Set in 1960s Indonesia, Siman is a quiet man who accidentally discovers a moon-landing shooting by a foreign crew, in a haunted and unpopulated area. Then, Siman goes through life in slow-motion imitating an astronaut in outer space, and being labeled as crazy. In Siman's village, a man in a semi-military uniform wanders around; he considers himself an important character of the nation's history as he struggles to fit in the contemporary world with this idea of the past. Around him, the times are changing. The dawn of modern technology fails to lead mankind toward a more dignified form of humanity. Instead, it only brings about new methods of human exploitation.
