Mbah Jhiwo

Jun 10 2021 N/A 1h 33m
Drama

A Kawa Ijen sulfur miner finds his routine radically altered the moment his wife goes away. He enters then a time loop that transforms his reality as his beliefs move from animism to Islam and capitalism. In a hybridization between ethnofiction and documentary, the film questions the myth of progress and explores the relationship with the otherness in the neocolonial reality of the South Seas?.

Plot

Yono is a sulphur miner living in eastern Java. One day, his wife Oliv leaves him, and he tries to get her back.
