Jumbo (2025) Movie Script
Who wants to hear a story?
Me!
You do, Don?
Come closer.
So what's the story, Dad?
Tonight, I'll read you a special story.
BUBBLE ISLAND
I can't wait! Let's go!
Okay. Let's begin.
Calm down now.
"Once upon a time,
there was a little knight
who lived with his parents."
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
"They lived on a huge island."
Wow, is it that huge?
That's right.
The island lies above the clouds,
protected by a massive bubble.
Wow, bubbles!
There were lots of adorable
bubble creatures on the island.
Did the bubbles and the knight get along?
Yes, they did.
Every day,
the little knight had a lot of fun
playing with his parents.
Every day?
Yeah. Sounds fun, right?
Yeah.
But one day,
a dark cloud appeared in the distance.
What happened?
The cloud poured out flashes of lightning.
So scary!
And then what happened?
"We have to go, sweetie.
We have to calm the lightning
in the clouds."
"But don't be afraid."
You are not alone.
"Your friends will look after you."
"That's right."
The mother even sought help from the waves
to always protect the little knight.
"Dear waves,
please take care of our son."
But you're not afraid of lightning,
are you, Don?
Don?
He's out like a light.
Yeah.
Keep it down.
Okay, Mom.
Yes, Mom.
Is the story over?
Not yet, sweetie.
Then will his parents come back
The knight's parents believed
that the little knight
could pull through on Bubble Island.
Because he's a tough boy.
I love you, Don.
I love you too, Mom.
PART 1: THE KNIGHT AND HIS FRIENDS
Hey, catch the ball!
And
No one knows
when the knight's parents will return.
That's enough, Don.
You keep telling us the same story.
Always about the knight.
- I'm bored.
- Wait!
Come on, run!
We're playing baseball!
Our team is losing, you know!
- I'm tired of your stories.
- No, hold on!
It was about to get exciting!
Ouch!
Spinach?
Mbek! What are you doing?
Scared of a little goat?
Nurman.
I was looking for you at our base,
but here you are.
Come on.
Mbek! Push!
You're a bench warmer again?
Ouch!
- I fell down!
- She fell!
Are you okay?
Substitute!
Is there a backup?
- Gosh, what should we do?
- Hello!
I'll do it!
Not you, Jumbo!
Nurman! Hold this.
- Remember. Don't drop it.
- "Don't drop it."
- Don't tear it.
- "Don't tear it."
- Don't damage it.
- "Don't damage it."
Yeah, I got it.
- Thank you, Nurman.
- Just go.
Hey! I'm playing!
Gosh. Why him?
And the batter is
Atta.
You picked Jumbo?
Ready to lose?
Go on, throw.
We'll win!
- Catch the ball!
- That's a long throw.
I'll get it!
Let Aip get it!
It's okay! I can do it!
Excuse me, kitty.
Wait!
SERUNI VILLAGE FESTIVAL
Hey, everyone!
Don't forget to support
the Seruni Village Festival!
This is amazing.
Our village chief will like it.
It's like reddish-yellow,
but yellowish-red. Right?
- It's orange.
- Right! It's orange.
Hey! It's wet paint!
- Oh, no!
- I'm so sorry!
You got footprints all over it! It's ugly!
I think it's nice.
It's more artsy.
Really?
You closed the access to my parents' grave
- for the overpass project!
- Right.
Now you're closing down my shop?
If more problems come up
because of this overpass,
I'll make you pass out!
- Do you hear me?
- Exactly!
I'm only here to communicate
my boss's offer of a relocation.
Where is your boss then?
- Talk to us directly!
- Tell him to come here!
Hey.
What's going on, everyone?
Come on. Just a little more.
Sir! The ball!
Pardon me, Village Chief. I
- If I may, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- These shops belong to the locals.
- Yes.
They have been for many generations.
If you shut them down,
how will they make ends meet?
- Exactly!
- The Village Chief is right!
How about this, sir?
Let me speak to your boss.
Sir, I'm getting tired!
You got something on your bike!
Oh, no!
I got it!
The knight caught a shooting star.
Here! We won, right?
Oh, Jumbo.
- The game is over.
- The game is over.
- You are easy to beat.
- You can't win against us.
- Gosh.
- You'd better go home.
Wash your feet, your hands,
and make up another story.
- Fatso!
- Let's play over there!
How about another match?
No thanks, Don.
We want to play soccer.
I'll join you.
We have five people already.
Who's the other one?
There are only four of you
You can join us next time.
Bye!
Guys!
Aip.
Why, Aip?
Well
You're slow, Don.
Whenever you join, we always lose.
Aip! Let's go!
Coming!
I'll be the goalie!
Wait for me!
Nurman.
I'm sick of being made fun of.
Do I always make everyone lose?
Attention, everyone.
For those who want to sign up
for the stage,
today is the last day.
- Don!
- What?
There!
No later than 5 p.m.
There. Show them you can win.
Well?
- What do I sign up for?
- For that!
- What else?
- This?
But the others mocked me
for telling them stories.
There's no way I can win.
You should try.
Don! Nurman!
- Mae?
- Mae?
Do you know what time it is?
Grandma is waiting for you!
I almost forgot!
Do you have the biscuits?
Yeah. Just hurry up!
Hey. How's my radio?
Ready for rock and roll?
It's ready.
I can fix it in a day.
- Gosh.
- What's wrong?
I think there's a loose screw.
Wait a second.
- Atta, you're home.
- Yeah.
Can you pass me the yellow screwdriver?
This one?
That's right.
Thanks.
Can you help me hold this?
Acil, are you sure you don't want
to see a doctor about your leg?
Oh, my. It might be pricey.
What if I need surgery or something?
You should still get it treated.
The village chief got it covered.
He gave me some money
for medication and bandages.
He gave me this crutch too.
Gosh.
The village chief is very kind, huh?
- Yeah.
- Amazing. Oops!
What's this, Cil?
Go.
Like this.
My little brother made it.
He put together
some old lights and speakers, and voil!
Do you want that on your radio?
Can you do that?
Of course.
It's free of charge for you.
Amazing, man.
Atta, make it like that.
- Atta will take over.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Atta, I can see you're smart like Acil.
Don't you want to join
the Seruni Village Festival stage?
The stage?
You know, the talent show.
I think the registration is open now.
No other kids in the village
can make this.
You should go with this!
The prize is cash!
You can help your brother
get his leg treated.
Isn't that amazing?
WE HAVE TO GO, SWEETIE.
Don.
Why don't you want to do the storytelling?
Right, you memorized everything already.
Right.
If you don't want to read stories,
you can do tricks with my goats instead.
What is this?
- Grandma.
- Yes?
What is this?
FOREVER IN YOUR VEINS
FINALLY, THERE WILL BE NO END
TO MY PRAYERS FOR YOU
This is your mom's handwriting!
Mom made me a song?
This is it!
I can tell this story with my mom's song!
Nurman, Mae. Help me out!
We'll practice at the base!
Mae, you handle the costumes
and play the music.
Nurman, you decorate the stage.
Can you imagine performing this song?
THE COOL DON
So many people will be watching.
If we win, they'd stop calling me Jumbo!
And I'll have lots of friends!
Pretty please?
Okay. Let's prove it to Atta
and the other kids.
Mae?
Fine. Let's do it.
Don't celebrate just yet.
You should sign up quickly.
- See you, Grandma.
- Later.
- Take care. Good luck.
- Don, wait for me.
That's your son.
Sorry, kid.
We have ten participants already.
The registration has been closed.
But miss
How about one more?
Making this is not easy.
Sorry, kid.
Save your light bulbs
for next year's festival.
Okay.
Excuse me!
I want to sign up
for the stage with my friends.
Yeah. We can make it, right?
Gosh.
The registration is closed.
- Gosh! Hey, listen!
- What should we do?
You know the Lenong Nyelonong group
from Cimande Street?
They just told me they can't perform!
They have to attend a gathering
on the 17th!
What should we do?
Did they withdraw?
Yeah! Now I have to fix the lineup!
This means
Are you guys signing up?
- You should!
- Okay.
What are you performing?
This!
The story of a brave knight
on the magical Bubble Island.
Sure.
We'll perform! Let's practice at our base!
Sing, Nurman!
We'll perform! Let's practice at our base!
- We'll perform!
