sinopsis

A little story from the border city of Tangerang and Bogor Regency, where Kang Sui Liong, the temple guard, lives with his wife and son. Times change. Kang Sui Liong bears witness to the glory of the Benteng Chinese living from downstream in Tangerang to upstream in Bogor, until the process of assimilation blackens their skin. At dusk, Kang Sui Liong sits stunned at a crossroads, asking himself, where this ancestral heritage will be taken to?
