Johan is a young man who lives with his Mama on their run-down, scarcely visited crocodile farm in West Java. He never asked for it, but his mother controls his every move. The farm is at the centre of their lives — the crocodiles keep them busy, and the work isolates them from the rest of the world. But the fraught balance of their day-to-day routine is turned upside down when a young woman enters Johan’s life.
