"Stupid."
- Stupid. - What else?
Dumbass.
"Dumbass."
Stupid, dumbass.
What else?
Idiot, moron.
"Idiot, moron."
Stupid, dumbass, idiot, moron.
Your friend told me
you insulted Ningsih by calling her some kind of animal.
Which animal is it?
Jellyfish.
Why jellyfish?
Because a jellyfish has no brain.
"Jellyfish."
- Stupid, dumbass, idiot, moron, jellyfish. - Ningsih didn't go to class for three days
because you called her these names.
I want you to do some "reflection."
Stupid, dumbass, idiot, moron, jellyfish.
Ningsih can't get these words out of her head.
Play this audio to a sprout from your Biology assignment.
Report to me in a week.
Is there a difference between the sprout you insult and the one you don't?
- All right, ma'am. Once again, I'm sorry. - All right.
Thank you, Daru. Have a good day.
Have a good day.

How's my husband progressing according to Mrs. Tunggul?
Her notes indicate that his depression and manic episodes are still unstable.
He should continue taking his medication for the bipolar symptoms
while continuing therapy sessions.
ACCOUNT BALANCE
Fine, I'll order more medicine.
The total is 400,000.
I'll transfer the payment.
Stand up! Greetings!
Good afternoon, Mrs. Prani.
Hello!
Greetings, first.
Hello, ma'am!
- Gosh, Gora, how are you? - And you, ma'am?
I'm fine, how are you?
Are you here for therapy too?
No, I'm here because of my husband.
I didn't expect to see you here.
- Yes. - So, how's life?
Are you in college? Working?
I went back to Sumatra a while back.
But now I'm working for a news website. Ever heard of Ink Echoes?
We cover all kinds of things. Culture, arts, film, music.
We're now covering culinary businesses affected by the pandemic.
And many hidden gems.
Rice flour, coconut, and Javanese pancakes.
This is Granny Rahayu's coconut cake shop from my college days.
I was a regular there.
Many food critics said she deserves a Michelin star.
And who is he?
That's Tunas, my editor in chief.
And your job is…
I'm a videographer.
By the way, do you still get into fights?
No, ma'am.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Mrs. Tunggul, look here.
What a coincidence, my ex-student is here for therapy too.
- Right, like a mini reunion. - That's right, ma'am.
Honey, this is my former student Gora.
- Which class were you in? - 2010, ma'am.
I totally forgot.
Well, it's been over a decade.
All right, you take care.
Okay, I'll get going then.
Bye.
Excuse me.
The height is around 1.9 meters.
The width is around 1.1 meters.
This is Mrs. Prani.
Mrs. Prani, someone's here to see the house.
I asked Muklas and he said it was okay.
- Thank you. - Sure.
- Have a good day. - You, too.
Mrs. Prani.
Excuse me.
You're behind on your rent for the past two months.
Are you renewing your lease for next year?
We are. We're also thinking of buying it.
Buying the house?
Really?
Honey, honey, honey…
Stop. Honey, stop it!
I wish this thumb hadn't pressed the button to buy electric scooters.
Idiot, idiot, idiot.
When things get better, we can rent out the scooters downtown.
But we don't know when COVID will end.
I keep screwing up every business. The gem stones, the guppy fish…
Idiot, idiot, idiot.
Psychologist, psychiatrist… It's a waste of money.
- Therapy is important. - Better use the money to pay the rent.
- We still have money. - What money?
I'm up for promotion to Vice Principal.
When?
This week.
Don't go back to sleep. Yesterday you slept for 12 hours.
Take your pills.
I won't.
They do nothing for me. I don't feel happy, I don't feel sad.
It's like I'm not even alive.
I was right that time. I shouldn't have gone to the ER, I should've just died.
I'll buy you some food, okay?
How about Granny Rahayu's coconut cakes, just like when we were in college?
No.
Come on.
Food critics are saying she makes the world's best coconut cakes.
What's wrong, Dad?
My stomach hurts. My chest is burning.
- Sounds like you have GERD. - Bird?
Gerd, because you're stressed.
That's why Muklas Animalia would like you to learn from…
the crocodile.
Do this!
Open wide for five minutes.
It helps get the acid out. Our body's acidity becomes neutral.
My mouth is dry.
After five minutes,
drink Rivera Water,
with a pH 8 that neutralizes your stomach's pH level.
Thank you, Son.
If people come to see the house, don't let them in.
