White Song

The most famous of Indonesian ghosts, the Kuntil Anak, tells the story of Raesita, the batik artist, whose heavy grief after the death of her husband draws the ghost to her. They seduce each other into a deadly dream world. Raesita's own desire for oblivion moulds perfectly to the Kuntil Anak's desire to save her from the pain of life. But it is Raesita's unborn child, and its desire to live, that the Kuntil Anak has not counted upon.
