Merantau Warrior

In Minangkabau, West Sumatera, Yuda a
skilled practitioner of Silat Harimau
is in the final preparations to begin
his “Merantau,” a century’s old rites-
of-passage to be carried out by the
community’s young men that will see
him leave the comforts of his idyllic
farming village and make a name for
himself in the bustling city of
Jakarta. After a series of setbacks
leave Yuda homeless and uncertain
about his new future, a chance
encounter results in him defending the
orphaned Astri from becoming the
latest victim of a European human
trafficking ring led by the wildly
psychotic Ratger and his right-hand
man Lars. With Ratger injured in the
melee and seeking both his
“merchandise” and bloody retribution,
Yuda’s introduction to this bustling
city is a baptism of fire as he is
forced to go on the run with Astri and
her younger brother Adit. With escape
seemingly beyond their grasp, Yuda has
no choice but to face his attackers in
an adrenaline charged, jaw-dropping
finale.