It'll be a hassle if they sell. We'd have to move again.
I was doing a live stream.
Go buy some coconut cakes for your dad.
I have a meeting with a brand in town, Mom.
Come on now.
Your 100.000 followers aren't going anywhere.
I can't, this is a big deal.
Tita.
Go buy some coconut cakes for your dad.
I have some deliveries and band practice in the afternoon.
It's on your way there though.
I can't, Mom.
I'm taking the motorbike.
But I have jump rope practice.
Hello, Diah?
So sorry. I'll be ten minutes late to practice.
I have to swing by the market.
Thirty coconut cakes please.
Take a number.
Peace be upon you.
And peace be upon you.
I am sorry, may I pay you back in two months?
Why is this taking forever?
Then wish me luck on my promotion.
When will it be official?
The job's not mine yet.
The school board will conduct the selection next week.
- Will you get a raise? - 6 million per month, it's not bad.
But you have to be strict with your husband.
- I know. - When you get a raise...
I know.
Don't let him use it...
- I understand. - You are strict with your students.
So be strict with him too.
I can't keep repeating myself.
Number 39.
- What's your number? - Number 40, why?
Can you also place my order?
I need to get 20 coconut cakes. I'll give you the money.
I'm running late for the airport.
- Do you mind? - Sure.
Number 53.
Hello?
Yes, I'm still waiting. People have been cutting in line.
Now. Okay, bro?
Get me 50 coconut cakes.
Awesome.
Excuse me, sir.
Please follow the rules. Wait until they call your number.
If you cut in line, what about us? There'll be no more cakes left.
Be cool. I am with my relative here.
You're making that up. I saw you with my own eyes.
You just arrived 15 minutes ago, right?
While this man has been here even before me.
So what? He's still my relative.
He was here before me to stand in line.
- Are you really related? - Hey! Are you doubting me?
Mind your own business and stop meddling in ours.
Look, I'm just trying to follow the rules.
- When you get a number, stick with it. - Good grief!
That's only fair. First come, first served.
Don't cut in line.
My relative has been standing in line for me.
- You're lying. - Do you want to fight?
Please, stop this.
Mrs. Prani, if you're in a rush, I'll help you first.
That's not what I'm asking for.
I just want people to follow the rules.
It's fine. No problem, right, sir?
So, you guys know each other? A regular customer?
No wonder you refuse to wait in line.
Watch it!
Well? First you're being fussy, and now you're refusing service.
Let's serve you first, ma'am. There's a long line here.
- I don't... - Go on. She's late for her TV show.
- Shut up! - You started it, weirdo!
How many would you like, ma'am? Thirty?
No, ma'am, no!
Go ahead. I'm just a tourist. Regulars can go first.
- Just tell us how many. - Too long!
Good job, ladies.
Mrs. Prani, the competition is approaching.
- Please don't be late again. - Sure, I'm sorry.
All right, ladies! Don't! Give! Up!
Honey?
I'm home.
Wake up.
Thank you.
- Are the board members here? - Yes, they're having breakfast now.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Morning. - Morning, sir.
Morning.
Please, sir.
Sir.
This is Mrs. Prani, our school counselor.
- I'm Prani. - Hello, Mrs. Prani.
The maritime glory of the Majapahit kingdom…
…it's also found in mammals, such as deer.
Two, three, four…
We decided to use virtual backgrounds.
Some students like to "flex" their homes.
- "Flex"? - Show off.
They're influenced by vloggers.
So we hold a virtual background design competition every week.
The winners' designs are used by the whole school.
That's a good idea.
Our homework for next week, chapter 64 on inertia.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, Mrs. Prani.
Good morning.
Good morning, Langit.
Langit, please turn on your camera.
I know you put on your photo to trick us.
You were sleeping, right?
No, I have a bad connection, so my video froze.
You're lying again.
This is the second time I caught you lying.
I'm giving you a test, okay?
Everybody, turn off your cameras, except Langit.
You've been a student here for two months.
Who is this?
Heri?
Okay.
And this?
I don't know, ma'am.
"I don't know, ma'am."
Okay. How about this one?
Prima?
Wrong, and this one?
I forgot, ma'am.
"I forgot, ma'am."
Two months and you still don't know your own classmates?
Now, it's time for some "reflection."
Tell me your classmates' full names,
but in morse code.
Motherfucker!
What did you just say?
Nothing, ma'am.
Why did you curse?
