STARVISION PRESENTS

Hundreds years ago, humans and tigers live side by side harmoniously...

... in Mt Kendeng.

That place is prohibited. You must not go there.

Humans and tigers live in their territory without disturbing each other.

It's like their ancestors had made that written agreement.

Until one day...

That's the pig! Kill it!

The angry tiger asked the humans to hand in the guy who killed its cub.

- A life for a life. - I can't sacrifice him.

He didn't mean it. Please forgive him.

- Just go. Please leave our village. - No way!

Since that moment, humans and tigers have fought against each other.

Humans started killing tigers.

Tigers fought back by abducting human children.

Gosh, you! Lucky you, I didn't get a heart attack.

How about the abducted children? What happened to them?

They disappeared. Nobody knew what happened to them.

That's why the tigers in Mt Kendeng...

... are called puyang or grandpa.

Our people believe they are the kids...

... who were abducted and turned into tigers.

Yash, hurry perform wudu before the time for Subuh prayer is over.

I'll take you to see otters after you do your morning prayer. Go.

I said, do your morning prayer and then study.

- But I'm already smart. - You need to work hard.

It's the key of success. How many times should I say that?

okay, Sis. We'll study.

Look at Dali. Without being told to, he always studies before Subuh prayer.

He's a professor. He'll get bald soon.

Watch your mouth. Just go and pray.

Have you performed wudu?

ANGELS FROM HEAVEN

Where's the fun of watching baby otters?

Yeah. Watching tigers is more fun.

Yesterday, Ikanuri and I saw a tiger in Mt Kendeng.

Right. And it has 6 cubs. Very cute.

Real tigers?

Wibisana. Ikanuri.

Mom, we've got to go.

- Assalamu'alaikum. - Wa'alaikum salam.

Come on, Professor.

Laisa! Take good care of your brothers and sister.

Okay, Mom.

- Morning, Uncle Burhan. - Morning.

- Morning, Uncle Burhan. - Yeah.

Uncle, when the mangoes are ripe, would you give me some?

I've planned to give some to beautiful Yashinta.

- Thank you, Uncle. - Okay, then. Let's run.

- Uncle, we have to go. - Be careful. Don't run.

- Okay. - Watch over your siblings.

Hey, slowly.

Ms Lainuri's sons and daughter are beautiful. Like their father.

Well, except Laisa. She's short and dark skinned.

Psst!

Hey, slowly!

Go to school fast, or you'll be late. After school, go straight home.

- We will. - Don't play truant. Listen to me.

- Ikanuri. Wibisana. - Come on, Laisa.

- Wait. - Hey, stop. Stop.

Where are you going? Laisa said, we must go to school.

We're going to work. To get some money for mom.

Come on, Sir. Drive.

Professor, where are you going? The school is over there.

I want to work, too.

- Are we close? - No.

How far is it? A five-or-ten-minute walk?

Laisa.

- Where is it? - Psst.

- Laisa? - What is it now?

Thank you.

You're pretty when you smile. Too bad, you don't smile a lot.

Yay! I did it!

I made it!

Dali!

Dali!

What are you doing here? You should be at school.

- I have a cold. - But you're playing with water.

Come here!

You're a boy, Dali! What will you be if you don't go to school?

A beetle collector? A dammar gum tapper?

You want to eat bitter yam every year when grasshoppers attack our fields?

Mom saves money little by little so you can go to school.

What do you do in return?

You skip school! You play around!

Right?

Go home!

Dali, are you sure about this?

This windmill will make electricity to turn on this generator.

What if it doesn't work?

I will work.

- Who can guarantee that? - No one.

When will we do something about that rocks?

We've been doing rain-fed agriculture for years.

What's wrong with trying?

Uncle?

Lais, where are Ikanuri and Wibisana?

Where are they?

Everyone's here working. But they're not here.

- They're humiliating us. - Do you need them, Mom?

Hurry, Lais. Find them.

I'll go and find them, Mom.

Ikanuri! Wibisana!

The mangoes are ripe already, right?

- Laisa is here. Let's go down. Hurry! - Wait. My foot is stuck.

Wibisana! Ikanuri! What are you doing up there?

- We're counting Uncle Burhan's mangoes. - Get down here!

We're poor, but none in our family has become a thief.

What are you going to be later? If mom knows about it, she'll be angry.

- Go home now! Go home! - No way!

- You're not our big sister! - What do you mean?

We know the truth. You're not our real big sister.

You're different from us. You're dark, we're fair.

- You have big wavy hair. You're plain! - Stop. Stop it.

We won't obey you again. You're not our big sister.

Mom...

Laisa, where have you been?

Where are Ikanuri and Wibisana?

I met them.

They said, they would go home.

What if they go into the woods and then they get lost?

- What's going on? - Ikanuri and Wibisana are gone.

Oh, dear God.

We'll get back here in an hour.

If we don't find them, we'll go into the woods. Okay?

Let's go.

- Ma'am, please take care of my mom. - All right.

Laisa, where are you going?

Dali, stay home. Take care of mom and Yashinta.

I'm going with you.

Wherever you go tonight, I have to keep you company.

She's not our big sister. Why should we tell mom?

We'd better leave than being punished.

Let's get a job in the city. We'll pass through Mt Kendeng's peak.

It's only 8 kilometers from here.

But where's the peak?

We've been walking around.

I'm tired. I'm scared.

- People say, the tigers... - Shut up, Wibi.

This way! Hurry!

- What is it, Lais? - They were here.

Ikanuri!

Wibisana!

Don't eat them!

Dali, take them away from here.

Tell mom, I'm not coming back.

- Ikanuri, Wibisana, hurry. - Lais, don't go.

Oh, dear God.

Dad! Daddy!

Don't cry.

Dad! Daddy!

Hurry! Run! Run! Laisa! Come on!!

Ikanuri! Wibisana!

Dali!

- Run! - Come on!, Laisa!

- Wibisana! Ikanuri! - Run, Dali!

Hurry!

Laisa!

Laisa!

Are you okay?

I'm fine. How about you, guys?

Are you okay?

You don't study...

... and you don't work hard for mom.

And definitely not for me.

You study and work hard for a better future.

Yay!

I've got new teachers at school.

They're doing Student Study Service. They're all nice.

Yash, don't talk too much.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Get some drink, Honey. Come on, Honey.

- Kids, have a drink first. Lais, drink. - Yes, Mom.

Mom, Uncle Burhan looked for you. I told him you couldn't come...

- ... because Yash is ill. - She's getting hotter, Lais.

Oh, my God. Wait a sec, Mom. I'll get fresh water.

You go to sleep.

Mom, you'd better go to sleep. Let me take care of Yash.

You're tired.

- Wake me up if she gets worse. - I will.

Yash. Yash!

Mom! Mom!

What's wrong, Lais?

Yash. Yash...

- Oh, my God. - Take care of her.

Call Uncle Burhan. Oh, my God.

- Mom! - Laisa.

Come in. Come in.

I met students from medicine faculty who's doing Student Study Service.

Please help, Doctor. Please help my daughter.

Dear, God.

Please give me strength.

Yash needs my help.

The air out here is still very fresh.

It's like the air when it's winter.

If only they wanna make a breakthrough. Having a strawberry farm, for example.

Strawberries can grow well in this kind of soil and air. And they cost more.

What kind of fruit is strawberry?

I've never heard it myself. But Lais forced me to grow it.

It's an expensive kind of fruit, Uncle. It's really in demand in the city.
