Director Statement

I feel very close to the various cultures and customs that were born in Bali. So close, I feel excitement in every ceremony is normal. However, after I searched, the various ceremonial activities that existed always met a cycle from being to nothing. Like when a newborn has a ceremony 3 months after birth until death comes withthe last ceremony. This film shows that when someone dies, there are so many series of ceremonies with so many people helping. Not to feel brave, but indeed things related to customs and culture will not be separated for Balinese people even until death awaits.