- Jumbo!
How did you get signed up?
The registration was closed!
Well, it's easy.
This is me we're talking about! Don!
Cheater! You cheated!
The registration was closed!
Who says I cheated?
Let's go practice.
They accepted me
because I'm going to
make a cool performance.
Look.
It'll be from this storybook
my parents gave me.
From this book.
But
- What if you don't have it?
- Atta!
Can you still make a cool performance?
- Atta!
- Give it back! It's from my parents!
Atta, that's not cool!
Don!
You said it was cool?
You can't even get this back.
Come on. Get the book back.
Atta!
Gosh!
You will never win. Got that?
Atta!
Atta!
Give it back!
Cheer up, Don.
My mom's song is in that book, Mae.
We can play with trains.
Sap, sap, sap!
How did you do that?
I just did.
This is "sap, sap, sap."
"Sap, sap, sap"?
- How did you do that?
- That's easy.
First "sap."
Startle.
Second "sap."
What's that?
Distract.
Final "sap."
When they're off-guard, take it!
Once you master "sap, sap, sap,"
you can snatch anything.
That includes
Getting my book back from Atta!
- That's right.
- Yeah.
Let's get it back.
Wait, Don. Are you sure?
We need that song
for the performance, Mae.
Nurman!
That!
She's flying.
What's that?
Who are you?
I'm Meri.
We're not dreaming, right?
What's this?
Nurman!
What are you doing?
Ouch!
She's shining, Mae.
Ask first!
Don't just go and touch her.
Here. Give me your hand.
What exactly are you?
I'm a kid, just like you.
Why are you here?
Don.
Nurman.
Mae.
How do you know our names?
Actually,
I want to ask you guys for a favor.
My parents and I
have rested in peace for a long time.
Hurry up, Yasmin!
Dad!
Meri, look at me.
Mom!
Go find help.
Set us free
before this necklace wilts.
Do you understand me?
Where are you going? Don't leave me!
Mom! Dad is in pain!
Meri. Please.
Dad!
Touch your tombstone and run!
Don't be afraid, you can do it, Meri.
I love you.
Mom!
Someone violated
my family's resting place.
Who?
I don't know.
The person had a radio
with a bright light.
I must find that radio
and free my parents.
I believe only you can help me.
Will you help me?
No.
Sorry, Meri.
We can't help you.
Don't say that, Don.
Let's hear what she has to say.
We have to get my book back!
Just listen, Don!
Don.
You know how it feels
to be apart from your parents.
Please help me free my parents.
Please?
I can help you in return.
You said something
about getting back a book.
What can you do?
Look closely.
I can choose who can see me.
It's better than "sap, sap, sap."
Give it back.
Meri.
If not everyone can see you,
that means
you can get my book back unnoticed?
We'll help you find your parents.
Really?
Thank you, Don!
But you must promise to help me.
If you can grab the book, I'll help you.
Okay. I promise.
Okay. Deal?
Let's do it this way.
What do you mean
the gravestone can't be moved?
We've never had problems like this before.
Remember, you promised us that land.
AA SERVICE
Where have you been?
You didn't get into
another fight, did you?
I tried to sign up for the talent show
on a whim.
And?
They let you in?
I was too late.
So I can't participate.
That's all right.
The prize is cash.
It could help treat your leg.
Why are we like this?
Why?
Atta.
If you're tired
or upset,
don't take out your anger on others.
Don't bully your friends.
Just tell me.
Tell me everything.
I will listen to you.
Maybe we're given this kind of life
because we're strong.
Okay, Atta?
There, there. Finish your egg, okay?
That will be tasty with some soy sauce.
EVERY DAY, THE LITTLE KNIGHT HAD A LOT OF
FUN PLAYING WITH HIS PARENTS AND BUBBLES
Atta!
Can you go to Ms. Titin's house tomorrow?
She called and asked for a grass cutting.
- Can you?
- Okay.
Thanks, Ta.
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL

PART 2: GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK!
AA SERVICE
So he's the one who took your book.
There.
The book is in that bag.
Let's follow him.
Don!
Wait!
I'll go out first!
Take care!
Oh dear.
Meri!
Hide!
He can't see me.
Right.
It's just you.
You must be hungry.
Come here.
Here.
He feeds the cat?
Please make it clean.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Here you go.
- I'll weed out everything.
- Yeah.
I'll take care of the trimmed leaves too.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Does Atta like helping people?
It can't be.
He must be pranking her.
There's his bag!
Let's go!
Hey! Don't rush it!
Follow me.
- Push!
- Slowly!
Gosh!
What's your name, pretty flower?
Nurman. You're taking notes
of the flowers?
Yeah, with their names and pictures too.
This one, the golden yellow
with a brown center.
That's a sunflower.
- Sun and flowers are two different things!
- Don, Nurman, focus!
Right.
Enough chatting.
Don is saying nonsense.
But it is called a sunflower.
Don!
"Sunflower."
Nurman! We need to get my
My book
Who's there?
Meri! Where's Don?
Mae!
Come on, Don!
I can't climb!
Gosh!
Nurman! Help him out!
Hey, who's there?
I saw on TV
a fantastic athlete
helping his teammate jump like this!
Fantastic?
You mean gymnastics!
Just trust me!
Hey!
Gosh!
Okay, whatever.
Fantastic. Let's go.
Ouch!
Jumbo?
Run!
Get back here!
- Oh no! I'll go this way!
- Hey!
Get back here!
Give me the book!
Jumbo!
- Run!

Run, everyone!

- Run!
Don! Quickly!
- Mae, come on!
- Hurry!
Jumbo!
Gosh!
Guys, will you be watching
the talent show tomorrow?
Guys!
Jumbo!
What's going on?
I'm going to perform my story
at the Seruni Village Festival!
You'll watch, right?
You still haven't learned
your lesson, Jumbo.
I told you, you'll never win!
You still insisted.
We've had enough of your story anyway.
You even suck at baseball. Let's go.
I'm hungry.
No!
I don't want to be a spectacle!
Meri.
Only you can make my performance special.
Come on.
You promised that if I get the book,
you'll help me find my parents.
I know.
But help me one more time.
Just until the performance is over.
After that, I'll help you!
Okay?
Meri.
Promise?
This is the last time.
Yeah!
Promise?
Yeah, I promise.
Okay.
Meri will help us with our performance!
But wait.
To avoid suspicion,
Meri should dress up like us.
Yes!
Meri. Try this on.
Meri!
Now this is awesome!
You'll fit right in as our fourth member.
Right?
So, any progress?
My patience is wearing thin.
Why is it taking so long?
You've never dismantled a grave
that took this long.
Listen, I'll give you two days.
If it's not done by then, the deal's off.
Got it? Two days.
SOULS DIMENSION
LETTER BOX
- Grandma.
- Yes?
Can you tell me
how my parents made this book?
Back then, your parents
worked on this book for days,
late into the night.
I got it, okay!
How about
A little knight.
A little knight.
He will live on
- On?
- A world of bubbles.
A bubble world?
Don loves playing with soap bubbles
in the bath, doesn't he?
Here. What do you think?
It looks like him.
Yeah.
I'm worried Don will feel lonely
when we travel to meet the publishers.
He has this book to keep him company.
What if the knight in this story
has parents who must leave?
- Interesting.
- Right?
- Let's give him a friend.
- Yeah!
- To keep him company.
- Okay.
What do you think?
The waves look lovely.
Right? Just like you.
Why don't you read him the story tonight?
I'm sure he'd love it.
Great idea.
Your parents
may not be with us anymore.
But this book
will always keep you company.
So don't you worry.
You've got me and this book.
You will always have friends.
I have to give the best performance.
I want to make my parents proud.
Amen.
PART 3: FESTIVAL NIGHT AND MEMORIES
Listen up!
THINGS TO MAKE OUR PERFORMANCE GREAT:
VOCALS, DECORATIONS, COSTUMES.
I have listed what we need to do
to make our performance great!
Stay disciplined!
Follow Maesaroh's instructions!
Got it?
- Aye!
- Yes!
Let's begin with the most important one.
Vocal!
For our decorations and costumes,
we need paint, cardboard, and fabric!
Two thousand?
What's this piggy bank for
if no one's using it?
Where can we get money?
I know!
We should join
one of the festival's games!