You can curse, but I can't?
What do you mean?
Never mind. So when should I submit the assignment?
No, answer my question first.
Can I share my screen?
Go ahead.
Asui!
You were cursing. You said "asui."
What video is this?
What video was that?
It's nothing. My students like to share their screens to prank me.
The rumor is true,
you're a legend in this school.
Your punishment methods are unique.
It's not a punishment, but a "reflection."
Can you present your new idea
on students' character building tomorrow?
- Yes, sir. - So our school keeps up with the times.
One step closer to becoming the Vice Principal.
Why didn't Tita pick me up? Does she have band practice?
Why are you shutting me out?
- Like this one, for my mom. - Okay, let's wash her hair.
What's going on?
- You need a new haircut now. - But why?
So people won't recognize you as the cursing lady.
It's still under 10,000 views.
That's crazy.
Wait.
What were you thinking? Cursing at an old lady.
I wasn't cursing.
You said "asui."
-Just tell us how many. - Ah suwi.
I said "ah suwi," not "asui."
But why were you making a scene? The line is always long there.
Read the comments. "She's so rude."
"That's our culinary legend!"
"Poor Granny. Calling an old woman a dog?"
Mom?
You're lying! Filthy dog.
I was mad at the guy in the eagle shirt, not at Granny Rahayu.
But the video shows you saying "filthy dog."
People think you were insulting Granny Rahayu.
You asshole!
A lot of videos of ladies cursing have gone viral.
The netizens will demand an apology.
Let's just tell the truth in the comment section.
No. Mom's wearing a mask in the video.
No one knows it's her, so stop looking for trouble.
But one of my students saw it.
Your students are a tiny part of the internet community.
No one has mentioned Prani Siswoyo here.
Report the video. It was recorded and uploaded without consent.
This vlogger is a tourist. He's in America now.
He uploads food and travel videos.
He has many subscribers.
This one commented, "A disgrace for Indonesia."
- So what should I do? - Don't let Dad know.
This will stress him more. I cut our internet cable.
Let's not buy him internet data, even if he asks.
It's important that no one recognizes you.
Don't say anything, you two. This will soon blow over.
Okay, Boni, open the package I sent you.
Before the pandemic, you used to hang out in the library for hours.
So, I sent you the air freshener they use in the library.
Every 15 minutes, it will…
Thank you, Mrs. Prani.
When your parents' situation makes you feel uncomfortable,
just take a whiff.
Our sense of smell can soothe our emotions.
-Thank you, Mrs. Prani. - Good night, Boni.
Today, we are learning from…
the kangaroo.
A baby kangaroo is nestled in its mother's warm pouch.
Just like human babies in their mothers' womb.
Animalus, try this Java Sauna Box
and you'll feel like being inside a kangaroo's warm pouch.
You can also try these.
Ear plugs!
For total silence.
Close your eyes.
When everything's silent,
all you can hear is your own heartbeat.
Ignore people's negative comments.
For a moment, let's go back inside our mother's womb.
I don't call it punishment. I call it "reflection."
WHAT IS REFLECTION?
It's nothing physical.
They're just activities to help students reflect on their mistakes.
To exert a good influence,
I upload physical exercise videos on my social media.
I learn a lot from my own son,
Muklas Waseso.
Have you heard of him? His goes by the name Muklas Animalia.
He has influenced hundreds of thousands of followers
to undergo a healing process with physical exercises.
Like mother, like son.
All right.
That was my presentation.
Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you, Mrs. Prani.
Any questions from the school board?
Have you ever consulted with a psychologist?
No, I have not.
You might want to consider it.
In the video that went viral, it seems like you have a lot of issues.
You have quite a temperament.
Oh, that video.
I wasn't cursing, ladies and gentlemen.
That's right, ladies and gentleman.
"Ah suwi" in Javanese translates to "too long."
The words are not the problem.
Our concern is your temper.
Why did you react in that explosive way?
Next week, an assessment officer will come for your psychological test.
This will not impact our assessment on your programs.
But, in selecting a new Vice Principal,
we have to make sure you're physically and mentally fit.
Some parents have asked if the woman in the video
is a teacher at Pengemban Utama Junior High.
I will immediately contact the parents to...
Don't blow this out of proportion.
If a parent asks, you can just send them a statement letter.
If no one asks, we don't need to clarify anything.
All right.
All right. That'll be all.
Thank you, Mrs. Prani. We'll move on to the next candidate.
