Ancient Soul (2021) Movie Script

1
We can't change our fate.
I must go away.
- Hey, man!
- Hey! How's it going?
- Have you been here for a while?
- Yes, a little while.
Come have a swim. The current is strong,
it's very pleasant.
- It's been a while since the last time I was here.
- How long?
Quite a while, since the rainy season ended
and the river dried up.
- Enjoy it, then.
- Can I borrow the stone?
- This water is purifying.
- Yes, it is.
- So you've spent quite some time here.
- Yes...
I don't feel like going home.
Oh, I see I've heard that Olive
has gone away, right?
Yes. Today it's been a week
since she left.
- A week already?
- That's right
- Don't you feel a huge void?
- Yes, I do. A huge void
What do you think happened?
She left all of a sudden.
I can't understand why
Maybe it was caused by a spell.
- Do you think she was the victim of a spell?
- Yes, it looks like it.
Do you seriously think
a spell was cast on her?
I think so. She started behaving
in a strange way.
Has this happened before?
I always thought she was quite chill.
That's why it's so confusing.
Yes, it's strange.
I am going to see Roni the shaman,
he can help me.
- Is that right?
- He says so.
- Can he cast a spell on her to bring her back?
- Yes.
- How? Using black magic?
- Something like that, he will bring her back to me.
Come on, man!
It's deep!
If you go alone, you will probably come
across ghosts on the way there.
Oh, yes, spooky
It reminds me of that time
- What happened?
- I went alone, at midnight
- You went there alone at midnight?
- Yes, and I felt somebody blowing in my ear.
- I am serious.
- Listen to us, man. Don't go there when it's dark.
Well, how about you?
You saw some spirits dancing, right?
Damn yes, I saw three women.
Dancing ghosts, no kidding.
Yes, man. I was paralyzed.
On the way to Kawa Ijen, during nighttime,
is there any dangerous spot?
What do you mean?
- Are the forests that you pass through dangerous?
- Well, there's that place, next to the mahogany tree.
- What about it?
- It's the place where Nawani took his life.
- Oh, in that giant mahogany tree.
- Yes, where the three mahogany trees are.
- I sensed that place was cursed.
- I can assure it is.
Do you know that Mr Illa saw
a ghost by the Jukung bridge?
He was in shock, he couldn't move.
- He came back in panic.
- Your stories are frightening me.
- So, what do you think of my plan for tonight?
- I'm not sure it's a good idea.
Do whatever you want,
but I wouldn't go in the dark.
- Perhaps I should go in the morning, don't you think?
- It's up to you, man.
- There's a big snake in that mountain.
- Really?
- I saw it once, it's monstruous.
- There's also a tiger living there.
- Near the cave?
- Yes
A very beautiful tiger.
- What happened to uncle Asim is so sad.
- Yes, poor him, to die like that.
- To die alone, in the middle of the forest.
- It's been almost one moon since it happened
- Has it been so long?
- Yes
I don't think it was due to black magic,
it was his fate.
- It wasn't magic?
- No, his time had simply arrived.
Poor man...
- The practitioners of black magic are all dead.
- Are you thinking of Untung?
Untung killed many people.
He killed Mr Gugun with a spell.
- But he died.
- It's said that his own black magic killed him.
Probably. His friend Ramelan
was also killed by his own spell.
- Her name is Olive, right?
- Yes, Olive.
I'm calling you
Olive, Olive, Olive...
Feel me, follow me,
feel Yono's soul.
You don't want to eat,
you don't want to sleep, Olive
You can only think of Yono.
You can't go North,
South, East nor West.
You are lost. You want to go back to Yono.
You can't eat, you can't sleep,
you can only think of Yono.
Olive, Olive, Olive...
Think of Yono and cry for him.
You are crazy, crazy, crazy about Yono.
You can't eat, you can't sleep.
Get up and walk until you find Yono.
You shouldn't play with that, Yono.
I know. Don't worry about it.
Of course I worry.
Shamanic spells are dangerous.
They always have consequences.
You should know that.
I'm just trying to solve
my family problems, mum..
According to shaman Roni, Olive will
come back before the new moon.
Right
You better be careful.
Go get some coconuts after the harvest.
- A spell has made her fall ill.
- Black magic?
Yes, there are many spirits
inside your mother's body.
To get rid of them we will need
to do a possession ritual.
We will enter her body and expel them.
Well, we are done. I am going to
give you some medicine.
If you run out, go to the mountain
to get some more.
Will she need a lot?
Yes, she should take a lot of sulfur.
This is how you prepare it. Can you see?
You mix the sulfur with palm sugar.
She has to take it at least
three times per day.
Shall we organize the Jaranan
ritual in our house?
Yes, we'll do the
possession ritual in here.
But don't forget to give her
sulfur with palm syrup.
- Will she get better?
- Yes
It is the will of God.
I have to leave.
Here's the brochure with all the
information about the trip to Mecca.
