In a remote Indonesian tropics, the supportive mother Alma (30s) works as a clove farmer. Her son, Akbar (11) harbours a dream to go to a school in the city. However, the farm has been failing as the effect of the mine’s presence. To support Akbar’s dream, Alma strives to sell her farm to the mining company, but the company will only acquire her land if Petta (M, 60s), the stubborn owner of the farmland next to hers, also sell his. When situations gets dire, Alma embarks on a journey to get Petta to agree, a journey laden with pressure, violence, betrayal, and fire.
