Alas Roban

A FILM BY HADRAH DAENG RATU

Come back with us on Radio.

Listeners who are willing to accompany evening twilight from the border

let yourself flow slowly.

Brings memories and feelings who have stopped by.

Let's listen to the song together from Nike Ardilla

with the title "Star of Life".

- Excuse me, ma'am. - Yes?

- Do you have pliers? - Yes.

I'd like to borrow them for a moment.

- Let me borrow them, ma'am. - Okay.

2Back then... What was it called?

The engineer, or the contractor, promised

people can pass through here,

but every year there has to be a sacrifice.

People riding bicycles motorcycle.

A driver or the assistant.

Not long ago, someone had their head cut off.

Alas Roban is a forest area located in Batang Regency, Central Java

famous for its steep and winding road, with sharp turns,

and the mystical stories surrounding it.

Sir, hurry up.

PEKALONGAN, CENTRAL JAVA

Come on, Gendis. Hurry up.

Yes, Mom.

Newspaper! Sir, ma'am.

- Get on! To Pekalongan! To Semarang! - Hurry, kid!

- Come on, help me. - Yes, Mom. One moment.

Get on, to Pekalongan, to Semarang!

Oh God! My stuff!

Oh no.

- Hey, ma'am! - Sorry, sir.

- Watch your child! - Yes, sorry, sir...

Who will be responsible for this?

Oh no. Enough, my child. No need.

Sorry, sir. We're in a hurry to catch the bus.

Hey, if you're sorry, you can help me with this.

Yes, sir. You can see it for yourself.

My daughter has limited vision.

And we're in a hurry, sir.

My capital is also limited.

If it's wasted like this

I'll have nothing.

Gosh.

Give it to me, kid.

Here, sir.

Okay, then. Be careful!

Watch your child!

Why is this happening to me?

Sir.

I want two tickets to Semarang.

Can't do that, ma'am. We're closed.

Gosh... Sir, just two tickets, please.

We can't, ma'am. We're closed.

That is no longer possible.

Just talk to the conductor.

- Oh no. - Get on, to Pekalongan!

Gosh!

Come on, to Pekalongan, to Semarang!

Come on, kid.

Come on, Gendis!

Okay, mom.

Come on, kid. Hurry!

Sir, one more passenger!

- Oh no. - Mom.

Mom. What's wrong, Mom?

We missed the bus.

What's wrong, ma'am?

We missed the bus, Sir.

There's another bus tomorrow, ma'am. At six in the morning.

- Oh dear... - Where are you going?

Semarang.

That is the bus.

Aren't there any night buses, sir?

We really have to get there early.

Tomorrow's my first day of work.

Actually there is.

But our driver is on break, ma'am.

Even if he's going, it will cost more, ma'am.

More money?

Okay, that's fine.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh my...

Sir, this is all there is.

Please help me, sir.

Yes, ma'am. Come with me, ma'am.

Gosh, I wish you hadn't bumped into the guy.

We have almost no money left.

Come on, kid!

Sir, she's gonna pay you double the price.

Just go.

Which way?

Through Alas Roban?

Nighttime, via Alas Roban?

- Come on, Gendis. - Yes, ma'am.

Oh my.

Oh my...

Thank you, sir.

Oh my.

Oh my...

Do I have to return the money, sir?

We're talking about Alas Roban here.

Besides, that's just a myth, Sir.

If we go now, we'll pass Alas Roban before sundown.

The important thing is, don't forget that thing

sound your horn.

Come on. That's double the price.

Let's go, Sir.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I can't see clearly.

Why are you crying?

My goodness, I

was not angry at you.

I was angry at the situation.

Sorry, kid.

I promise you'll be able to see clearly.

We're going to Semarang

because at my new workplace

my salary is higher.

So, I can save up for your eye surgery.

Thank you, Mom.

Do you know

who's the first person I want to see after the surgery?

Who, dear?

You.

Because Dad used to say

that you're really beautiful.

Really?

You're prettier, of course.

Your chin

your cheeks.

Your smell.

- Delicious! - Delicious!

Bastard.

Are you okay, child?

I'm okay, Mom.
