The Seen and Unseen

The Seen and Unseen follows the story of Tantri, who is faced with her brother Tantra's grave illness. As she grapples with loss, Tantri begins to slip into magical parallel worlds, using costumes, body paint, and dance to cope with her emotions. The film is steeped in Balinese philosophy, exploring the concepts of sekala (the seen) and niskala (the unseen).

With a runtime of 86 minutes, this drama offers a poignant look at how a young girl processes the inevitability of farewell. The narrative intertwines real-life struggles with dreamlike sequences, creating a unique viewing experience. Its focus on Indonesian culture and the balance between reality and illusion makes it a notable work in contemporary cinema.
