Sorop (2024) Movie Script

Come and stop by!
Have a drink first.
Thank you.
But I want to deliver these first.
Peace be upon you.
Mr. Khair?
It's me, Karyo.
I have a delivery for you.
Mr. Khair?
Sir?
Mr. Khair?

Mr. Khair?
It's me, Karyo.
I've brought you something.
Sir?
I'm coming in, sir.
Mr. Khair?
Please come in.
When will this be finished, Hanif?
Don't take too long, okay?
I need it for a wedding reception.
Well, two weeks.
I have a lot more to make.
Wait, please.
Here.
Back from college, Isti?
Yes.
Thank you.
Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you too.
- Why are you home so late, Is?
- I had a group assignment.
As usual, no one gives in to anyone.
The discussion took a long time.
You have a lot to make, huh?
Praise be to God.
Go take a shower. You smell.
I'll warm up dinner.
Okay.
Hanif.
I'm joining a student debate
competition next week.
Nice.
As it happens,
the event is in Jakarta.
- Really?
- Yes!
You're amazing!
- You'll finally see Jakarta firsthand.
- Yes.
Would you like souvenirs?
What souvenirs?
Do you even have money?
I'm glad you're doing well at university.
At least one of us
will become a university graduate.
In one more year,
your sister will graduate from university.
Please pour it into a bowl.
Is this Hanif or Isti?
This is Hanif.
Who is this?
This is Aunt Saidah.
Aunt Saidah?
How are you, Auntie?
- All good?
- Praise be to God.
I'm good.
Praise be to God.
But
I have bad news.
What bad news, Auntie?
Uncle Khair is dying.
He keeps calling your name
and also Isti's.
You two should come here, okay?
Nif?
Hanif?
Come home, okay?
Pity your poor uncle.
I'll wait for you here.
How was it?
Hanif
Isti
Hanif
Isti
Kids, go home!
Hurry, Hanif! Go fast!
Hurry, Hanif! Go fast!
Go fast! The sun will set soon.
Mom could scold us!
It's easy for you to just talk.
Do you think it's easy
to ride with you in the back?
I've told you many times
to come home before sunset.
But you still ignore my words.
Sorry, Mom.
You know,
during twilight to dusk,
the spirits awaken.
You want to be taken by spirits?
Okay, then go take a shower.
Don't do it again.
- Juna!
- Juna!
What if Juna turns on by itself
while you're asleep
and climbs onto your bed?
Hanif!
Mom?
Hanif, let's play.
During twilight to dusk,
the spirits awaken.
During twilight to dusk,
the spirits awaken.
During twilight to dusk,
the spirits awaken.
Mom, what's wrong?
During twilight to dusk,
the spirits awaken.
Sorop!
- Uncle.
- Yes.
- How are you, Uncle?
- Good.
Come on. They're waiting for us. Hurry up.
We have to hurry.
How is Uncle Khair doing?
Come on in.
Come on.
Excuse me.
Come here.
Put your bags here first, okay?
Your uncle is in his room.
He's waiting for you there.
Come on.
Come on in.
Uncle.
It's us, Hanif and Isti.
Your body is ice-cold.
I have a bad feeling.
Let's just go out.
Isti! Just a moment.
I don't want to be here...
Sinom.
Uncle.
Before I die,
help me, Sinom.
I can no longer take it.
Help you with what, Uncle?
Let me die, Sinom.
Forgive me, Sinom.
Forgive me.
Uncle?
Forgive what, Uncle?
Uncle?
Uncle!
Uncle?
Uncle!
Oh God!
Uncle
Uncle!
I haven't seen you in ten years.
You're all grown up now.
Auntie.
Why haven't I seen Aunt Sabah?
Where is she?
Not long after you had left this house,
Aunt Sabah also left your uncle.
And no one knew.
And since she had left,
his condition got worse.
What's wrong, Auntie?
Actually,
your uncle tried
to kill himself many times.
But every time he was declared dead,
he came back to life.
He told me
to ask you to come here.
He said you coming here
would set him free
and he'd leave in peace.
Well then, go to sleep.
Your uncle and I are gonna
stay here tonight.
To keep you company.
Until your Uncle Khair's burial tomorrow.
Okay?
Okay then, come on.
Nothing has changed, Is.
Everything is just how we left it.
