Sinengker

A young woman named Asih loses her family one by one in the aftermath of the events of 1965. The tragedy begins with the disappearance of her elder brother, Wigati, followed by the abduction of her sibling and sibling-in-law, and the deaths of her parents. Consumed by grief and resentment toward life and those around her, Asih struggles to move forward. With sincerity and compassion, Ahmad offers her his love and helps her find the strength to rise from her despair.

Directed by M. Aprisiyanto, Sinengker leans on a strong ensemble — Meida Rosanti, Ign. Wahono, Ponijah Wahono — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2007.
