Story of 3 former political prisoners in the era of the anti-democratic Soeharto regime. They were a musician named MARKUS TALAM in a Buru Island concentration camp prison for 10 years, a radioman named SUKIMAN and an ordinary farmer named SUYATMAN both were detained in Blitar, East Java prison for 1 year, all without a judicial process. A military operation codenamed “TRISULA” was carried out in the South Blitar area, East Java, to purge the remnants of the members of Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). They weren’t communists, just ordinary farmers who had been caught in that military operation, some of their family members were killed and tortured. Trauma haunts them throughout their lives and justice never served them. Through whispered stories, they hope that in their twilight they will get justice to restore political and citizen rights that were seized by the regime. This film is a story of a long and winding road with a big question, will justice come to those who are oppressed?

What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside. Instead, obstacles arise, both physical and mental, which attempt to dissuade us or even prevent us from moving forward, stalling or stagnating the momentum to achieve what we desire. The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