Why
did Uncle kill himself?
Maybe because Aunt Sabah left him.
Do you think
he is really dead?
Auntie said
that Uncle was waiting for us to come.
That means Uncle is at peace now.
What if he isn't dead yet?
Like what Auntie told us.
I don't want to stay here long.
Okay.
The day after tomorrow,
after the funeral, we'll go home.
Okay?
Now, go to sleep.
I'm already sleepy.
Sinom
Hanif?
Hanif?
Hanif?
Hanif?
Hanif?
Where are you, Hanif?
Hanif?
Hanif
Hanif!
Hanif?
Hanif?
What's wrong, Is?
Are you inside?
Yes.
Sinom
- What's wrong, Is?
- Hanif
When I left our room,
I saw Uncle's room open.
Don't talk nonsense.
I'm serious, sis!
You're delirious, aren't you?
I swear.
The door was open earlier.
Can a dead person open the door?
Come on, let's go back to sleep.
Come on.
HEARSE
Hanif
Is? Are you okay?
What's wrong, Is?
Hey!
- Is? Auntie!
- Oh, God!
- What's wrong with you?
- Handkerchief?
Here.
Just rest, okay?
No need to go to the grave.
Okay. Keep your sister company, okay?
You're exhausted.
Rest, okay?
Hanif.
We'll go back to Surabaya tomorrow?
Yes.
We'll go back tomorrow.
Get some rest.
I made tea for you if you're thirsty.
Mom!
Hanif.
What are you sewing, Mom?
I'm sewing a dress for your sister.
It's her birthday soon.
Come here. I want see how it measures up.
Pretty, right?
Do you want me to teach you how to sew?
I don't like sewing.
Life is not a matter of likes or dislikes.
There's no harm in learning.
It's gonna to come in handy someday.
Trust me.
Hanif
Isti
Mom?
Mom!
Isti
Mom!
Hanif!
Mom!
Mom
Dad!
Rokiah!
Oh, God
Come here.
Rokiah!
Nif?
Auntie. You're home already?
Why did you buy a lot of food?
For your stay here.
You're not in a rush to leave, are you?
At least wait until the seventh day.
I plan to do a prayer for your uncle.
Well, eat the snack.
You and Isti loved it most
when you were little.
Eat it.
Auntie.
What actually happened with Aunt Sabah?
Why did she leave Uncle?
After you left,
Aunt Sabah fell ill,
just like what happened to your mother.
Sabah.
Sabah.
Sabah.
Eat first.
So you get well soon.
Saidah.
Saidah.
I'm thirsty.
Sabah?
Want to drink.
Sabah.
Don't be scared.
Sabah!
Sabah!
Sabah!
Sabah!
I told you not to enter
your big sister's room!
Khair
I feel bad for her.
- Sabah is sick...
- Go away! Go!
Since then,
I never came to this house again.
Not long after that,
your uncle informed me
that she had left him.
What's wrong with this family, Auntie?
Mom
Dad
Aunt Sabah
And now Uncle Khair.
Everyone suffered the same fate.
Don't think about it.
The important thing is that
you and Isti are fine now.
Okay?
I gotta go.
- Peace be upon you.
- Peace be upon you too.
Hanif.
Where is she going?
She's not staying here with us?
Are you a child that needs looking after?
This is our home after all.
And I'm here.
Sinom
What are you doing, Is?
Hanif.
What if Uncle isn't dead yet?
What are you talking about, Is?
Don't talk like that. I don't like it.
What are you doing, Is?
Packing.
We're going home tomorrow.
Auntie asked us to stay
until the seventh-day ceremony.
Hanif.
You promised me.
Yes.
But I feel bad for Auntie.
After the seventh-day ceremony,
we're going home.
I promise. Okay?
Let's eat.
Let's eat, Is.
Is?
Is
Did you move this?
Let's eat.
Is?
Stop sulking, please.
Sinom
Let me cook, Hanif.
Seriously?
Are you not angry with me anymore?
Okay then.
Don't make it too salty, okay?
Hanif.
Is?
Is!
Hanif?
Sinom
Sinom
Isti, we're going home now!
Is?
Is! Where are you?
Is?
I miss you, Sinom.
Why didn't you come home
to visit your uncle?
Sinom,
come here.
Come here, kid.
Is?
Isti!
Open the door, Is!
Is?
Isti!
Uncle!
Please let Isti out, Uncle.
Please open the door, Uncle.
Uncle
Isti!
Isti, are you okay?
Isti.
Let's go home now, okay?
Come on.
Is, come on.
Is, wake up.
Is, wake up!
Is
Is, wake up.
Let's go home, okay?

