Samsara
Watch TrailerDarta, a man from crushing poverty, faces the scorn of his beloved's wealthy parents. Desperation drives him to strike a bargain with the mystical Monkey King, performing a dark ritual to seize the fortune he craves. The cost, however, is catastrophic—he inadvertently curses his own wife and child to a lifetime of suffering. Rooted in Indonesian mysticism, this tale unfolds as a universal story of the insatiable hunger to become something one is not, and the fatal lines one will cross in pursuit of a gilded illusion.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Samsara is a hypnotic plunge into mystic realism, where every visual composition and sonic layer builds a sense of inescapable karmic weight. The film expertly walks the line between family tragedy and ancient parable, offering no easy moral resolutions.
What lingers after the screen fades is a profound unease about the fragments of self we trade for ascent, and how the wealth we seek often blinds us to the treasures we already hold. — MovieFinder Editorial

The haze of ancient ritual, oppressive luxury, and the long shadow of a familial curse.
