Ancient Soul

Mbah Jhiwo

Ancient Soul
Dir. Alvaro Gurrea  - Spain - Osing - Completed

SYNOPSIS


Yono, or Mbah Jhiwo (Ancient Soul), is one of the miners who carry large sulfur rocks up the side of the Kawah Ijen crater every day. One morning, his wife unexpectedly leaves the family home, changing a routine where time had seemed to stop. Since then, trapped like Sisyphus in an eternal task and guided by his faith in getting her back, Yono will confront similar events which will transform their aspect as his beliefs change from animism, to Islam, and to capitalism. An ethno-fictional film that explores otherness and questions the myth of progress in the neo-colonial reality of the islands of the South Seas.
