[[WMG:The Movie is intended to be a Good Parts Only retelling of some tale from Malay mythology]]
A rather common form of drama in Indonesia and Malaysia is to put on plays that revolve around commonly known stories and legends. Since the storyteller can assume his audience knows the tale already, they can skip to the exciting/dramatic parts and let them fill in the rest with their minds. This explains why the movie has no plot and is just a collection of disjointed images. The writer is assuming that this is something we should know already. Sadly to foreign audiences that do know the story behind the movie, [[LostInTranslation it just comes across as disjointed random scenes.]]
