TALE OF THE LAND is a film that delves into the life of a Dayak girl named May, portrayed by Shenina Cinnamon. This film explores the deep trauma experienced by May due to land conflicts in the past.

May's inability to step on the land becomes a strong symbol of the shackles of trauma that limit her life. Water, which becomes her escape, turns into an emotional prison that is difficult for her to leave behind.

Through May's journey, this film invites the audience to reflect on the emotional impact of bitter experiences in the past, as well as how inner wounds can continue to haunt a person.

Set against the exotic and mystical backdrop of Kalimantan's nature, TALE OF THE LAND presents a narrative rich with deep hidden meanings. This film not only presents a story about individual trauma but also raises broader social issues, such as indigenous land conflicts and their impact on society.