SERUNI VILLAGE FESTIVAL
Pick up the coins with your mouth,
not your hands.
And the winner is
Nurman. With 11,000.
We won!
Don! Nurman!
Go, Nurman! Don!
- Come on!
- You can do it!
Come on!
Another fail.
Good luck falling down!
Just give up, Don!
He keeps falling down.
We won!
Yeah!
We did it!
FOREVER IN YOUR VEINS
Being friends with Nurman and Mae
seems like a lot of fun.
Nurman lives with his grandpa.
He never met his mom.
His dad passed away
due to an illness.
Now he takes care of his grandpa's goats.
As for Mae,
before living with her current mom,
she was in an orphanage.
Sometimes, I feel like
my mom and dad sent me those two
to me from heaven.
I believe that.
From the moment I saw you guys,
I felt safe.
I can also recognize your scent.
Scent?
You smell like jasmine tea,
just like what I used to drink.
Smells good.
You really cherish this book, don't you?
This is the last thing I remember
from my mom and dad.
After reading this,
they rushed to the train station
the next day in a car.
They almost missed the train.
Grandma said it was raining heavily
that morning.
The road was slippery.
Look.
This knight is exactly like me.
His parents left him on an island.
When I got separated from my mom and dad,
they gave me this.
But if the necklace wilts,
I can't go home with them.
And then what will happen?
I'll just vanish.
Vanish?
Meri.
I promise,
you'll be able to go home.
Trust me.
Trust the Bubble Knight.
How big is Bubble Island?
As big as
Jumbo.
Here comes our next participant!
Jumbo Group!
It's starting. Jumbo Group.
Let's see.
Once upon a time,
there was a little knight
who lived with his parents.
They lived on a huge island.
Every day, on the island,
the little knight had a lot of fun
playing with his parents.
But one day,
a dark cloud appeared in the distance.
The cloud
poured out flashes of lightning!
"We have to go.
We have to calm the clouds."
In his solitude,
the little knight consoled himself
with a song.
If one day
The storm comes
And the wind shakes you
Let it pass
Because life wants you
To be stronger
When that time comes
But we're not by your side
I want you to hear
My singing voice
I'm sure with each passing day
You will learn to be friends with grief
Do not be afraid
To express your sadness
My child
Remember that no effort
Will ever be in vain
Don't you worry about this harsh world
Finally, there will be no end
To my prayers for you
Live your fullest life
With a smile in your heart
-I pray
-I pray
That you always
Always
-Live happily
-Happily
Even when
Life doesn't go well
This song is more than just a melody
I want you to listen closely
With your heart, not your ears
Remember
This song is more than just
Words
Later in life
You will find meaning
A gesture
Of my sincere love
A gesture
Of my sincere love
Amazing, Jumbo!
- That was great!
- Jumbo!
Now that's cool!
Jumbo!
It is time to announce the winner
of tonight's performance!
Who will be the winner?
Jumbo!
CHAMPION
SERUNI VILLAGE PERFORMANCE
As the winner,
Jumbo Group will perform once again
at the conclusion of
Seruni Village Festival tomorrow night!
- A round of applause!
- Perform again?
We won!
Thank you, everyone!
Meri!
What's wrong?
- Amazing! Jumbo!
- Thank you!
I'm okay, Mae.
How was that possible?
Jumbo!
- Jumbo Gang!
- Jumbo Gang!
Meri!
You sang so well!
- Awesome!
- Yeah! That's right.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
When are we going to look
for my parents, Don?
Tomorrow?
You heard them, right?
We'll perform again on the final night!
Right?
Yeah and?
Let's look for the radio
after the final night?
That's not what you promised, Don.
I know.
But Jumbo's performance needs you.
You saw it, didn't you?
Everyone loved my performance!
I told you I'd only appear once!
Yeah, but if you go home now,
what about my performance?
You promised!
I'm still keeping my promise.
It's just on hold.
Don! I don't have much time!
- Meri!
- Meri.
- Come down, please!
- Come down, please!
Fine!
I'll look for them myself
if you won't help me!
I can't believe you!
Meri!
Where are you going?
Thank you for the medicine, Village Chief.
Acil!
- Bro
- Hey!
- Sir.
- Hello, Atta.
Let me tell you something!
Jumbo won the stage performance!
- Really? That's great.
- But
That's not the point! He cheated!
He got help from
From a ghost.
What are you talking about?
I'm serious!
I saw the ghost myself!
It was a girl with a glowing body.
I saw her hiding in an old warehouse.
Old warehouse?
That's right. That's Jumbo's base!
Near the forest?
Stop speaking nonsense.
Listen, our village is safe.
As long as I'm around,
no ghosts will disturb the residents.
Pardon my little brother, sir.
He and his fantasies, you know.
He's a kid, after all.
By the way, Acil.
- Yes, sir?
- I almost forgot.
I came here to offer you a job.
Yes.
But it's still up to you,
if you're up for it.
Of course I'm up for it, sir.
That's good to hear.
You can take your little brother too.
He can ride in the car with us.
Okay, sir.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Yes, sir!
Take care!
AA SERVICE
- Ida Setiawati.
- Yes?
Will you marry me?
- Yes.
- Until death do us part.
Until death do us part.
Forever.
Honey, careful!
I'll pinch you!
Hey, don't move too much!
Ida! Hey! Da!
Sir, you are not allowed to pass through.
That's my wife's grave, sir!
This area is off-limits.
What are you going to do
with my wife's grave?
Sir! Ida!
I saw the ghost myself!
It was a girl with a glowing body!
PERFORM ON THE FINAL NIGHT!
Are you ready?
Yes.
All right. Nice.
What am I missing?
Meri.
I'd be upset too if I were her.
She helped us, Don.
But we don't help her?
But we have another performance, Mae!
More people will watch it.
Yeah, but
If Meri is still upset,
can we even perform at all?
Yeah.
You should apologize, Don.
Right.
I know!
- Let's go, Mae!
- Okay.
Sorry, sir. I don't understand.
What are we doing here?
Stop asking questions.
Hold this.
Come out, little ghost.
Little ghost?
That sound.
That's
Meri.
Who are they?
- Are those
- Her parents?
Mom, Dad!
Meri.
- Come here.
- Dad?
Meri! Get away from them!
They're not your parents!
I don't believe you!
Meri, I'm sorry!
- Meri.
- Meri.
- Meri.
- Meri!
Let me go!
- Let's help her!
- Yeah!
Let her go!
- Let Meri go!
- Acil! Help me!
- Let her go!
- Don!
Right.
- Go away!
- Let her go!
- Atta!
- Jumbo!
No!
Don!
Hang on, Nurman, Mae!
Atta!
Give it to me!
No!
I won't let you perform!
This book
is the only thing I have!
Meri!
BUBBLE ISLAND
My book!
My book!
Please. Please stay intact.
Please stay intact.
Acil, get up.
Come with me to the graveyard.
Sorry, sir. I don't want to.
I'm taking my little brother home!
Home?
Acil!
Did you hear that?
- Acil!
- Atta!
Go home!
- No!
- I'll go home after you.
- Acil!
- You go on ahead.
- Go!
- No.
Where are you taking my brother?
Acil!
Acil!
Acil!
Acil.
It's all because of you, Atta!
Meri got taken away!
And what about my performance?
Don!
You're still thinking
about the performance?
Meri is in danger!
We should've helped Meri
find her parents from the start!
Things wouldn't have turned out this way!
You guys are blaming me?
It's all his fault!
Acil, where are you going?
Acil
Atta.
Was the man with the village chief
your brother?
My brother didn't know
anything about this!
The village chief offered him a job.
I don't believe him! He's lying!
Don, hear him out!
We don't know his side of the story!
What story?
He must've told the village chief
about Meri.
So she couldn't help us
with the performance.
His brother took Meri too.
He is a bad guy!
No! My brother didn't do anything wrong!
- He's kind.
- Jeez.
- Wait!
- See?
- He ran away!
- Atta!
Don.
- Don
- You guys don't care about me!
Don!
Nurman!
I didn't mean to.
Why would Mae and I go through all this
if we didn't care about you?
Mae.
Let's go help Meri.
Yeah, Man.
You only want to be listened to,
but you never try to listen to others.
Mae.
AA SERVICE
Don't worry.
My brother will be okay.
He'll come home.
