NYI RORO KIDUL PROJECT
Come on. Everyone is gathering at the front.
Why are you still here?
Sandra.
Hey.
Come on, let's begin.
I'm sure that your mama won't miss your special day.
Sandra, don't you worry.
... let's wait for papa and mama first.
But ...
And they haven't come yet.
... I've been waiting for two hours already.
But ...
Cops?
There are cops at the front.
Excuse me.
What's wrong actually?
What's the matter?
Why are they here?
Cops?
There are cops at the front.
What are you doing?
It's Sandra's birthday.
Oh, I know.
Those cops are our friends.
Dumbass.
Evening. / Evening.
Is this Dini Hendrawati's house?
She's my mama.
That's correct.
... that your parents had a traffic accident at Jagorawi toll road.
We would like to inform you ...
I'm sorry.
What is it, Sir?
What?
Sandra. Sandra, Sandra!
Enough, Sandra.
I don't know, auntie.
I still can't let papa and mama go.
You have to learn to let go.
What's this, auntie?
Who's in this picture, auntie?
The baby ...
Who is it?
The baby in this picture with mama and papa ...
And who's this old woman in this picture?
I'm sure ...
... that you're coming here to my room ...
... not only to see how I'm doing, aren't you?
Sandra ...
... actually ...
... you are ...
... you are not your mama and papa's real daughter.
Then who are my real parents, auntie?
Anyway it won't affect your life in the future.
Niko is right, San.
... it's a story in the past which doesn't need to be brought up again anymore, not at all.
In my opinion ...
But I've got to go to that orphanage.
Sandra.
I want to know who my real parents are.
I want to know my origin.
Why can't you just be thankful with your present life?
If you don't want to take me there, I can do it myself!
Niko.
Okay. Okay, okay.
Come on, no pouting.
Okay, when?
We'll go with you.
He's right.
Let's refresh ourself.
That's right.
But I'm worried, Sandra.
Allow me to find out who my real parents are.
But I'm a big girl.
I can take care of myself.
I'm really begging you.
It's very important for me, auntie.
I'll go home right away after I'm finished.
Yes, auntie.
... go home immediately as soon as your business is finished.
But promise me ...
I'll allow you.
All right.
Thank you, auntie.
It's a dead end.
Shit.
Now what?
Oh, no.
It's a dead end.
Damn.
Let's take a walk then.
What should we do now?
Not alone, I'm frightened.
Fine, wait in the car alone then.
My feet are killing me.
No, San. I'm tired.
Of course I am.
Are you serious?
Forget it!
... if you keep me company, I'll be fine.
But ...
San.
Damn.
But I won't.
You'll be glad.
Gun.
Hey, wait!
There's nothing.
Hey, wait!
Damn, it's so cool! / Wow.
I can't believe it's here.
Let's take pictures! / Okay.
Come on.
What temple is this?
Move there a bit. Good.
Okay.
Hey, put me also in the frame!
Hello!
Look over here. Cheer up.
What are you thinking of now?
Hey.
Nothing.
I'm just thinking.
How could my biological parents dump me?
I hate them, Nik.
Eventhough they did that ...
... but still ...
... I have to find out who my real parents are.
Well ...
Keep thinking positively.
We don't know what really happened.
Maybe ...
... they did that because ...
... they were forced.
Let's join them.
Never mind that, okay?
The pictures are so cool.
You'll get a bad luck.
I did it accidentally anyway.
You're superstitious.
But wait a minute.
... I don't recall seeing this kind of ritual offerings.
When we went up ...
Damn.
Watch out, a ghost will pull your trousers down when you sleep.
He's the one who stepped on it, not us.
Never mind.
By the way ...
Not me.
Let it pull yours down.
No way.
... is the orphanage still far away?
I'm not sure.
But I think it's near already.
Let's go.
We should ask somebody.
Come on.
You believe in this shit?
Come on.
Where the hell are they?
Hey.
Looks like that man over there is waving at us.
Yeah, you're right.
... we meet somebody here.
Finally ...
Come on. / Let's go over there.
Let's ask him.
Good.