Forty days, Hanif.

What did you say, Is?
Forty days, Hanif.
Forty days, Hanif!
Is

- Hey, listen to me.
- Is, wake up!
- Forty days!
Forty days, I will keep coming!
Hey.
Hanif!
Hanif!
Are you okay?
Hanif!
Hanif!
Last night, Uncle said
he will keep coming to us for 40 days.
We must leave if we want to survive.
Is, don't you realize?
Every time we want to leave,
something strange happens.
You suddenly fell ill at his funeral.
And what happened last night
What should we do then?
Wait for our death in this house?
Why did he ask us to come back here?
Or maybe this was all planned, Is.
Hanif
Hanif
What are you looking for?
Let's check his belongings.
Come on, Is.
Hanif.
A book.
What book is that?
SELL YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL
SENGGARTURIH - BANAROGOH
OMINOUS OMENS
SOROP FASIs.
"I decided to do the Sorop Fast
to make the people in this photo
feel pain until death."
"If you want to obliterate someone
and get what you want,
you must do the Sorop Fast."
"Not eating
and not drinking,
except eating grave soil."
"Hence, the spirits of those
whose grave soil you devour
will help you."
"For 40 days, the person you hate
will be tortured
and then obliterated."
"But if you don't complete
your Sorop Fast,
then the spirits of those
whose grave soil you devour
will turn to torment you
until you return into
the soil you devour."
Does that mean
that Uncle did the Sorop Fast?
To kill our family?
And he was tortured because
he couldn't finish the whole thing.
That's why he always comes back.
He wants us to die
so that the task is completed
and he can go in peace.
Is
Hanif?
- Who are you calling?
- We have to tell Auntie.
Hello, Auntie.
- Hello? Auntie, this is Hanif.
- Hello?
- Auntie, can you hear me?
- Hello?
Hanif, I can't hear
Auntie, can you come here now?
- This is important!
- What's wrong?
- Hanif?
- Hello?
Hello? Hanif?
I will come, Sinom.
I will come, Sinom.
I don't want to be here!
- Hanif!
- Isti!
Help!
- Isti!
- Help!
- Help!
- Is!
- Help!
- Is!
Help!
Is?
Hanif
Hanif.
Don't be afraid, Sinom.
I came to help you.
Aunt Sabah
Is.
What happened?
Did you bring me in?
Ouch.
Aunt Sabah?
Are you sure it was Aunt Sabah?
Yes, Is.
She said she would help us.
That's Aunt Sabah, Is.
Come on.
Auntie.
Auntie?
Auntie?
Auntie?
Is?
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Is!
Is?
Is
I'm sorry, Is.
I should have listened to you
from the start.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
I failed to keep you safe, Is.
You can't talk like that.
You've been very good to me.
You've sacrificed a lot.
You earn a living
so I can go to university.
So I can become a graduate.
I'll be sad
If I can't make our dreams come true.
No.
We will get out of this house, Is.
We'll be safe.
Got it?
I have to see you
become a graduate.
Got it?
I'm scared.
Sinom
Sinom
Sinom!
I'm coming home, Sinom.
Forty days, Hanif.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Oh, dear.
Wait.
Where are you going?
I'm going to see Hanif and Isti.
I have a bad feeling.
I tried calling them
but couldn't get through.
"For 40 days, the person you hate
will be tortured and then obliterated."
What did our family do wrong?
What did we do wrong
that made Uncle do this?
Uncle definitely wanted something, Is.
Was it this house
that made Uncle do the Sorop Fast?
This house was inherited by Dad.
You remember, right?
Mom and Dad wanted to sell it
so we could move to Jakarta.
Sabah.
Just got home?
Why did you go out at night?
Come here. Let's have dinner together.
I've bought food.
I heard your husband's business
went bankrupt.
You should just eat at home.
You bought food from outside instead.
Hey, don't talk like that.
Dad, is it true?
Mom said we're moving to Jakarta?
Of course, Hanif.
Have I ever lied?
Let me tell you.
There are many good schools in Jakarta.
And for this most handsome father,
I believe there are lots of jobs there
that are much better than here.
Right, honey?
Uncle!
If you want to take this house,
take it, Uncle!
No need to do any of this!
In God's name,
we are willing, Uncle! Take it!
We don't need all this!
If you
want to take our lives
Take it, Uncle! Take it!
But just my life,
not Isti's.
Let Isti go.
Just take my life, Uncle.
Go ahead, now.
No
I won't go without you.
I can't do that.
I can't
I don't
Is, help me.
You lift that side. Quick.
- Hanif.
- Is.
Is
Lift.
Sinom
Sinom
What's that, Hanif?
Hanif?
Hanif.
Isn't this Aunt Sabah's necklace?
Who did we see yesterday, Hanif?
Is.
Hanif.
Aunt Saidah. That's Aunt Saidah!
- Auntie!
- Auntie!
Auntie.
Why didn't we see you come in?
I came in through the back door.
I didn't want to bother you.
Auntie.
Uncle lied.
Aunt Sabah didn't leave.
She was buried under Uncle's bed.
Uncle did the Sorop Fast
to finish us all off.
What are you talking about, kid?
Uncle,
he killed Dad,
Mom and Aunt Sabah
to take control of this house.
You have to see something.
You must see this.
The more humans know,
the more they understand
the meaning of death.
What's that?
Do you remember what your father
left behind when he died?
Burn that thing.
- What thing, Auntie?
- Burn it.
Burn that thing!
Burn that thing!
Sinom!
I'm coming home, Sinom.
Hanif
I can't move.
The more humans know,
the more they understand
the meaning of death.
Come.
Sinom!
Do not go!
I miss you!
Hanif? Isti?
What's wrong with you?
Who are you?
It's Auntie, kid.
It's Aunt Saidah.
Don't lie.
Oh, God.
What has happened to you?
I tried to call you,
but I couldn't reach you.
I had a bad feeling.
That's why I rushed here.
Kids, come on. Come here.
Come here.
It's Auntie, kids.
Hanif. Isti.
It's Auntie, kids.
Auntie
Oh, God.
Help us, Auntie.
How did it come to this?
What happened to you, Khair?
I remember the police handed this to me
when your father died.
When we saw a figure that resembled you,
she mentioned an object left by Dad.
Is this it?
"Darkness cannot be fought with light."
"Darkness must be destroyed
with what is darker."
What does it mean, Auntie?
How could Uncle Khair do this to us?
Do you remember
the night before you left this house?
Hanif. Isti. I'm going home, okay?
I've cooked you some food.
Eat it, okay?
You caused all this!
You're making me suffer!
You want me to die?
Sabah!
- Don't be scared.
- Auntie.
Go on.
If your uncle did the Sorop Fast,
why would he ask me to take you
away from the house?
- Is?
- Oh, God.
- Is?
- Is, are you okay?
Get some rest, okay?
Hanif, please make some hot tea
for your sister.
The more humans know,
the more they understand
the meaning of death.
The more humans know,
the more they understand
the meaning of death.
Is?
The more humans know,
the more they understand
the meaning of death.
What did you say, kid?
Isti?
I'm coming home.