Is this
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL
What's wrong, dear?
I made a lot of people sad.
Do you know
what I do when I'm sad?
I don't know.
I listen to your stories.
For example,
"The lunch was delicious, Grandma!"
"I'm going to perform, Grandma!"
Hearing your stories makes me happy.
For every sad role
There is a cheerful role.
And you cheer me up.
And for every storyteller,
there must also be a listener.
How do I fix my story?
If you want to be a good storyteller,
you must be a good listener.
A story can't be a story
if no one listens.
Isn't that right?
Nurman?
Nurman, Mae
Don.
Can I talk to you?
Ouch!
What do you want?
I'll hear you out.
Was that book
made by your parents?
I'm sorry.
I was envious of you.
You have caring friends,
an amazing performance
I wish I could have all that.
But all I have
is my brother.
I'm sorry, Don.
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL
I'm sorry too.
I called your brother a bad guy.
I just want my brother to come home.
I want him to recover.
ANIMAL WORLD
PLANTS WORLD
NURMAN'S WORLD
BEST FRIEND
Grandma said,
in every story, there are many roles.
This story needs you to play a role.
Help me rescue Meri and your brother.
Okay?
Be a new knight.
What do you say?
Yeah!
Where is she?
Nurman! Mae!
I know where Meri is!
Let's go!
Nurman.
If you know where she is,
you should have gone on your own.
You can go without us.
Nurman, Mae.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been a good friend.
These past few days,
all I've thought about is the performance.
To the point that
I forgot about my friends
who care deeply about me.
Nurman, Mae.
We have to help Meri.
I could never have done
anything by myself.
I reached this far
thanks to you, Nurman,
and Mae.
I'm sorry, Man.
I'm sorry, Mae.
No more pushing me to the ground, okay?
Nurman.
It's hard to wash off the dirt.
Are we all friends now?
Yeah.
I think I know where my brother
and Meri were taken.
This map belongs to the village chief.
Look at these dots.
They're evenly spaced.
- The overpass foundations!
- The overpass foundations!
Right.
I think they were taken here.
We need to get there quickly!
I'm sure Meri's family's grave
is over there!
The one who wrecked the grave back then
must have been the Village Chief.
He brought the radio!
Let's take him down
WOLF
with a performance.
There are four of us
and we have a lot of things to carry.
How can we get there quickly?
Ta-da!
What is that, Man?
A bike?
So cool!
Are you sure it's safe?
Slow down!
This is slow!
Mae! Atta! This is so much fun!
Meri!
We're coming for you!
PART 4: THE FOURTH KNIGHJUMBO GROUP'S PERFORMANCE
- Jumbo Group isn't here yet?
- Not yet.
The show is about to begin!
This is it.
Based on the map, it's here.
There! Look over there!
We should split up.
We wait for Atta and Mae's signal.
- Okay.
- Okay.
That's the signal. Let's go.
Ready!
You never stop bugging me, do you?
Let me tell you something.
- Meri!
- Meri!
If you don't stop,
I will make this ghost disappear forever!
Is that what you want?
- Don, what are you doing?
- Oh, man.
What is this?
What's that?
"Sap, sap, sap!"
Run, Don!
You little brat!
You're amazing, Don!
- Run!
- That was
Which button was it?
- Don!
- Sir!
What should I press?
- Come here!
- Gosh!
Never mind, sir!
WARNING: AUTHORIZED VEHICLES
MAY ENTER AND EXIT FREQUENTLY
Acil!
Atta!
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
What are you doing here?
I told you to go home.
My friends and I made a plan.
But we need your help.
Me? For what?
That's enough.
Let's talk nicely.
Okay?
- I just need to know
- How do I do this?
What do you want.
Don!
My radio!
Give it back!
I'm tired.
Gosh!
Meri!
I did it!
Meri.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
I promised you.
Don! The radio!
My radio is back!
It's over for you!
- Oh, no.
- Now,
you will become
A spinach?
The goats!
Awesome!
Hey! Over here, hurry!
- Quickly, Don!
- Nurman!
Come on!
- Step on it, Don!
- Let's go!
Let's go!
- Faster, Don!
- Yeah!
Get back here!
Faster, Don!
Come on! Work!
Dad?
Mom?
Don, look!
Look at what?
Don!
Ouch!
- Ouch!
- Ouch!
Ouch!
Don, did you see them?
Meri's parents.
They're also wearing jasmine necklaces.
Come here!
Stop running.
Get up!
Just a bit more.
We're almost there.
Guys!
- What?
- What is it, Don?
- Let's split up.
- How?
Nurman and I
will take care of Meri's parents.
Mae! Do you have my book?
Yeah.
Here, Atta.
Why are you giving it to me?
Listen up.
Go!
Jumbo Gang!
Assemble!
Split up!
Come here!
Tear it off, Atta!
Meri!
It's working!
What's happening?
SODA TEA
Don!
From all the graves I've ever destroyed,
spirits I've captured,
only you've been a real pain!
Because of you,
my plans are all messed up!
Now, you're going into this radio,
and open your tomb
for me!
Don!
Don!
Don!
Here!
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
This book
will always keep you company.
Nurman!
Go!
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
Dad?
- Mom!
- Meri.
- Meri!
- My dear!
Dad, Mom
My dear.
Don.
Your book
I'm okay.
It's just a book.
I have the rest in here.
You brats!
Did you really think
you brats could stop me?
Why did you violate
Meri's family's graves?
Are you trying to sell the land?
That's terrible!
That's unfair!
Fair?
You're just a kid!
What do you know about what's fair?
My wife's grave was also violated.
No one helped me.
No one listened to me!
No one was fair to me!
Since then, I understood.
The only true form of fairness
is if everyone suffers the same!
If my wife's soul
couldn't be left in peace,
then nobody can!
What will I do with the land?
That's my business!
If I can't sell this land,
no problem.
There are plenty of other graves
and shops that I can evict.
I'll sell them one by one!
It doesn't matter if it's not an overpass.
I'll sell it for anything else!
Gosh.
Yeah.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for your patience in the dark.
Did you hear
- what the Village Chief said?
- No.
No, that was
You've heard everything, right?
It was all an act.
Right, Don?
Come on, do your part, like we practiced.
Come on, Don!
Take him away.
Hey!
- I'm the Village Chief! I can explain!
- Way to go, Jumbo!
Don.
That was a great performance.
Awesome!
Nice!
We're so proud of you! Well done, Jumbo!
Nice!
Don.
You still have a promise to fulfill.
Right.
Don.
You know the frequency, right?
Yeah.
Thank you, my friends.
You were there for me
when I was all alone.
Thank you, Meri.
Thanks to you,
we can see what others can't.
And you taught us to listen.
Meri.
Goodbye.
Go in peace.
Let's go, Meri.
Let's go home.
Come, darling.
- Bye, Meri!
- Bye, Meri!
- Until next time!
- See you!
I will always remember you, Meri.
Forever.
PART 5: ONE YEAR LATER
You can't escape, Witch!
The Witch and the Three Magical Goats!
Magical goats?
Nurman made the story.
What is your role, Don?
I'm not in the play.
I'm just helping out.
I'm glad that this time,
you took on the role
of helping your friends.
When I was little,
my friends and I
used to help each other.
When I was a kid,
I had a best friend.
Here, look.
Her name was Maria.
I used to call her
Meri.
Meri.
Later in life
You will find meaning
A gesture
Of my sincere love
Don?
Mom?
Yes, sweetie.
My little knight has grown so big.
Dad!
How are you?
We're doing all right.
It's all thanks to your prayers.
I promise
I'll pray even more for you.
I promise.
I'm sorry.
If I had listened to my friends back then
The radio wouldn't have broken.
I could have seen you now.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
We are always here.
We're so proud of you.
You've grown into a great young man.
You've improved the story
that we made for you.
You be good to your grandma.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And be good to your friends too.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, Mom.
We have to go now.
Okay.
Don't go too far.
Don't leave me.
No, sweetie.
Never, sweetie.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, Mom.
Guys!
Let's play baseball!
Let's play!
Are you coming?
Come on!
Wait for me!
Jumbo is coming!
FOR MOM AND DAD,
FROM DON AND FRIENDS
THIS FILM COMMEMORATES ALL THE STORIES
AND FOND MEMORIES OF MRS. HELENA
Me!