What is it, Sir?
Where are you going?
We're looking for 'Bunga Dahlia' orphanage.
Over there.
That man is so weird.
Take a look.
Damn right he is. / You bet.
His face was so flat when he talked.
His lips were about to fall down.
Shut up.
Enough, let's move.
The orphanage is ruined.
Let me see.
You're right.
Are we going in or not?
Well?
She's going in.
San.
Yeah, you're right.
Man, this place must have been abandoned a long long time ago.
I'm sure.
You sure this is the place?
Hey!
It's a spooky place.
Watch what you're saying!
Now what, San?
It must have been abandoned long time ago.
Spider web everywhere.
It is spooky. Look.
I feel weird.
Damn.
Well ... seems like we're not the only ones here.
Weird how?
Let's just go in.
Never mind.
Oh, damn.
San.
Sandra, wait a second.
Sandra, are we going in?
Are you serious?
Hey! Wait!
You serious?
This is the same orphanage plank I've seen in the picture.
This is ...
This needs to be documented.
Let's go inside.
Gun! Wait!
San, you're going? Nik!
San.
Sandra.
San, we better go home.
I don't care.
There won't be any clue.
We won't find anything here.
Hey. Sandra.
I won't give up.
She's so stubborn. / Nik.
He goes away.
Oh, Niko.
You make me startled! / You make me startled too!
Damn you! / Damn you too!
Gun, you just wait here.
I'm so curious about this place.
It's rare.
Come on, this kind of house is rare.
You're talking nonsense.
It will be cool.
... about this house.
I want to make a documentary movie ...
What?
Gento.
I'm just shocked.
What are you doing?
What the hell.
Nik.
Yeah.
I've heard that too.
What is it?
There's nothing there.
... somebody was dancing inside!
Niko ...
Nik, I'm not lying!
I've just checked it.
There's nothing there.
So frightening.
It’s dirty.
Who's that?
Sandra!
Sandra.
San, come on. Let's just get out of here.
Just look at this place, it's awful!
You won't find anything here!
I'm really sure that the occupants must have left this place a long long time ago.
Look, Nik.
This is ...
... the picture of Miss Gendis and the orphanage's kids.
So strange.
Just look.
Their expressions are cold.
Hey, wait a second.
Never mind. Let's go.
Ask about what?
I want to ask the locals.
Sandra.
Where the hell is Gento anyway?
Makes me startled.
Niko?
Hello, Gento.
If it takes too long, I'm leaving you.
I don't give a damn.
One moment, I'm shooting now!
Let's leave now.
Yes, San, but ... Sandra.
You understand?
I don't want to go home without result.
And also what happened to Miss Gendis.
They must know what happened to this orphanage.
Anggun, I want to ask the locals.
Wait.
Sandra.
What a stubborn girl.
Sandra.
Sandra, slow down!
Come on. / Damn.
She wanted to find the manager of this orphanage.
Sandra went away.
What's going on?
I was busy shooting but he called.
Damn him.
Gun, where's Niko?
Niko! Sandra!
She's gone.
Damn.
Today, Nyi Roro Kidul project.
After observing some empty houses I've entered ...
... it turns out that every house has a painting of the Queen of South Sea.
Granny ...
... I'd like to ask some questions.
Do you know where Miss Gendis, the orphanage's manager, live?
Over there.
May I ask you to accompany me there?
Sandra!
Gosh!
San.
She's about to tell me where Miss Gendis's house is!
... there was a granny here!
Niko ...
Don't just go away like this!
You should tell me where you're going!
A granny?
There's clearly a granny here!
You think I'm lying?
I saw you here alone!
San, you're delusional.
What granny?
San!
Skulls everywhere!
Look!
What's wrong with you?
Sandra!
They're a mess, look.
Why there are many graves here?
Hey! Gun!
To hell with those!
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Guys! Guys, guys.
I'm serious. Ask Gento.
You serious?
I found a graveyard and there are bones everywhere!
This place is scary.
I found a graveyard.
The graveyard!
What?
It's so scary! I'm not lying!
Yes, the graveyard!
