The movie
A young widow lives alone in a remote area of an Indonesian island. One day, she is attacked and raped by a gang, who also end up stealing her cattle. Seeking justice, she embarks on an emancipating journey. But the way will be long, especially with a headless ghost after her. Boasting a remarkable soundtrack and sumptuous cinematography, this politically engaged western can be seen as a universal tale of freedom. Spellbinding!