You do, Don?
Come closer.
So what's the story, Dad?
Tonight, I'll read you a special story.
BUBBLE ISLAND
I can't wait! Let's go!
Okay. Let's begin.
Calm down now.
"Once upon a time,
there was a little knight
who lived with his parents."
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
"They lived on a huge island."
Wow, is it that huge?
That's right.
The island lies above the clouds,
protected by a massive bubble.
Wow, bubbles!
There were lots of adorable
bubble creatures on the island.
Did the bubbles and the knight get along?
Yes, they did.
Every day,
the little knight had a lot of fun
playing with his parents.
Every day?
Yeah. Sounds fun, right?
Yeah.
But one day,
a dark cloud appeared in the distance.
What happened?
The cloud poured out flashes of lightning.
So scary!
And then what happened?
"We have to go, sweetie.
We have to calm the lightning
in the clouds."
"But don't be afraid."
You are not alone.
"Your friends will look after you."
"That's right."
The mother even sought help from the waves
to always protect the little knight.
"Dear waves,
please take care of our son."
But you're not afraid of lightning,
are you, Don?
Don?
He's out like a light.
Yeah.
Keep it down.
Okay, Mom.
Yes, Mom.
Is the story over?
Not yet, sweetie.
Then will his parents come back
The knight's parents believed
that the little knight
could pull through on Bubble Island.
Because he's a tough boy.
I love you, Don.
I love you too, Mom.
PART 1: THE KNIGHT AND HIS FRIENDS
Hey, catch the ball!
And
No one knows
when the knight's parents will return.
That's enough, Don.
You keep telling us the same story.
Always about the knight.
- I'm bored.
- Wait!
Come on, run!
We're playing baseball!
Our team is losing, you know!
- I'm tired of your stories.
- No, hold on!
It was about to get exciting!
Ouch!
Spinach?
Mbek! What are you doing?
Scared of a little goat?
Nurman.
I was looking for you at our base,
but here you are.
Come on.
Mbek! Push!
You're a bench warmer again?
Ouch!
- I fell down!
- She fell!
Are you okay?
Substitute!
Is there a backup?
- Gosh, what should we do?
- Hello!
I'll do it!
Not you, Jumbo!
Nurman! Hold this.
- Remember. Don't drop it.
- "Don't drop it."
- Don't tear it.
- "Don't tear it."
- Don't damage it.
- "Don't damage it."
Yeah, I got it.
- Thank you, Nurman.
- Just go.
Hey! I'm playing!
Gosh. Why him?
And the batter is
Atta.
You picked Jumbo?
Ready to lose?
Go on, throw.
We'll win!
- Catch the ball!
- That's a long throw.
I'll get it!
Let Aip get it!
It's okay! I can do it!
Excuse me, kitty.
Wait!
SERUNI VILLAGE FESTIVAL
Hey, everyone!
Don't forget to support
the Seruni Village Festival!
This is amazing.
Our village chief will like it.
It's like reddish-yellow,
but yellowish-red. Right?
- It's orange.
- Right! It's orange.
Hey! It's wet paint!
- Oh, no!
- I'm so sorry!
You got footprints all over it! It's ugly!
I think it's nice.
It's more artsy.
Really?
You closed the access to my parents' grave
- for the overpass project!
- Right.
Now you're closing down my shop?
If more problems come up
because of this overpass,
I'll make you pass out!
- Do you hear me?
- Exactly!
I'm only here to communicate
my boss's offer of a relocation.
Where is your boss then?
- Talk to us directly!
- Tell him to come here!
Hey.
What's going on, everyone?
Come on. Just a little more.
Sir! The ball!
Pardon me, Village Chief. I
- If I may, sir.
- Yes, sir.
- These shops belong to the locals.
- Yes.
They have been for many generations.
If you shut them down,
how will they make ends meet?
- Exactly!
- The Village Chief is right!
How about this, sir?
Let me speak to your boss.
Sir, I'm getting tired!
You got something on your bike!
Oh, no!
I got it!
The knight caught a shooting star.
Here! We won, right?
Oh, Jumbo.
- The game is over.
- The game is over.
- You are easy to beat.
- You can't win against us.
- Gosh.
- You'd better go home.
Wash your feet, your hands,
and make up another story.
- Fatso!
- Let's play over there!
How about another match?
No thanks, Don.
We want to play soccer.
I'll join you.
We have five people already.
Who's the other one?
There are only four of you
You can join us next time.
Bye!
Guys!
Aip.
Why, Aip?
Well
You're slow, Don.
Whenever you join, we always lose.
Aip! Let's go!
Coming!
I'll be the goalie!
Wait for me!
Nurman.
I'm sick of being made fun of.
Do I always make everyone lose?
Attention, everyone.
For those who want to sign up
for the stage,
today is the last day.
- Don!
- What?
There!
No later than 5 p.m.
There. Show them you can win.
Well?
- What do I sign up for?
- For that!
- What else?
- This?
But the others mocked me
for telling them stories.
There's no way I can win.
You should try.
Don! Nurman!
- Mae?
- Mae?
Do you know what time it is?
Grandma is waiting for you!
I almost forgot!
Do you have the biscuits?
Yeah. Just hurry up!
Hey. How's my radio?
Ready for rock and roll?
It's ready.
I can fix it in a day.
- Gosh.
- What's wrong?
I think there's a loose screw.
Wait a second.
- Atta, you're home.
- Yeah.
Can you pass me the yellow screwdriver?
This one?
That's right.
Thanks.
Can you help me hold this?
Acil, are you sure you don't want
to see a doctor about your leg?
Oh, my. It might be pricey.
What if I need surgery or something?
You should still get it treated.
The village chief got it covered.
He gave me some money
for medication and bandages.
He gave me this crutch too.
Gosh.
The village chief is very kind, huh?
- Yeah.
- Amazing. Oops!
What's this, Cil?
Go.
Like this.
My little brother made it.
He put together
some old lights and speakers, and voil!
Do you want that on your radio?
Can you do that?
Of course.
It's free of charge for you.
Amazing, man.
Atta, make it like that.
- Atta will take over.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Atta, I can see you're smart like Acil.
Don't you want to join
the Seruni Village Festival stage?
The stage?
You know, the talent show.
I think the registration is open now.
No other kids in the village
can make this.
You should go with this!
The prize is cash!
You can help your brother
get his leg treated.
Isn't that amazing?
WE HAVE TO GO, SWEETIE.
Don.
Why don't you want to do the storytelling?
Right, you memorized everything already.
Right.
If you don't want to read stories,
you can do tricks with my goats instead.
What is this?
- Grandma.
- Yes?
What is this?
FOREVER IN YOUR VEINS
FINALLY, THERE WILL BE NO END
TO MY PRAYERS FOR YOU
This is your mom's handwriting!
Mom made me a song?
This is it!
I can tell this story with my mom's song!
Nurman, Mae. Help me out!
We'll practice at the base!
Mae, you handle the costumes
and play the music.
Nurman, you decorate the stage.
Can you imagine performing this song?
THE COOL DON
So many people will be watching.
If we win, they'd stop calling me Jumbo!
And I'll have lots of friends!
Pretty please?
Okay. Let's prove it to Atta
and the other kids.
Mae?
Fine. Let's do it.
Don't celebrate just yet.
You should sign up quickly.
- See you, Grandma.
- Later.
- Take care. Good luck.
- Don, wait for me.
That's your son.
Sorry, kid.
We have ten participants already.
The registration has been closed.
But miss
How about one more?
Making this is not easy.
Sorry, kid.
Save your light bulbs
for next year's festival.
Okay.
Excuse me!
I want to sign up
for the stage with my friends.
Yeah. We can make it, right?
Gosh.
The registration is closed.
- Gosh! Hey, listen!
- What should we do?
You know the Lenong Nyelonong group
from Cimande Street?
They just told me they can't perform!
They have to attend a gathering
on the 17th!
What should we do?
Did they withdraw?
Yeah! Now I have to fix the lineup!
This means
Are you guys signing up?
- You should!
- Okay.
What are you performing?
This!
The story of a brave knight
on the magical Bubble Island.
Sure.
We'll perform! Let's practice at our base!
Sing, Nurman!
We'll perform! Let's practice at our base!
- We'll perform!
- Jumbo!