It's scary!
Yeah.
It's true! I saw a graveyard, it's so scary!
You don't believe me?
Yeah, same here. I also didn't see any graveyard.
I didn't see any graveyard on my way here.
Wait a minute.
We better look for Miss Gendis's house.
Okay, enough.
She said it's over there. Come on.
You serious? I didn't see it.
Sandra.
Hey, be careful.
Sandra.
This painting keeps staring at me.
Look.
Hey, wait a minute!
Look at the face.
... Nyi Roro Kidul!
This is the painting of ...
One moment.
You're in front of it.
You're talking nonsense.
Dumbass.
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
This place can be a disaster for you!
Niko, Niko!
Who the hell are you?
San!
They're my friends.
Turns out we're not the only ones here.
How did you know about this place?
Does it really matter for you?
... nobody knows about this kampong.
For your information ...
No wonder.
Yes, it's true.
We haven't seen anybody here.
Do you actually know what kind of place is this?
What kind of place is this?
This kampong is called Queen of South Sea.
A dead kampong.
A kampong which is used to be inhabited by Nyi Roro Kidul's loyal followers.
No wonder this place is so quiet.
Like a graveyard.
Hey, wait!
Who are you?
How do you know everything about this village?
Wait.
If you still love yourselves ...
... you better go home.
He's got a point.
Let's go back home.
Never mind.
Yes, San.
You don't know the address of the people you're looking for anyway, right?
He's right.
Yes, San.
This place is so scary.
Sandra. / San.
Bro.
It looks spooky already. I'm serious.
No need to look spooky.
Put a natural face.
Let's go, To.
There's a local's house.
You're right.
Let's go there.
San.
All right then.
Nobody's here.
Looks like it's empty, like the other one.
You serious, San?
Gosh.
Let's take a rest here.
This village looks dead.
I think so too.
Yes, you're right.
There.
Where?
There's somebody inside!
Hey!
I saw somebody.
You're dreaming. It's still in the afternoon.
There is nobody.
There's nobody.
Nobody lives in this kind of place.
Come on, San.
Help me.
Come on, Nik.
Come on, Nik. Let's open it.
One, two ...
Let's begin.
One, two ...
It sticks.
I told you there's somebody inside!
See? It's not locked.
Excuse me.
Just go in, quick!
You serious?
Excuse me. / Excuse me.
Where?
This is the picture of Miss Gendis.
Yes.
This picture is the same as the one in my house.
Looks like it's Miss Gendis's house indeed.
But where is she?
Now what, San?
Yes, San.
It's up to you.
We're with you all the way.
This is the third house we've found.
And all of them are empty.
Hey, guys.
Night will come soon.
It's getting dark.
What?
Let's continue the journey tomorrow.
Food is all you can think of.
But other equipments and the food are in the car.
But it's just snacks.
I have it in my bag.
Snacks only add dirt on my teeth.
Frankly, I still feel strange about this place.
No locals.
When we finally met someone, he talked irrationally.
I feel the same.
Yeah.
It's useless.
We better go back home.
Okay?
We won't find Miss Gendis anyway.
One moment, I'm picking this up.
Turn that on.
Yes, auntie.
I'm all right, auntie.
How are you doing?
Why haven't you called me?
Sandra.
No, auntie.
So? Have you met Miss Gendis?
But I've found the orphanage.
But ...
Gosh, if I'd known it I wouldn't allow you to go there.
... nobody lives there anymore.
I'm okay, auntie.
I'm worried that something happens to you.
Who knows I might find some clue here.
You must go home tomorrow, okay?
No excuses now.
... that I'll find what I'm looking for. Okay?
Just pray for me ...
Okay, auntie.
What's your girlfriend doing? / Sandra!
Where do you think you're going?
Sandra!
Where's she going?
What about me?
I want to accompany Niko.
You stay here.
Hey, what are you saying?
I'll always be here for you, okay?
If anything happens, let me know.
Why are you so mean to me?
I'll always be here for you.
Sandra!
Where is she?
Yes, like a ghost.
She disappears so fast.
Where is she?