It's important for you to believe
that all your troubles,
as this conflict with your wife,
will be over after the trip to Mecca.
That's what I'm hoping for.
This package costs 25 million,
this one 26 million but includes the hotel
This other one includes
the hotel and the airplane.
When do you plan on going on this trip?
Because I can't afford it right now.
We are planning to go next year.
We didn't fix the date yet.
- It won't be from one day to another.
- Well, in that case I believe I can make it.
I know that you don't have much money,
I know your situation well.
But if you have faith in Allah,
I guarantee you will make it.
Work hard in the mines of Kawa Ijen,
put some money aside for food
and save the rest for the trip to Mecca.
God willing, you will make it.
- Yes, I hope that Allah will help me make it.
- If you have faith you will make it. I promise.
- I hope so...
- We will ask Allah.
I've heard that Olive
has gone away, right?
Yes. Today it's been a week
since she left.
- A week already?
- That's right
- Don't you feel a huge void?
- Yes, I do. A huge void
What do you think happened?
She left all of a sudden.
I can't understand why
Well, be patient, man
How did you find out?
I just found out.
Your mother told me.
You have to stay calm.
Allah stands by those
who show patience.
Everything is going to be alright.
- Nurus has invited me to go with him to Mecca.
- Are you serious?
I'm happy to hear that!
It seems like your time has come.
Yes, maybe.
You only live once,
don't waste your time with bad thoughts.
Some time ago I also went to ask
Iman Nurus for advice.
I wanted to solve my family conflicts.
It went really well.
I started praying every day.
And thank God things are better
with my wife now.
- Does the coffee taste bitter?
- Not at all, it's very good.
It's sweet, isn't it?
- The Muhammad Birthday ceremony has begun!
- Yes, it's time to go.
We can meet later at my place.
This is heavy man!
The best you can do is buy her
a washing machine, believe me.
You will see, she will love you
like never before
She will think she has a caring husband
and she will never leave you.
She shouldn't take care of all the housework,
you have to assume responsabilities.
You must help her as much as you can.
Think of how well Muhammad
looked after his family.
You won't feel lazy or bored anymore.
Our prophet always gave
great gifts to his wife.
May God be with you.
This is all I have to say.
I am sorry for my mistakes.
To conclude the ceremony,
let us pray together for something.
During the last month I have taken part
in the production of a film.
This film will be produced in Europe.
And I want all of us to pray together
for this film's success.
God willing, if the film is a success
our little town of Bulusari
will be famous all around the world.
I've already put flowers for grandpa.
Let me clean it.
I always pray for you to be in peace,
I don't want to see you suffering.
You were right in visiting Iman Nurus,
he always gives good advice.
You must follow his advice and get ready
to go with him to Mecca.
It will turn you into a better person,
you will find inner peace
and life will be easy for you.
His proposal was a real surprise.
He offered you that because
he truly knows you.
He wants to help you solve
your family problems,
to get your wife back.
And above all to recover
the inner peace you have lost.
You should start saving part
of your income for the trip.
It's true you don't make
much money in the mine
but if you follow Nurus to Mecca,
that will get better as well.
May Allah help us.
Your cane is going to crack, Yono!
- Mr Wan!
- Hey, long time no see
- Pardon?
- It's been a while since I last saw you.
- I've heard you are having problems with you girl.
- Yes
- Never mind, it was a joke
- You bastard.
- Are you going down to get sulfur?
- Yes, but I will take just a little.
- Let's smoke a cigarette.
- Maybe later.
Come on, Mbah Jhiwo!
We still have to go down twice.
And the lake is already expelling poison.
I'm coming, man, be patient
- Well, I think she's too tired.
- Is she tired?
She works too much
She should work less and pray more.
- She should join the community activities.
- I see.
This is the month of Muhammad's anniversary, it's
important for her to attend all the ceremonies
in the mosques and the musallas,
all of them.
If she does that and takes some rest,
Allah will help her feel better.
I will also give her some holy water.
I'll have to bless this water first.
It's my will.
I'm going away.
Five thousand Rupees
used to be a lot of money, right?
Now you can only afford some candy
with 5,000 or 10,000 Rupees.
- Do you want some cake?
- Yes, later.
When I finish my rice.
You can take some of this, this or that,
whatever you want.
I always bring a lot of food here.
- Yes, I do the same.
- Our job is hard as hell.
But the salary is not much.
I've also brought
two bottles of coffee.
Money is a strange thing.
Don't you think Yono?
It's like the wind.
It's true, it's like a ghost.
It's hard to find
And it disappears all of a sudden.
The last time I came at dark,
I was alone in this area
and a spirit appeard to me.
- Where?
- Around here.
- It seemed to be that tourist
- What tourist?
- The one that died in the crater..
- Oh, that tourist's ghost?
It's true, it always appears around here.
- So you met her?
- I did! Couple days ago
- That's scary
- Yes
Oh, the smoke is coming
Ahhhh, it's hot!