How did you get signed up?
The registration was closed!
Well, it's easy.
This is me we're talking about! Don!
Cheater! You cheated!
The registration was closed!
Who says I cheated?
Let's go practice.
They accepted me
because I'm going to
make a cool performance.
Look.
It'll be from this storybook
my parents gave me.
From this book.
But
- What if you don't have it?
- Atta!
Can you still make a cool performance?
- Atta!
- Give it back! It's from my parents!
Atta, that's not cool!
Don!
You said it was cool?
You can't even get this back.
Come on. Get the book back.
Atta!
Gosh!
You will never win. Got that?
Atta!
Atta!
Give it back!
Cheer up, Don.
My mom's song is in that book, Mae.
We can play with trains.
Sap, sap, sap!
How did you do that?
I just did.
This is "sap, sap, sap."
"Sap, sap, sap"?
- How did you do that?
- That's easy.
First "sap."
Startle.
Second "sap."
What's that?
Distract.
Final "sap."
When they're off-guard, take it!
Once you master "sap, sap, sap,"
you can snatch anything.
That includes
Getting my book back from Atta!
- That's right.
- Yeah.
Let's get it back.
Wait, Don. Are you sure?
We need that song
for the performance, Mae.
Nurman!
That!
She's flying.
What's that?
Who are you?
I'm Meri.
We're not dreaming, right?
What's this?
Nurman!
What are you doing?
Ouch!
She's shining, Mae.
Ask first!
Don't just go and touch her.
Here. Give me your hand.
What exactly are you?
I'm a kid, just like you.
Why are you here?
Don.
Nurman.
Mae.
How do you know our names?
Actually,
I want to ask you guys for a favor.
My parents and I
have rested in peace for a long time.
Hurry up, Yasmin!
Dad!
Meri, look at me.
Mom!
Go find help.
Set us free
before this necklace wilts.
Do you understand me?
Where are you going? Don't leave me!
Mom! Dad is in pain!
Meri. Please.
Dad!
Touch your tombstone and run!
Don't be afraid, you can do it, Meri.
I love you.
Mom!
Someone violated
my family's resting place.
Who?
I don't know.
The person had a radio
with a bright light.
I must find that radio
and free my parents.
I believe only you can help me.
Will you help me?
No.
Sorry, Meri.
We can't help you.
Don't say that, Don.
Let's hear what she has to say.
We have to get my book back!
Just listen, Don!
Don.
You know how it feels
to be apart from your parents.
Please help me free my parents.
Please?
I can help you in return.
You said something
about getting back a book.
What can you do?
Look closely.
I can choose who can see me.
It's better than "sap, sap, sap."
Give it back.
Meri.
If not everyone can see you,
that means
you can get my book back unnoticed?
We'll help you find your parents.
Really?
Thank you, Don!
But you must promise to help me.
If you can grab the book, I'll help you.
Okay. I promise.
Okay. Deal?
Let's do it this way.
What do you mean
the gravestone can't be moved?
We've never had problems like this before.
Remember, you promised us that land.
AA SERVICE
Where have you been?
You didn't get into
another fight, did you?
I tried to sign up for the talent show
on a whim.
And?
They let you in?
I was too late.
So I can't participate.
That's all right.
The prize is cash.
It could help treat your leg.
Why are we like this?
Why?
Atta.
If you're tired
or upset,
don't take out your anger on others.
Don't bully your friends.
Just tell me.
Tell me everything.
I will listen to you.
Maybe we're given this kind of life
because we're strong.
Okay, Atta?
There, there. Finish your egg, okay?
That will be tasty with some soy sauce.
EVERY DAY, THE LITTLE KNIGHT HAD A LOT OF
FUN PLAYING WITH HIS PARENTS AND BUBBLES
Atta!
Can you go to Ms. Titin's house tomorrow?
She called and asked for a grass cutting.
- Can you?
- Okay.
Thanks, Ta.
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL

So he's the one who took your book.
There.
The book is in that bag.
Let's follow him.
Don!
Wait!
I'll go out first!
Take care!
Oh dear.
Meri!
Hide!
He can't see me.
Right.
It's just you.
You must be hungry.
Come here.
Here.
He feeds the cat?
Please make it clean.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Here you go.
- I'll weed out everything.
- Yeah.
I'll take care of the trimmed leaves too.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Does Atta like helping people?
It can't be.
He must be pranking her.
There's his bag!
Let's go!
Hey! Don't rush it!
Follow me.
- Push!
- Slowly!
Gosh!
What's your name, pretty flower?
Nurman. You're taking notes
of the flowers?
Yeah, with their names and pictures too.
This one, the golden yellow
with a brown center.
That's a sunflower.
- Sun and flowers are two different things!
- Don, Nurman, focus!
Right.
Enough chatting.
Don is saying nonsense.
But it is called a sunflower.
Don!
"Sunflower."
Nurman! We need to get my
My book
Who's there?
Meri! Where's Don?
Mae!
Come on, Don!
I can't climb!
Gosh!
Nurman! Help him out!
Hey, who's there?
I saw on TV
a fantastic athlete
helping his teammate jump like this!
Fantastic?
You mean gymnastics!
Just trust me!
Hey!
Gosh!
Okay, whatever.
Fantastic. Let's go.
Ouch!
Jumbo?
Run!
Get back here!
- Oh no! I'll go this way!
- Hey!
Get back here!
Give me the book!
Jumbo!
- Run!
- Run away!
Run, everyone!
- Jumbo!
- Run!
- Get over here!
- Run!
- Stop running!
- Run!
Don! Quickly!
- Mae, come on!
- Hurry!
Jumbo!
Gosh!
Guys, will you be watching
the talent show tomorrow?
Guys!
Jumbo!
What's going on?
I'm going to perform my story
at the Seruni Village Festival!
You'll watch, right?
You still haven't learned
your lesson, Jumbo.
I told you, you'll never win!
You still insisted.
We've had enough of your story anyway.
You even suck at baseball. Let's go.
I'm hungry.
No!
I don't want to be a spectacle!
Meri.
Only you can make my performance special.
Come on.
You promised that if I get the book,
you'll help me find my parents.
I know.
But help me one more time.
Just until the performance is over.
After that, I'll help you!
Okay?
Meri.
Promise?
This is the last time.
Yeah!
Promise?
Yeah, I promise.
Okay.
Meri will help us with our performance!
But wait.
To avoid suspicion,
Meri should dress up like us.
Yes!
Meri. Try this on.
Meri!
Now this is awesome!
You'll fit right in as our fourth member.
Right?
So, any progress?
My patience is wearing thin.
Why is it taking so long?
You've never dismantled a grave
that took this long.
Listen, I'll give you two days.
If it's not done by then, the deal's off.
Got it? Two days.
SOULS DIMENSION
LETTER BOX
- Grandma.
- Yes?
Can you tell me
how my parents made this book?
Back then, your parents
worked on this book for days,
late into the night.
I got it, okay!
How about
A little knight.
A little knight.
He will live on
- On?
- A world of bubbles.
A bubble world?
Don loves playing with soap bubbles
in the bath, doesn't he?
Here. What do you think?
It looks like him.
Yeah.
I'm worried Don will feel lonely
when we travel to meet the publishers.
He has this book to keep him company.
What if the knight in this story
has parents who must leave?
- Interesting.
- Right?
- Let's give him a friend.
- Yeah!
- To keep him company.
- Okay.
What do you think?
The waves look lovely.
Right? Just like you.
Why don't you read him the story tonight?
I'm sure he'd love it.
Great idea.
Your parents
may not be with us anymore.
But this book
will always keep you company.
So don't you worry.
You've got me and this book.
You will always have friends.
I have to give the best performance.
I want to make my parents proud.
Amen.
PART 3: FESTIVAL NIGHT AND MEMORIES
Listen up!
THINGS TO MAKE OUR PERFORMANCE GREAT:
VOCALS, DECORATIONS, COSTUMES.
I have listed what we need to do
to make our performance great!
Stay disciplined!
Follow Maesaroh's instructions!
Got it?
- Aye!
- Yes!
Let's begin with the most important one.
Vocal!
For our decorations and costumes,
we need paint, cardboard, and fabric!
Two thousand?
What's this piggy bank for
if no one's using it?
Where can we get money?
I know!
We should join
one of the festival's games!
