Ram Farissy

Surya, a 20-year-old drug addict, felt anxious on the final day of his rehabilitation. The urge to use illegal drugs still loomed large within him, making him reflect on his former life as an addict and feel fearful and anxious about his uncertain future. Until hope arrived and took him boldly into a new life.

This experimental film draws inspiration from the philosophy of Sedulur Papat Lima Pancer, a Javanese worldview that speaks to the presence of four elemental companions earth, water, fire, and air that accompany a human being from birth, unified by the physical body as the fifth and central force (pancer). Through overlapping, symbolic visuals, the film explores the duality within the self and how these elements interact to form a complete human identity, especially within the context of Indonesian culture.
