Synopsis

Kesuma, a Bagan fisherman, survives on his fishing platform a few kilometers from the volcanic island of Krakatoa. After a hard night of fishing, the exhausted Kesuma spends the day repairing his nets and tending to his platform. With no warning, a gigantic explosion occurs and a tsunami engulfs everything. Kesuma wakes up on a mysterious deserted island. He is now a castaway. While exploring the island, he finds a cave to take refuge in and prepare for the final sacrifice.
