The story is about life in 2 neighbouring villages: A
farming village, “Sinar Suria” & a fishing village, “Bayu
Kencana”.
The villagers live harmoniously among themselves. The
relationship between the two villages is also harmonious.
They organise and participate in many cultural activities
in their spare time.

A gathering of the two
villages |
A fight between two children
leads to the
involvement of their parents
and then the headmen |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The relationship between
the two villages is cold. They practise their own
versions of silat. |
The villagers from fishing
village play sepak raga. |
The villagers from the
farming village prefer to play the kompang |
An argument broke out when
sepak raga players complain that the kompang is played too
loud.
|
This is followed by fights
between the silat proponents of the two villages. The
headmen intervene. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Disaster strike the two
villages. Hurricane symbolise by the
waving blue flags.
|
The terrible waves destroy
their villages.
The people are carried
away and flattened by the waves. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
As they get up from the
disaster and pick up the pieces, they help each other
irregardless of which village they come from. In the face
of
severe calamity that comes upon the two villages, the
people become friends again as symbolise by warm hugs
between the headmen. |