SERUNI VILLAGE FESTIVAL
Pick up the coins with your mouth,
not your hands.
And the winner is
Nurman. With 11,000.
We won!
Don! Nurman!
Go, Nurman! Don!
- Come on!
- You can do it!
Come on!
Another fail.
Good luck falling down!
Just give up, Don!
He keeps falling down.
We won!
Yeah!
We did it!
FOREVER IN YOUR VEINS
Being friends with Nurman and Mae
seems like a lot of fun.
Nurman lives with his grandpa.
He never met his mom.
His dad passed away
due to an illness.
Now he takes care of his grandpa's goats.
As for Mae,
before living with her current mom,
she was in an orphanage.
Sometimes, I feel like
my mom and dad sent me those two
to me from heaven.
I believe that.
From the moment I saw you guys,
I felt safe.
I can also recognize your scent.
Scent?
You smell like jasmine tea,
just like what I used to drink.
Smells good.
You really cherish this book, don't you?
This is the last thing I remember
from my mom and dad.
After reading this,
they rushed to the train station
the next day in a car.
They almost missed the train.
Grandma said it was raining heavily
that morning.
The road was slippery.
Look.
This knight is exactly like me.
His parents left him on an island.
When I got separated from my mom and dad,
they gave me this.
But if the necklace wilts,
I can't go home with them.
And then what will happen?
I'll just vanish.
Vanish?
Meri.
I promise,
you'll be able to go home.
Trust me.
Trust the Bubble Knight.
How big is Bubble Island?
As big as
Jumbo.
Here comes our next participant!
Jumbo Group!
It's starting. Jumbo Group.
Let's see.
Once upon a time,
there was a little knight
who lived with his parents.
They lived on a huge island.
Every day, on the island,
the little knight had a lot of fun
playing with his parents.
But one day,
a dark cloud appeared in the distance.
The cloud
poured out flashes of lightning!
"We have to go.
We have to calm the clouds."
In his solitude,
the little knight consoled himself
with a song.
If one day
The storm comes
And the wind shakes you
Let it pass
Because life wants you
To be stronger
When that time comes
But we're not by your side
I want you to hear
My singing voice
I'm sure with each passing day
You will learn to be friends with grief
Do not be afraid
To express your sadness
My child
Remember that no effort
Will ever be in vain
Don't you worry about this harsh world
Finally, there will be no end
To my prayers for you
Live your fullest life
With a smile in your heart
-I pray
-I pray
That you always
Always
-Live happily
-Happily
Even when
Life doesn't go well
This song is more than just a melody
I want you to listen closely
With your heart, not your ears
Remember
This song is more than just
Words
Later in life
You will find meaning
A gesture
Of my sincere love
A gesture
Of my sincere love
Amazing, Jumbo!
- That was great!
- Jumbo!
Now that's cool!
Jumbo!
It is time to announce the winner
of tonight's performance!
Who will be the winner?
Jumbo!
CHAMPION
SERUNI VILLAGE PERFORMANCE
As the winner,
Jumbo Group will perform once again
at the conclusion of
Seruni Village Festival tomorrow night!
- A round of applause!
- Perform again?
We won!
Thank you, everyone!
Meri!
What's wrong?
- Amazing! Jumbo!
- Thank you!
I'm okay, Mae.
How was that possible?
Jumbo!
- Jumbo Gang!
- Jumbo Gang!
Meri!
You sang so well!
- Awesome!
- Yeah! That's right.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
When are we going to look
for my parents, Don?
Tomorrow?
You heard them, right?
We'll perform again on the final night!
Right?
Yeah and?
Let's look for the radio
after the final night?
That's not what you promised, Don.
I know.
But Jumbo's performance needs you.
You saw it, didn't you?
Everyone loved my performance!
I told you I'd only appear once!
Yeah, but if you go home now,
what about my performance?
You promised!
I'm still keeping my promise.
It's just on hold.
Don! I don't have much time!
- Meri!
- Meri.
- Come down, please!
- Come down, please!
Fine!
I'll look for them myself
if you won't help me!
I can't believe you!
Meri!
Where are you going?
Thank you for the medicine, Village Chief.
Acil!
- Bro
- Hey!
- Sir.
- Hello, Atta.
Let me tell you something!
Jumbo won the stage performance!
- Really? That's great.
- But
That's not the point! He cheated!
He got help from
From a ghost.
What are you talking about?
I'm serious!
I saw the ghost myself!
It was a girl with a glowing body.
I saw her hiding in an old warehouse.
Old warehouse?
That's right. That's Jumbo's base!
Near the forest?
Stop speaking nonsense.
Listen, our village is safe.
As long as I'm around,
no ghosts will disturb the residents.
Pardon my little brother, sir.
He and his fantasies, you know.
He's a kid, after all.
By the way, Acil.
- Yes, sir?
- I almost forgot.
I came here to offer you a job.
Yes.
But it's still up to you,
if you're up for it.
Of course I'm up for it, sir.
That's good to hear.
You can take your little brother too.
He can ride in the car with us.
Okay, sir.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Yes, sir!
Take care!
AA SERVICE
- Ida Setiawati.
- Yes?
Will you marry me?
- Yes.
- Until death do us part.
Until death do us part.
Forever.
Honey, careful!
I'll pinch you!
Hey, don't move too much!
Ida! Hey! Da!
Sir, you are not allowed to pass through.
That's my wife's grave, sir!
This area is off-limits.
What are you going to do
with my wife's grave?
Sir! Ida!
I saw the ghost myself!
It was a girl with a glowing body!
PERFORM ON THE FINAL NIGHT!
Are you ready?
Yes.
All right. Nice.
What am I missing?
Meri.
I'd be upset too if I were her.
She helped us, Don.
But we don't help her?
But we have another performance, Mae!
More people will watch it.
Yeah, but
If Meri is still upset,
can we even perform at all?
Yeah.
You should apologize, Don.
Right.
I know!
- Let's go, Mae!
- Okay.
Sorry, sir. I don't understand.
What are we doing here?
Stop asking questions.
Hold this.
Come out, little ghost.
Little ghost?
That sound.
That's
Meri.
Who are they?
- Are those
- Her parents?
Mom, Dad!
Meri.
- Come here.
- Dad?
Meri! Get away from them!
They're not your parents!
I don't believe you!
Meri, I'm sorry!
- Meri.
- Meri.
- Meri.
- Meri!
Let me go!
- Let's help her!
- Yeah!
Let her go!
- Let Meri go!
- Acil! Help me!
- Let her go!
- Don!
Right.
- Go away!
- Let her go!
- Atta!
- Jumbo!
No!
Don!
Hang on, Nurman, Mae!
Atta!
Give it to me!
No!
I won't let you perform!
This book
is the only thing I have!
Meri!
BUBBLE ISLAND
My book!
My book!
Please. Please stay intact.
Please stay intact.
Acil, get up.
Come with me to the graveyard.
Sorry, sir. I don't want to.
I'm taking my little brother home!
Home?
Acil!
Did you hear that?
- Acil!
- Atta!
Go home!
- No!
- I'll go home after you.
- Acil!
- You go on ahead.
- Go!
- No.
Where are you taking my brother?
Acil!
Acil!
Acil!
Acil.
It's all because of you, Atta!
Meri got taken away!
And what about my performance?
Don!
You're still thinking
about the performance?
Meri is in danger!
We should've helped Meri
find her parents from the start!
Things wouldn't have turned out this way!
You guys are blaming me?
It's all his fault!
Acil, where are you going?
Acil
Atta.
Was the man with the village chief
your brother?
My brother didn't know
anything about this!
The village chief offered him a job.
I don't believe him! He's lying!
Don, hear him out!
We don't know his side of the story!
What story?
He must've told the village chief
about Meri.
So she couldn't help us
with the performance.
His brother took Meri too.
He is a bad guy!
No! My brother didn't do anything wrong!
- He's kind.
- Jeez.
- Wait!
- See?
- He ran away!
- Atta!
Don.
- Don
- You guys don't care about me!
Don!
Nurman!
I didn't mean to.
Why would Mae and I go through all this
if we didn't care about you?
Mae.
Let's go help Meri.
Yeah, Man.
You only want to be listened to,
but you never try to listen to others.
Mae.
AA SERVICE
Don't worry.
My brother will be okay.
