Explores the complex intersection of beauty, power, and tradition in 1950s Indonesia through a triangle of desire and mysticism: Adista, a wealthy woman who masters the esoteric art of attraction through kantil flowers; Citresa, a breathtakingly beautiful bedoyo dancer born beneath a kantil tree; and Kripala, Citresa’s husband and a struggling composer. As Adista draws Citresa into her world of ancient rituals and ceremonies, their relationship deepens while Kripala spirals into jealousy and destructive rage.
