TULANG BELULANG TULANG
MY GREAT GRANDPA’S LOST SKELETON
Feature Film – 2024 – 95 minutes – Color – 2.39:1 – Indonesia
Upacara ‘Mangokal Holi’ (pemindahan tulang belulang leluhur) adalah kebanggaan bagi keluarga Batak yang mampu melaksanakannya. Celakanya, koper berisi tulang belulang TULANG TUA (Kakek Buyut) hilang di bandara!!! Mereka harus segera menemukan tulang kalau nggak mau dikutuk OPUNG (Nenek) dan seluruh keluarga besar yang sudah menunggu siap berpesta di Danau Toba.
Perjalanan ini membuat mereka mempertanyakan kembali makna harga diri bagi keluarga mereka.
Mangokal Holi, a ritual to dig and move the bones of tribal ancestors to a new site, is a symbol of pride for Batak family who can afford the lavish ceremony. Unfortunately, the suitcase containing the skeleton of Great Grandpa went missing in the airport. Grandma and the whole clan were waiting, ready to party on the banks of the magnificent Lake Toba, the world’s largest caldera lake. The journey to find Great Grandpa’s skeleton threw a family to many hillarious obstacles: racing across the winding road, chasing a dog thinking the bones were his meal, walking through the forest known for its hungry tigers, all in HIGH HEELS!
The journey for the sake of their family worth taught them the true meaning of self worth.