Nik, wait! Niko!
Hey, help me up.
Hey!
Wait!
Sandra!
Nik ...
You also did it, but didn't find her, did you?
I've searched already but she's not there.
Impossible.
... I think she's still in the orphanage.
Yes, I am.
Nik, are you serious?
Let's split up then. / Huh?
Damn.
Niko. Niko!
Damn.
I'm gonna die.
Sandra!
It's so spooky.
How could he do this?
What's that?
You?
What happened to me?
My chest hurts so bad.
That's why I came to you.
You fell down.
We ended up not going home.
No.
I thought you and your friends had gone home already.
... as soon as they find out lost humans.
The wandering spirits in this kampong are increasing ...
That woman ...
That's a wandering spirit in this kampong.
I saw that woman.
By the way ...
... let me introduce myself.
My name is Ernest.
I'm Sandra.
... why are you still here?
So ...
I like doing documentary projects in such haunted places like this.
This Nyi Roro Kidul kampong project is my latest one.
... I'll be safe from the threats of mysterious world's creatures.
As long as I wear this amulet ...
And this is my lucky amulet.
It also encourages me to come to such haunted place like this.
I must tell them all!
I must meet them!
My friends.
Sandra!
If you're afraid I'll accompany you.
Sandra!
Sandra.
What's she doing here at night?
How reckless.
Ouch. Ouch.
A ring.
How terrible.
Ouch!
Sandra! Gento!
Fifteen years ago ...
... a great disaster happened to this kampong.
Everyone in this kampong got burned.
From adults to children.
What caused them to get burned?
They neglected in offering human sacrifice.
Human sacrifice?
But they didn't take one from this kampong.
... they're obliged to offer human sacrifice.
Every Thursday night of 'Kliwon' Friday ...
Even went to big cities for that.
They looked outside this kampong.
So ...
... there were already many victims sacrificed?
Yes.
The distinctive feature of loyal followers in this kampong ...
... is they always displayed a painting of Nyi Roro Kidul in each of their houses.
They must have it in every of their houses.
And it also served as a communication media with the Queen of the South Sea.
Actually ...
... I came to this place ...
... to look for the orphanage's manager.
Her name is Miss Gendis.
Ernest.
Ernest, what's wrong?
For your information ...
... the orphanage you refer to ...
... was not an ordinary orphanage.
Meaning?
That orphanage house ...
... was a shelter for the kids born from Nyi Roro Kidul's sexual intercourse with his male followers.
... she had intercourse directly with her victims?
You mean ...
She entered the body of a woman when she wanted to have an intercourse.
If the woman had a daughter, she will become Nyi Roro Kidul's daughter.
And then ...?
They would be taken care of in that orphanage until they reached seventeen.
It was said that ...
... every kid who would become Nyi Roro Kidul's follower ...
... had a characteristic birthmark.
It was something like ...
... on her upper left thigh.
... a curved blue bruise ...
Sandra!
Anggun?
They left me alone at that empty house.
I don't know.
Where are Niko and Gento?
Gosh! Gosh.
Come on, San.
Ouch.
You make me startled!
What happened to you?
Gento. / What?
It's too many.
My head is dizzy, man.
That's what I mean.
Fool, you bumped your head!
So I bumped into one.
Too many trees.
Too many of what?
Oww.
My back hurts so bad, man.
Rheumatic?
And what happened to you?
Then we get the hell out of here. / Yeah, let's beat it!
We must find Anggun and Sandra.
Man, we've gotta get out of here.
My head hurts.
That's why I bumped into trees.
I've been terrorized for some time!
Same thing happened to me!
You're right!
My leg is pulled up!
Somebody lifted my leg!
So haunted.
You know what? This place is so scary.
Getting old?
What's wrong? Uric acid?
Hey, Nik!
Hey!
Sandra, where have you been?
Sandra!
What are you doing?
Where have you been, Sandra?
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
Are you okay?
But I'm okay.
My back hurts so bad.
... I think we should go back home tonight.
Niko ...
Damn.
Niko, Niko! Nik!
You all wait here. I'll check my car first.
