Synopsis

Azam returns to his village to find his childhood best friend, Ali. Ali and his wife, Minah, are delighted to see him again after thirty years. They have followed his career as a famous singer, though his success has since faded. That night, the three go fishing and visit Pulau Ular. They talk about love, marriage, village folklore, mystical creatures and a wild-boar hunt long ago. As dawn approaches, Minah shows that she can hold her breath underwater for three minutes. Azam tries to do the same, but never resurfaces.
