Raifan Alfarizi

Not all who are greedy end up prosperous, and not all who are honest end up broken. Sometimes, the soil fed with blood grows fertile for a moment.only to lose its soul forever.

The deaths of children in the village are believed to be due to the Sandekala myth, a time considered terrifying in the afternoon. Bayan is a child who has lost his friends. However, behind this incident, it turns out there is a dark secret: a soil-fertilization ritual. Slowly, the truth is revealed, including who is behind all the deaths.

Rafi, a religiously devout young man who rejects all forms of idolatry, has his life upended by personal hardship. Consumed by grief and despair, he loses his sense of direction and, in his search for meaning, turns to tarot cards for guidance contradicting the beliefs he once held firmly.

A married couple leads a simple household life without the presence of a child. The wife continues to be haunted by social pressure and is trapped in hallucinations that blur the boundaries between reality and her own mind. As the sound of a baby's laughter turned into a cry, and the whisper of public discrimination became more and more stressful, he almost lost control. But the husband's grip became the anchor that brought him back to reality. On the table, flowers in the vase slowly bloom a symbol of love that grows calm, warm, and whole, even without a child's presence.