Okay, okay.
You're going back with us, aren't you?
Ernest.
No.
You go first.
Why aren't you going back with us?
I still have some business here.
You be careful. Come on, Gun.
Ernest, I'm leaving.
Niko calls us.
Hurry, the car can run now!
Guys, hey!
Ernest, you seriously not joining us?
No.
Hurry! / Yeah, one second!
No need to put on that scary look. I'm not afraid.
Geez, man.
Come on, quick.
Let's go, quick.
Come on, hurry up!
See you.
Bye, San.
Give my regards to your auntie.
Aunt Mia?
Auntie?
Auntie.
Aunt Mia?
Auntie?
You're home already?
Niko?
I called but she didn't pick up.
... aunt Mia isn't home.
Nik ...
... the door will surely be locked.
But usually when she's away ...
Okay, I'll wait for you.
Bye.
Auntie?
Sandra!
I'm fine.
Are you okay?
Thank God you're here.
I'm worried.
I don't know where my family is up to now.
When I got home, my house was empty.
I'm glad you come.
That's strange.
It's quiet.
... no families are seen.
And in my housing complex ...
I don't know.
The same here.
Let's talk inside.
Darling.
Come on.
Aunt Mia may only just go with her friend.
Don't be panic, okay?
But usually she would call first.
Call her again, San.
Okay, I'll get my cell phone in my room then.
San! Sandra!
What's her name?
... don't let them ever change the name I've given her.
... will be the parents of this child ...
No matter who ...
Sandraloka or Sandra.
Sandra.
Sandra?
Are you all right?
Sandra?
I think she's possessed.
Sandra.
Sandra, it's me, Niko.
Are you all right?
San?
I'll get her to her room. / Yeah.
Drink first.
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm all right.
Really? I'm worried.
I ...
I'm still curious.
I'm curious about what Ernest said.
Ernest told me about birthmark, Gun.
I want to see ...
... is the same as what Ernest said.
... whether my birthmark ...
Then what's the connection?
If I really have that birthmark ...
... that means ...
... I'm Nyi Roro Kidul's descendant.
Let me get you some drink.
All right then.
Anggun.
I'll get some drink first.
How is Sandra?
You've startled me.
Damn you, To!
I change my mind.
Yeah.
You said you won't come here.
That's why I come here. It's frightening.
... that satan from Nyi Roro Kidul village keeps terrorizing me.
And worse ...
My elder brother hasn't been back yet.
I'm confused.
Yeah. Same here.
I'm confused too.
It's quiet.
The people in my district are all gone.
Not just you, To.
No people at all.
Me ...
... Sandra ...
... Anggun ...
My house is empty.
We're all in the same situation.
Sandra.
How are you?
Exactly like what Ernest said.
The birthmark on my left thigh.
Its shape is curved.
Wait a second.
What kind of drama is this, huh?
Look.
Sandra felt that ...
... she's one of ...
... Nyi Roro Kidul's daughter.
Watch what you're saying!
For God's sake!
It's so frightening.
... I've had a premonition.
Gento ...
When I was possessed by the soul of the woman from that Nyi Roro Kidul village.
You serious, San?
Sandra.
We must find out ...
... why everybody suddenly seems vanished from the face of the earth just like that.
For me it's not important.
San ...
... it is you ...
... who wanted to know the origin of your family at first, isn't it?
What's wrong with you?
What? Haunted? Damn.
This house is haunted.
You've got the answer now, haven't you?
Okay? Come on. Forget it.
You better listen to what Niko says now.
Why must you hear what Ernest say anyway?
Never mind.
But that's not the answer I'm looking for.
San ...
... you must be patient in dealing with this.
And maybe ...
I know it must be hard to understand this.
... the sea in your dream ...
... it maybe the south sea.
Anggun.
What time is it now?
Why it's so quiet?
Is it a day off today?
No, it's not.
But there are no students and teachers seen since we entered the school's gate.
Where is everybody?
It's not Sunday and this library is so quiet.
It's impossible if all of them cut class.
So quiet.
But never mind.
This ring looks so good.
