save the kids!

Wait.

What kind of deal did you make with them?

I promised to perform a play

about her life story.

But with a twist.

In it, she survives.

That is difficult.

And very dangerous.

I can't even think of doing it myself!

Is there any other way?

Later that night,

everyone at camp,

like they were in a trance,

prepared for the play.

I still don't understand why Heru was dying to perform that play.

Was it for our safety,

or was it for selfish reasons?

And I still can't wrap my head around it.

Why Grandpa Sonto did not try

to exorcise Roro Putri's spirit out of Rini.

Was it because he wasn't

powerful enough to perform such an exorcism?

The choice between going home and continuing

still haunts my mind to this day.

But at that time, it seems like there was no other way.

This story

begins when

the princess has hardly come of age.

The soft and kind girl is carried away

with the image of luxury and the king's love.

However, as fate would have it,

she is unable to avoid it.

The princess, who is about to be made a concubine,

receives forbidden love from the crown prince.

As time goes by,

breath continues to flow.

The prince can only suppress

all his feelings of forbidden love.

With his feelings

long suppressed and suffocated,

the prince is burdened with a curse.

A prolonged sickness

that came from nowhere.

Unable to bear what happened

to his beloved nephew…

The uncle asks the prince and princess

to leave the palace.

How sad your life was

Princess

You did

Nothing wrong

But you ended up dead

But as fate would have it,

as it can't be avoided,

the news of their marriage

eventually reached the king's ears.

You just wanted

To be happy

Wrath! Anger!

The king is angry!

The king gives an order to the crown prince.

The prince is given a very tough choice.

After them!

No!

No!

No!

To choose his love

or the abundance of power from his father.

But as fate would have it,

as it can't be avoided,

the prince must choose one

of the two choices.

How sad

Your life was

What sins did you commit In the past and present

However, this is not a love story.

Oh, Princess

What an unfortunate life

It is a story of revenge.

Hope this

Is the right end

Even if it's full of scars

And now…

I shall rewrite

this story!

Mik!

Mik…

Mik, what do I do?

This is my work.

Now, where…

Is the Makutoromo ring?

Grandpa…

That's my friend, Grandpa. My friend!

Grandpa, what about my friend?

Rini.

The ring.

Give me the ring.

Rini.

Run, Rin.

Rini!

Rini!

Run!

Rini!

Rini!

Rini!

No!

Rini!

Idiot!

I've told you.

I never pick the wrong people.

You smell lovely, and your heart is pure.

What about…

Heru?

He shall get what he desires.

Only in his mind.

As for you, my dear,

I will protect you

just like you protected me.

Rin!

Rin? Rin?

Rini. Rini.

Rin?

Rini?

Nay!

I thought you weren't going to wake up.

What happened to you?

How are you feeling?

- Mik! - Rin?

She woke up.

I'm sorry for everything.

I'm sorry, Rin.

Rin…

Get in here, Nay.

Come here.

I wish I knew

that from the beginning, Heru had

hidden intentions of bringing us there.

I intend to journey toward safety

and be kept away from all calamities by the grace of God's power.

The heavy rain in the camps over at the west

and all the previous camping sites we looked at

were also just excuses for Heru to redirect us

to set up camp at Wana Alus.

Safe and sound.

I intend to journey toward safety

and be kept away from all calamities by the grace of God's power.

Ever since then,

we've never seen Heru again.

He never returned as a leader

for the other camping trips for the batches that came after us.

I said that we all made it out alive.

That is true, Wahyu.

But Rini has never been the same.

Will you stay here?

As you know,

every year for the past seven years,

we always go back to Wana Alus.

It's not out of nostalgia.

Princess…

We've brought Rini here again.

From now, I beg of you,

please let Rini come home.

And leave her alone.

TO THIS DAY, RINI, PSEUDONYM, IS STILL EXPERIENCING MYSTICAL DISTURBANCES.

AFTER YEARS OF REFUSING TO TELL THE STORY OF THE MASS POSSESSION IN JOGJA 2016,

RINI FINALLY SPOKE UP.

I arrived with my friends at noon.

It was almost dusk.

When I arrived, I didn't feel anything.

But when we were about to set up our tents,

I felt hot all over my body. It was uncomfortable.

And at that moment, I felt like

if I got closer to the bathroom,

I didn't feel hot.

Whenever I was at the bathroom,

I didn't feel hot or anything.

It's like I was friends with that place.

That's why I went there often.

Around five in the evening,

it started to get cloudy.

Then there was a shower, and then it rained at sunset.

I heard a girl screaming.

I screamed.

It was dusk.

Yes, it was.

I screamed and got possessed near the entrance.

I was at the entrance, being held.

There were rocks.

Near the entrance, so many cobblestones.

It was a lot.

They were holding me.

I was fighting back, and my whole body ached.

At the beginning.

Initially, I didn't believe anything.

But I saw that figure.

Big, tall, and dark.

The first figure I saw

when we set up the tent, at the bathroom.

It was behind me.

And I felt really hot around my shoulders.

It got hotter and hotter.

And then, I don't remember anything.

They said I was possessed.

Aside from that,

it was really chaotic.

This group was possessed.

That group was possessed.

I can't even explain it with words

because Rini really had it the worst among the others.

I don't know why.

And then I remember her saying,

"I want to be covered."

With a loud voice.

And her face…

It was terrifying at that time.

Her eyes were…

Bulging. Like it was popping out.

There's also this one moment.

I had a friend who couldn't dance.

She started dancing.

She was an athlete.

Usually, female athletes

are boyish, right?

She was dancing.

She did it beautifully.

Gracefully.

The ones possessing weren't even humans.

Some became dancers.

Humans with horns.

Ghosts.

There were so many.

And it was so terrifying.

When I woke up,

a lot of my friends were gathered at the village hall.

I asked them

why so many of them were there.

They said they were all possessed.

Some were taken to the locals' houses.

THE TERROR CONTINUED, EVEN AFTER THE CAMPING WAS OVER.

After camping,

we went back to school.

I received news.

They said Rini was unable to go to school.

In the end, my friend and I decided to visit her.

After sunset, we went to her house.

Once we arrived,

Rini smiled at us.

But she looked different.

They were shocked. After that, I slept.

I was in my room, and there's a chair there.

I woke up and saw

that thing that possessed me at camp

sitting there.

Sitting on the chair in my room.

Since that moment,

I just befriended it.

Like we just talked.

When I asked why I got possessed,

they said because those beings liked my aura.

Is it okay that you're telling us about it?

Yes, because I already asked for permission.

Yes. I asked permission from them.

To tell this story. It's fine.

Let's just cut for now.

Okay.

RIGHT AFTER THE QUESTION ABOUT PERMISSION,

THE STUDIO LIGHTS SHATTERED.

BASED ON RINI'S ADVICE,

THE TEAM DECIDED NOT TO CONTINUE THE INTERVIEW.

UP UNTIL THE RELEASE OF THIS FILM,

THE CAUSE OF THE MASS POSSESSION REMAINS UNKNOWN.
