0.0Beneath a dying tree, a man digs a grave, awaiting another arrival. When a silent figure appears, he assumes they've come to bury someone else. But as the truth unfolds, he realises the grave is his own.

What begins as a simple encounter unfolds into something far more metaphysical: a conversation between two beings that exist beyond the realm of men. One bound by duty, the other corrupted by desire, both caught in a moment between life and eternity. Set in a desaturated rural landscape, Sakarat: Pohon Yang Sunyi reimagines the moment before death where silence, duty, and rebellion intertwine, blurring the boundaries between the mortal and the divine.