The blue fire is gone,
they will all leave soon.
Yes, they are already leaving.
There's not much sulfur, is there?
No, man, it's tough
We will have to wait.
I can't understand...
What happened to our love?
I'm still here, waiting for you.
Did you forget our vow?
That you and I would stay...
together for all our lives.
You broke my heart.
Until the end of time,
we would stay together.
In the name of heaven and earth,
my love for you is endless.
I never believed I would feel
such a great love.
This will be packed with
people on Saturday night!
- Can we turn here?
- Yes, we can.
- This will be full of chicks on Saturday!
- The mall is on the left
- Saturday night is going to be epic.
- Saturday night?
- I want to take a look at the motorcycles.
- Me too, let's ask for information.
- Let's see what terms they offer.
- Come on, man!
- Which of these motorcycles would you get?
- That one's my favorite.
The gray one?
Good choice, it's like a CBR.
In my opinion, it's a very good time
to invest in Nilecoin.
Due to one simple reason: Nilecoin
is not traded in the open market yet.
The price of Nilecoin is 0,01$ per unit.
Per coin?
Imagine, if we invest 1000$ now,
and once it gets to the market
the Nilecoin rises to 1000$ per unit,
we would become incredibly rich.
The reason is simple: this is like Bitcoin
and a Bitcoin only cost 1$ some years ago.
Think about it, just 1$ per Bitcoin.
If we invest now in Nilecoin
and its value starts rising like the
Bitcoin, imagine how rich we'd be.
We will be top people!
We are talking about
millions or even billions.
- I see
- This sounds pretty good, man.
- You bet
- But how does it work?
What do you mean?
I mean, what makes its value rise or fall?
I can't understand
That will depend on how many people
have faith in Nilecoin,
and therefore decides to invest.
What I am saying is that if many
people believes in Nilecoin
it's value will rise exponentially.
But if people stops
having faith in Nilecoin
it's value will sink.
That's why it's important to
convince others to invest in Nilecoin.
Make them believe it's value will rise.
Tell them: Invest! Invest!
If more and more people join
the value will keep going up.
You will become a millionare.
And what will happen
once you are a millionaire?
Olive will run back to you.
When the value of Nilecoin rises
we could go on a trip to Bali.
Yes, man, we will
travel all over the world.
I will buy the biggest CBR.
Red, like the one of the Nilecoin dealer.
Sweet, man.
You guys have been fooled.
No way, man.
The deaf guy has left with your money.
Wait and see, that guy
is going to make us rich.
- Where are you from, sir?
- I am from Malang.
My wife was from Galean,
but she died here, so I stayed.
- She died here?
- Yes, she did.
When did she die?
One thousand days ago.
And you have been living here since?
Not for that long.
At the beginning
I lived in a shelter.
I cast spells there.
I pray to Allah and make things happen.
I can cure people.
I also give massages. People have
come from Madura to get a massage.
I gave a massage to Mr Jaksa, from
Banyuwangi, and he recovered immediately.
- So you give healing massages?
- Yes.
- And how much do you charge per massage?
- It depends on the situation and the person
If they are rich I ask for more money.
Mr Jaksa gave me 200,000 Rupees.
- And what do you charge normal people?
- I charge them 75,000 or 100,000.
- I charge women 50,000.
- So it depends, doesn't it?
There's no doubt that my method works.
- People get better quickly?
- Very quickly.
So, if we feel unwell,
can we pay you a visit?
Of course! Don't hesitate!
Come see me.
- Do you cure sexual impotence?
- Yes, that can be fixed with a massage.
I'm 118 years old and I still
- Does it get hard?
- Yes, but not for too long.
- You are 118 years old?
- 118.
Her sugar level is very high.
Let me tell you what to do.
We must lower the sugar level quickly.
She must stop eating sweets
and having sugary drinks.
She has to start eating healthy food,
a lot of fruit and vegetables.
As soon as she gets better,
she will have to do exercise.
There's a gymnastics group in the village.
They get together every week.
- And I should give her some medication.
- Yes, of course.
She has diabetes, so she will have to
take medication for the rest of her life.
- Really? Is it very expensive?
- Well, it's not cheap
- Well, I've just made a good investment.
- I will use the profit for her recovery.
Let's go down!
And down again!
Let's walk!
If you reach the top first,
can you get the trolley?
I have another sack at the crater.
- You are not going to the top yet?
- I don't think so.
I'm not sure you will find anybody there,
it's too early.
Uprit is so fit!
He's almost behind us.
- Your basket is too loaded.
- Uprit caught up with us!
We should get going, it's getting late.
Yes, I will also leave.
- You could stay a bit longer.
- I'm sorry, Yon. I hope you're well
I'm sorry for your loss, Yono.
Thank you all for coming.
See you soon, man.
Take care of yourself.
- Let us know if you need anything, Yon.
- Yes, we're here for you.
