Setelah menghabiskan tenaganya untuk melayani umat dan orang saleh yang dia hormati sejak kecil, serangkaian kehilangan dan pengkhianatan mendorong Kiran ke ambang batasnya. Kecewa, ia merebut kembali tubuh dan pikirannya dari agama dan menggunakannya untuk kepentingannya sendiri. Semuanya tampak baik-baik saja buat Kiran, anehnya pemberontakannya tak terasa cukup memuaskan. Kiran memutuskan untuk meningkatkan pembangkangannya, menjerumuskannya makin dalam pada bahaya, yang entah akan memubuatnya jadi bijaksana, atau mendorongnya ke jurang tanpa dasar.
Have yet to read the novel, but I'm sure some changes are necessary if it's about to be brought over to the big screen. That said, I don't know whether or not the tonal shift in the latter act really happened in the novel. Overall the movie was still kinda believable up until that point where afterwards I no longer feel the movie was still realistic. I don't mind it at all though, cause a good story is a good story.
The non linear plot also served a nice contrast to Kiran before and after her transformation. I'm quite confident some accolades are in order for this movie, especially some acting nods for Aghniny Haque. Kinda surprising to have her reunite with Djenar Maesa Ayu so soon after Pemandi Jenazah though.
