A young photographer named Tim and his parents go on vacation to a remote island in Indonesia where they hear a legend: the locals believe that if they see a "deer" on the beach, they will meet their soulmate. Tim, who has always longed for a stable relationship, begins to search for the deer, but when the local myth and his family religious beliefs collide, will the one he is waiting for appear?

☆ The Indonesian-Chinese female director uses beautiful and poetic camera techniques to unravel and discuss social taboos and religion.
