Johan and Mama live in a reclusive crocodile park on the island of Java. Mother and son live in voluntary exile, with a white crocodile as their only confidant. Leur vie isolée est bouleversée lorsque Johan tombe amoureux d’Arumi. This arrival upsets Mama and the fragile family balance she is trying to preserve. As the fabric of her world unravels, Mama’s opposition manifests itself in increasingly strange ways.
