The studio situation

Dr. Yessy explained that this film isn’t a story of magic, as in our childhood memories. This film is telling us about an awesome and taboo tragedy. The references were from some movies, one of them is the Cut Nyak Dien story. There was a scene when Teuku Umar is dead, Cut Nyak Dien was crawling to his dead body, there was only one white angle from the top, and according to her it’s related to the tragedy where Dayang Sumbi lost Tumang.