Mr. Aris, come in.
Excuse me.

Chien, trop long, chien, trop long, chien, trop long, chien, trop long.
Filthy dog.
Dog, too long.

- Just tell us how many. - Filthy dog.
I AM A FILTHY DOG
Asui, asui
Asui
Asui, asui
Just kidding, Mrs. Prani.
You're famous now.
But I wasn't cursing.
It's okay to curse.
Cursing relieves stress.
Asui!
Next week, we're shooting a video at Breccia Cliff, for the competition.
We will wear yellow pants, okay?
Not the pink one?
Prani had the pink one on at the coconut cake place.
What if the netizens notice?
People will say the pink pants she was wearing are our group's uniform.
That's not good for us.
So, we'll go shopping for yellow pants tomorrow.
Okay!
Let's continue.
Oppression
Authoritarian
Tyranny Sacrificing the people
Fight, fight, fight
A small food court in Tambakmulyo can't operate.
Whereas food courts in malls can still operate.
Our band, The Raging Soil, is against this unfair regulation.
Sounds good.
Tita…
Help me out.
I never agreed with Muklas to begin with. If I was wrongly accused, I'd speak up.
Like in your song lyrics?
Fight!
Ready?
Go!
The man in the eagle shirt was trying to cut the line
with the help of the man in the ninja jacket.
After I called him out, that man told me that they were relatives.
Granny Rahayu offered to serve me first.
Can you cover the man's face with little squares, like in the news?
- You mean censor it? - So his face can't be seen.
Sure.
I feel sorry for his wife and kids.
This man was insulting and humiliating me.
Therefore,
- I hope… - Package pick up!
…this video can clarify what really happened.
And there'll be no more misinformation.
- Take a picture when you deliver it. - Sure. Excuse me.
- Where are you uploading it? - To my social media account.
You have one? Since when? Why aren't you following me?
I set it to private. I only use it to motivate my students.
Don't you want to edit it more?
"Cutting in lines is a typical Indonesian behavior."
"Is it in our nature to be worried that we won't get a piece of the pie?"
"I admire Mrs. Prani for speaking out."
My former students are also supporting me.
They say, "Go, Mrs. Prani!"
They used fire emojis too.
Is it ready?
Here you go.
- Thanks so much. - Sure.
We've been ordering take-out lately. I miss Dad's cooking.
Your dad is going through a depression phase.
He cooks all the time when he's in his manic phase.
They should bring back Moral Education as a subject in school.
I told you to lay low.
Why did you make a video?
What's wrong with it?
No one had noticed it was you, Mom. Now everybody knows.
- Isn't that a good thing? - How so?
You can't keep quiet if you're being wrongly accused.
Why are you so upset? People are responding positively.
You never listen to me.
What's wrong with you?
Next question.
- He's crazy. - "Speaking of a mother's womb…"
"Was that your mom making a scene at the market?"
Of course not. I don't know that woman.
I think she needs to learn from the turtle
to control her temper.
Mr. Muklas Animalia always talks about healing,
a happy family, loving your parents.
It's all bullshit!
His mom's social media was set to private,
but it's now set to public after the clarification video.
So we now get to see her old posts.
Like mother, like son. Wrong timing!
You're always talking about a mother's womb.
But you act like your mom doesn't exist.
What an ungrateful son!
You're so full of it, man! You filthy dog!
Sorry, not sorry.
We don't trust your healing content anymore!
Mom?
I have to make a clarification video.
Otherwise, the skin care brand won't endorse me.
Good evening, Animalus!
When someone asked me if the lady in the video was my mom.
Honestly, I didn't know.
The video resolution was small and she had a mask on.
My mom looks different with a mask on.
Let's see.
On.
Off.
On.
Off.
Different, right?
So I wasn't able to recognize my beautiful mother.
I'm sorry, Mom.
All clear now, right?
My mom wasn't cursing. She never curses.
Don't be like the parrot that's easily provoked and mocks people.
Be like the nightingale, calm and soothing.
All right, guys.
Bye for now, Animalus!
Good evening, Animalus!
When someone asked me if the lady in the video was my mom…
Honey.
Honey?
You scared me.
Hello!
Just got back from the market.
MR. TRI - CATFISH FARMING
I had a meeting about the catfish business.
Baby catfish are the least risky.
We don't have to worry about their eggs. We'll get the eggs from other farmers.
- Eat up. - Looks good.
