Ismail Basbeth : 2015
Menuju rembulan
Asa is the daughter of a seer. To escape her mother's clutches, she has withdrawn with a girlfriend to hide in a forest, where they live from hunting and fishing. One day, she is collected by a dog sent by her mother. Her life in the forest seems to take place in a remote prehistoric past, but when Asa leaves the woods following the death of her girlfriend, and because her mother is calling her, she is suddenly at a modern petrol station. After her return and the death of her mother, Asa leads a very different life. From the primitive woods, she arrives in a beautiful classical Javanese house. The dog who came to collect her turns out to be a man and they have a child together, like in the ancient fairy tale of Dayang Sumbi. The magical surrealist journey of Asa is a dreamy, absurdist fantasy based on Indonesian legends, in which the exceptional becomes everyday, which, in turn, makes the everyday exceptional. Ismail Basbeth's feature debut premiered in competition at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015.
