The film addresses the exile of approximately 12,000 alleged sympathizers and members of the Indonesian Communist Party, who were sent to Buru Island. The story follows Hersri as he returns to Savanajaya Village, where he lived during his exile. Sanleko Beach, the site where the first political prisoners landed, becomes the place where he recounts these bitter memories to his son, Ken. With no historical landmarks as evidence and his fading memories, Hersri struggles to preserve the painful past.