He'll come home.
Is this
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL
What's wrong, dear?
I made a lot of people sad.
Do you know
what I do when I'm sad?
I don't know.
I listen to your stories.
For example,
"The lunch was delicious, Grandma!"
"I'm going to perform, Grandma!"
Hearing your stories makes me happy.
For every sad role
There is a cheerful role.
And you cheer me up.
And for every storyteller,
there must also be a listener.
How do I fix my story?
If you want to be a good storyteller,
you must be a good listener.
A story can't be a story
if no one listens.
Isn't that right?
Nurman?
Nurman, Mae
Don.
Can I talk to you?
Ouch!
What do you want?
I'll hear you out.
Was that book
made by your parents?
I'm sorry.
I was envious of you.
You have caring friends,
an amazing performance
I wish I could have all that.
But all I have
is my brother.
I'm sorry, Don.
ATTA
MY BROTHER, ACIL
I'm sorry too.
I called your brother a bad guy.
I just want my brother to come home.
I want him to recover.
ANIMAL WORLD
PLANTS WORLD
NURMAN'S WORLD
BEST FRIEND
Grandma said,
in every story, there are many roles.
This story needs you to play a role.
Help me rescue Meri and your brother.
Okay?
Be a new knight.
What do you say?
Yeah!
Where is she?
Nurman! Mae!
I know where Meri is!
Let's go!
Nurman.
If you know where she is,
you should have gone on your own.
You can go without us.
Nurman, Mae.
I'm sorry.
I haven't been a good friend.
These past few days,
all I've thought about is the performance.
To the point that
I forgot about my friends
who care deeply about me.
Nurman, Mae.
We have to help Meri.
I could never have done
anything by myself.
I reached this far
thanks to you, Nurman,
and Mae.
I'm sorry, Man.
I'm sorry, Mae.
No more pushing me to the ground, okay?
Nurman.
It's hard to wash off the dirt.
Are we all friends now?
Yeah.
I think I know where my brother
and Meri were taken.
This map belongs to the village chief.
Look at these dots.
They're evenly spaced.
- The overpass foundations!
- The overpass foundations!
Right.
I think they were taken here.
We need to get there quickly!
I'm sure Meri's family's grave
is over there!
The one who wrecked the grave back then
must have been the Village Chief.
He brought the radio!
Let's take him down
WOLF
with a performance.
There are four of us
and we have a lot of things to carry.
How can we get there quickly?
Ta-da!
What is that, Man?
A bike?
So cool!
Are you sure it's safe?
Slow down!
This is slow!
Mae! Atta! This is so much fun!
Meri!
We're coming for you!
PART 4: THE FOURTH KNIGHJUMBO GROUP'S PERFORMANCE
- Jumbo Group isn't here yet?
- Not yet.
The show is about to begin!
This is it.
Based on the map, it's here.
There! Look over there!
We should split up.
We wait for Atta and Mae's signal.
- Okay.
- Okay.
That's the signal. Let's go.
Ready!
You never stop bugging me, do you?
Let me tell you something.
- Meri!
- Meri!
If you don't stop,
I will make this ghost disappear forever!
Is that what you want?
- Don, what are you doing?
- Oh, man.
What is this?
What's that?
"Sap, sap, sap!"
Run, Don!
You little brat!
You're amazing, Don!
- Run!
- That was
Which button was it?
- Don!
- Sir!
What should I press?
- Come here!
- Gosh!
Never mind, sir!
WARNING: AUTHORIZED VEHICLES
MAY ENTER AND EXIT FREQUENTLY
Acil!
Atta!
- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
What are you doing here?
I told you to go home.
My friends and I made a plan.
But we need your help.
Me? For what?
That's enough.
Let's talk nicely.
Okay?
- I just need to know
- How do I do this?
What do you want.
Don!
My radio!
Give it back!
I'm tired.
Gosh!
Meri!
I did it!
Meri.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
I promised you.
Don! The radio!
My radio is back!
It's over for you!
- Oh, no.
- Now,
you will become
A spinach?
The goats!
Awesome!
Hey! Over here, hurry!
- Quickly, Don!
- Nurman!
Come on!
- Step on it, Don!
- Let's go!
Let's go!
- Faster, Don!
- Yeah!
Get back here!
Faster, Don!
Come on! Work!
Dad?
Mom?
Don, look!
Look at what?
Don!
Ouch!
- Ouch!
- Ouch!
Ouch!
Don, did you see them?
Meri's parents.
They're also wearing jasmine necklaces.
Come here!
Stop running.
Get up!
Just a bit more.
We're almost there.
Guys!
- What?
- What is it, Don?
- Let's split up.
- How?
Nurman and I
will take care of Meri's parents.
Mae! Do you have my book?
Yeah.
Here, Atta.
Why are you giving it to me?
Listen up.
Go!
Jumbo Gang!
Assemble!
Split up!
Come here!
Tear it off, Atta!
Meri!
It's working!
What's happening?
SODA TEA
Don!
From all the graves I've ever destroyed,
spirits I've captured,
only you've been a real pain!
Because of you,
my plans are all messed up!
Now, you're going into this radio,
and open your tomb
for me!
Don!
Don!
Don!
Here!
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
This book
will always keep you company.
Nurman!
Go!
FOR DON,
FROM MOM AND DAD
Dad?
- Mom!
- Meri.
- Meri!
- My dear!
Dad, Mom
My dear.
Don.
Your book
I'm okay.
It's just a book.
I have the rest in here.
You brats!
Did you really think
you brats could stop me?
Why did you violate
Meri's family's graves?
Are you trying to sell the land?
That's terrible!
That's unfair!
Fair?
You're just a kid!
What do you know about what's fair?
My wife's grave was also violated.
No one helped me.
No one listened to me!
No one was fair to me!
Since then, I understood.
The only true form of fairness
is if everyone suffers the same!
If my wife's soul
couldn't be left in peace,
then nobody can!
What will I do with the land?
That's my business!
If I can't sell this land,
no problem.
There are plenty of other graves
and shops that I can evict.
I'll sell them one by one!
It doesn't matter if it's not an overpass.
I'll sell it for anything else!
Gosh.
Yeah.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for your patience in the dark.
Did you hear
- what the Village Chief said?
- No.
No, that was
You've heard everything, right?
It was all an act.
Right, Don?
Come on, do your part, like we practiced.
Come on, Don!
Take him away.
Hey!
- I'm the Village Chief! I can explain!
- Way to go, Jumbo!
Don.
That was a great performance.
Awesome!
Nice!
We're so proud of you! Well done, Jumbo!
Nice!
Don.
You still have a promise to fulfill.
Right.
Don.
You know the frequency, right?
Yeah.
Thank you, my friends.
You were there for me
when I was all alone.
Thank you, Meri.
Thanks to you,
we can see what others can't.
And you taught us to listen.
Meri.
Goodbye.
Go in peace.
Let's go, Meri.
Let's go home.
Come, darling.
- Bye, Meri!
- Bye, Meri!
- Until next time!
- See you!
I will always remember you, Meri.
Forever.
PART 5: ONE YEAR LATER
You can't escape, Witch!
The Witch and the Three Magical Goats!
Magical goats?
Nurman made the story.
What is your role, Don?
I'm not in the play.
I'm just helping out.
I'm glad that this time,
you took on the role
of helping your friends.
When I was little,
my friends and I
used to help each other.
When I was a kid,
I had a best friend.
Here, look.
Her name was Maria.
I used to call her
Meri.
Meri.
Later in life
You will find meaning
A gesture
Of my sincere love
Don?
Mom?
Yes, sweetie.
My little knight has grown so big.
Dad!
How are you?
We're doing all right.
It's all thanks to your prayers.
I promise
I'll pray even more for you.
I promise.
I'm sorry.
If I had listened to my friends back then
The radio wouldn't have broken.
I could have seen you now.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
We are always here.
We're so proud of you.
You've grown into a great young man.
You've improved the story
that we made for you.
You be good to your grandma.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And be good to your friends too.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, Mom.
We have to go now.
Okay.
Don't go too far.
Don't leave me.
No, sweetie.
Never, sweetie.
Bye, Dad.
Bye, Mom.
Guys!
Let's play baseball!
Let's play!
Are you coming?
Come on!
Wait for me!
Jumbo is coming!
