Reak is a spiritual performance art in which participants enter a trance and become possessed by the spirits of their ancestors. The young musician Anggi was given away as a baby and grew up with Reak musicians. He encounters various personal and other struggles in his life. Feeling alone in the world and opposed by everyone, Anggi finds strength in his faith in Reak.