So weird.
Nobody in this classroom.
Everybody is vanished from the face of the earth just like that.
Including my aunt.
But I don't know where she is now.
You're right.
There's nobody seen at all on my way to school.
It's like we're on other planet.
We're not dreaming, are we?
If it hurts, it means we're not.
One second.
Niko.
Damn, he didn't pick up.
Okay, okay.
Call Gento.
Who's calling?
Hello, To.
Hello?
I'll go there with Anggun. Okay?
Okay, you wait there.
It's so rare, it's not Sunday!
It's so quiet here, nobody at all.
I'm in the library. You know what?
Where are you now?
Okay, okay.
Let's go. / Come on.
He's in the library.
Over there!
You've startled me!
Gento, what is it?
Gento! Gento!
Singing? / Yes!
Over there! A woman was singing over there!
What?
If I'm sick, I'll be at the hospital, not here!
To, are you sick? Are you sick?
Her face was so frightening!
I saw her there!
What are you talking about? Nothing there!
Her face was scary.
Niko's house is also empty!
Her house is also empty.
Your house is also empty, right?
My house is empty.
Yeah. I feel strange too.
Nobody at all in school until now.
Isn't it strange?
What?
You're no good!
You ask me?
How am I supposed to know? Am I a shaman, supposed to know everything?
How come you don't know?
Where's Niko? / I don't know.
Gento. / What?
What the hell? Damn.
You're here?
I'm in a big mental stress here.
Sorry, sorry. Sorry.
Yeah. I called you but you didn't pick up.
Yeah, where have you been?
Where have you been, Nik?
I was walking on this corridor, you know.
But when I turned my head back ...
I felt like somebody's following me.
... there was nobody, man.
And when I went to the toilet ...
... I was totally terrorized inside.
Have you experienced the same thing?
When I entered to this school ...
... I didn't see one single student here.
Man, I'm feeling so weird since we got back from ...
... from that Nyi Roro Kidul kampong.
... I saw a woman singing traditional song.
You know what? When I was in the library ...
It's true.
The same thing happened to me! The same thing!
That's right, Nik.
What kind of ring is this?
What?
So scary! I swear, I'm not lying!
Her face is so scary.
What?
I never see you wearing a golden ring.
I'm acting like a faggot.
I found this ring.
Where?
In ...
... the village ...
In ...
Seriously, where?
... of Nyi Roro Kidul.
You've known already that the place is haunted!
You're the culprit!
No wonder we're still uncomfortable back from the village!
Shit, you're so stupid!
I'm a human being, not some shit!
What are you saying?
Hey, stop!
Ernest?
How do you know we're here?
Instinct.
I just want to see how you're all doing.
Please.
Can you explain to us what have actually happened?
Yes, and why we don't see any human beings?
There are just four of us.
Your realm is different now.
You're all already dead.
Disappeared from human's world.
When we escaped from the kampong ...
... I've already realized ...
But why we can see you?
... that you all are spirits.
I inherit this gift from my late parents.
I can see so many various astral creatures.
Including four of you.
So you mean this school ...
Yeah.
They're all here.
But they can't see you ...
... and you can't see them either.
No.
I don't believe that.
Perhaps by this way ...
... that you're already gone.
... I can make you believe ...
Now watch this necklace.
We're all dead, you know?
My face looked so idiot.
Look.
We're all dead already. Look.
You've all already been expected.
From now on you've become the followers of Nyi Roro Kidul.
I don't want to.
... I don't want to die.
Gun, San, Nik ...
I still want to be a doctor!
I still want to study!
I met Sandra.
When I was working on Nyi Roro Kidul project's essay.
I've tried to tell Sandra that the place was dangerous at the time.
But Sandra didn't care.
She insisted on finding out where Miss Gendis was.
The orphanage's manager.
I never know what caused Sandra and her friends to die.
But I was a bit suspicious.
When we tried to go and escape from that kampong ...
... they acted strange already.
... that Sandra and her friends were already gone.
I knew it since then ...
There's one more thing you should know.
Sandra was the descendant of Nyi Roro Kidul.