Sinom
Where are you going, Sinom?
Sinom
Sinom!
I've waited so long
for you two to come.
It was you
who did the Sorop Fast?
Why, Auntie?!
Your mother often disparaged me
because I couldn't have children.
And she made your father
throw us out of this house.
That is why you must die!
Sinom!
Sorop!
Sorop!
Sorop!
Sorop!

Where's Isti, Auntie?
- Nif
- Is?
Nif. Hold this.
I'm sure
your dad had this thing
to end all this.
And the writing on the cloth is the spell
that must be recited.
"Darkness cannot be fought with light."
"Darkness must be destroyed
with what is darker."
Hanif!
Oh, God.

Don't make a sound, okay?
Don't Don't leave me.
I will never leave you, Is.
I don't want to die here.
Listen to me.
You won't die here, Is.
I want to see you become a graduate. Okay?
Sinom
Hide over there.
Your uncle betrayed me by saving you guys.
And because of his action,
I'm still tortured even after I died.
Now it's time for me
to complete my Sorop Fast
so I can stop all this torment.
It's time for you
to go back to hell!
"Darkness cannot be fought with light."
"Darkness must be destroyed
with what is darker."
"Darkness cannot be fought with light."
"Darkness must be destroyed
with what is darker."
Hanif! Isti!
Auntie!
Oh, God.
Hanif.
Isti.
Are you ready, Is?
Auntie is about to arrive
and take us to the station.
Is?
I'm ready.
Sorry to bother you.
Who are you looking for, ma'am?
Can we talk for a moment?
It's important.
Is there anything we can help you with?
I came here
to take an item of mine.
A book with a red cover.
You can't leave
until the 40th day.
