Silent Dance: Tarian Jiwa-jiwa yang Merdeka

(2026)

Overview

To make ends meet, Dewi (Kezia Starbe) works at a dance studio. Her talent is revealed when the instructor catches her practicing in secret after hours; she successfully executes a difficult move that the lead dancer, Meggy (Chelsea Starbe), had failed to master. Consequently, Dewi is chosen to replace Meggy in the upcoming Pesta Rakyat (People's Festival) performance. This decision infuriates Meggy, and the conflict between them intensifies when Dewi’s boyfriend cheats on her with Meggy. Meanwhile, Meggy’s father, Gurniwa (Aroel Swara), exploits the festival as a platform for his village head election campaign. Behind his candidacy lies a covert agenda shared with an investor: a plan to seize the traditional village land for the construction of luxury hotels and apartments, thereby threatening the dreams and efforts of local residents who are developing the area into a tourism village.
