A Thousand Days (Sewu Dino)

Sister...

- What, Jum? - Let's go. I don't...

What? You don't want to bathe her?

Jum, why are you, a Kliwon girl, scared?

You were born on a Kliwon Friday, weren't you?

- Listen to me... - Stop it!

Enough!

I feel hot here.

I'm cleaning the house wearing this over-the-top clothing.

Let me change my clothes.

Sister, the recording's broken.

What should I do?

What did you say?

The recording's broken.

But have you finished the ritual?

I haven't.

Not everything.

Oh, dear!

Come on! Hurry!

Let's go, Jum.

What should we do, Jum?

Jum, come here.

Bring it back to the original position.

Hurry.

Lift it.

Sister, her hand is blocking.

Her leg.

Put her leg inside.

- This one? - Yes. Hurry.

Jum?

Sister!

Sister Ranti!

Sister!

Who are you, child?

Who are you, child?

Miss, I order sweet ice tea.

Alright.

- These are done? - Sri, the rawon!

Okay. One moment.

Excuse me.

Actually, I am feeling bad,

especially because I haven't paid the previous ones.

Thanks.

But I really need it, Sister.

I'm sorry, Sri.

But I also have a lot of expenses this month.

Adi is starting school.

I have to buy books and uniform for him.

Hang on.

Try this.

Job Vacancy: Female House Assistant, age 20-35

Is this for the Atmojo family?

Yes.

Weird.

They're looking for helpers every day.

The Atmojo family has a lot of restaurants.

Scattered all over Java.

That's why they always need helpers.

They would pay you ten million rupiah, you know.

Who knows, maybe there will be a prince looking for a wife.

Do you think this is a soap opera?

Miss, can I change my order to just water?

You can. One moment, please.

Orange juice.

Miss Sri?

Yes?

Do you have stingray mangut today?

We have.

One moment, let me get it for you.

Sir?

Sir?

Sir!

What's going on, Sri?

He paid less money.

That guy is fasting all white things.

He only consumes white rice and plain water.

I'm okay with him fasting.

But he shouldn't put us in a loss.

Let him be.

- Miss, number three? - Yes, Ma'am?

- Asmawati? - Right.

- You brought your diploma? - I did.

- Just prepare it. - Okay.

Wati, I'm a high school graduate, you know.

Why wouldn't they accept me?

- I don't get it. - They really do have weird terms.

Miss?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Miss? Are you okay?

- Let me help... - Ouch.

- Let's get in. - I'm fine.

Let's just get in. Come on.

- Thank you, Miss. - Her bag.

Hold it.

What's your name, Miss?

Sri.

I'm Lydia.

Were you going to apply for a job here?

I was, but then I changed my mind.

Why?

I don't have a diploma.

I see.

No diploma.

It's fine.

Hold one more second.

Done.

Take the bandage off at home.

Okay?

Thank you.

No problem.

Lydia.

One moment.

Sri.

She wants to meet you.

Who?

Mbah Karso.

She's the head of the Atmojo family.

Hear me out, not everyone can meet her.

Who knows, maybe you'll get hired instantly.

Let's go.

Please, come in.

Come on.

Come on.

What's your full name, child?

Sri Rahayu.

You were born on a Kliwon Friday?

How do you know?

I can smell Wijoyo Kusumo and Gadru inside of you.

Why did you come here?

My father, Mbah.

I need money for his medication.

That means we want the same thing: to save our family.

You need money for your father's medication.

And I need you to take care of my family.

I promise to help with your father's medication.

But...

...you need to answer this first.

Are you ready to work for me?

I'm ready, Mbah.

After this...

...you cannot back out.

Follow me.

Come closer, Sri.

For now on, you are my servant.

With this, our agreement is approved.

Do your job...

...and I will do my part.

You cannot betray me.

Because your life has been pawned to me.

Sri...

...please bathe my body with this water.

Feel my lesions, child.

I promise you...

...you will never have these kinds of lesions...

...as long as you keep your promise.

Wake up, Miss.

Miss?

Wake up!

Sorry, but what's your name?

Sugih.

Sri.

Sri.

Mbah told me to tell you this.

Don't tell anyone.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Don't you want to look for another place to work?

What other place?

We lost Tyas because we couldn't pay.

I don't want to lose you because we don't have money.

Okay then...

...if that's what you want.

I'm only going to tell you this.

Take care of yourself.

What's wrong?

What's going on here?

Father?

What's wrong?

What's going on here?

Sri!