I'll drive you to work.
Okay.
The initial cost is not high.
We can use tarps for the ponds. It only costs 1 million rupiah.
The food doesn't cost much. Catfish can eat anything.
Stress-relief vitamins only cost 100,000.
Stress can make them jump out of the pond.
I'll take Mom to work. It's on my way to the music store.
Fine then.
While queueing for the cakes, I needed to go to the bathroom.
I gave my number to the man in the ninja jacket, in case I got called.
I returned to get my number back.
That's when the lady came up and accused me of cutting in line.
What actually happened, Mom? Are you sure he cut the line?
My face is censored, but it's clearly me
because I was wearing an eagle shirt.
When netizens searched Granny Rahayu shop's location
and found my selfie in the eagle shirt,
my identity was exposed and I became known as the man with no manners.
The guy who cuts in line. Thug.
My wife and kids get bullied on the internet,
thanks to Mrs. Prani's false accusation.
My kids are mocked at school for having a father with no manners.
I'm giving Mrs. Prani an ultimatum to revise her public statement
so my family and I stop being wrongly accused.
CLARIFICATION OF SLANDER BY PRANI SISWOYO I DID NOT CUT THE LINE
Otherwise,
I will take legal actions.
Thank you.
We just asked you to write a clarification letter for the parents.
Instead, you revealed your identity to the public as the lady in the video.
Can I suggest something so we can solve this issue quickly?
What if Mrs. Prani makes an apology video addressed to that man?
I agree. Just for one day, and then delete it.
If the man files a lawsuit, you'll be in big trouble.
He wasn't in the bathroom.
I heard it myself. He asked the ninja guy to order for him.
Do you have proof? Because the video has no sound.
I don't, sir.
But if he's suing me, let him.
I'm sure the other customers will testify against him.
Please.
Let's not take this to court.
The school will be involved and we'll see infotainment, gossip, and news.
I have done some reading on this topic.
According to the law, Mrs. Prani is in a weak position
because she made the clarification video first.
If you hadn't made a scene and reacted the way you did,
this whole thing wouldn't have happened.
Listen!
If someone breaks the rules, I have to speak up, right?
I can't just keep quiet,
and act like everything is okay?
And let other people walk all over me?
Whatever you decide to do, please solve this quickly and prudently.
The school board can't be involved in this.
And for next week's webinar
regarding student counseling during the pandemic,
I think Mr. Aris should fill in for you.
Yes, sir.
But I can still present the webinar.
I don't think so. You better focus on this problem.
Okay?
Okay, ma'am?
Let's see if we can find that ninja guy's account.
He can prove that the other guy was cutting in line.
I'm looking at the tags for Granny Rahayu's shop.
Maybe he didn't post anything.
I can't find him.
No post from him.
Muklas Animalia must've known the woman was his mother.
The face masks they use in his family are the same color.
Yellow.
And guess what, they got the masks for free from Mrs. Prani's school.
SLANDER
"School counselor slander master" is trending now.
If you keep looking at your feed, we won't find him.
Found him!
He bought his friend some coconut cakes. The friend uploaded and tagged him.
"@whiteblood97"
His real name?
It's in Japanese. He must be an anime lover.
Send him a message. Ask nicely, "Hello, I'm Muklas Waseso and I…"
Wait, his account just disappeared!
You used your account?
Yes, I was going to message him.
He knows you looked him up. He must think you're stalking him.
Idiot!
Since the controversy of Mrs. Prani's outburst
at Granny Rahayu's shop,
many are debating Mrs. Prani's manners.
It's been said
Granny Rahayu hasn't opened her shop in three days. What's happening?
Yes, I do know her.
Her shop has been closed for three days?
Last time I saw her was three days ago.
What do you think happened?
COVID, maybe. I heard she caught it.
Last time she opened was the day of that commotion.
No one has seen her since?
No. I think it's because Mrs. Prani's mask slipped a little.
What about Granny Rahayu's kids? Anyone seen them?
No. Maybe they got COVID too.
It's sad to see this.
The tourism industry is still struggling amidst the pandemic.
The commotion that led to this scandal made it worst.
Let's hope that our culinary legend, Granny Rahayu,
is well and healthy.
INK ECHOES
These are your friends, right?
Shit!
Such a reckless opinion should be refuted with facts.
Do you have the school board director's number?
Gora, he was my student ten years ago and works for Ink Echoes. You know him?
No, but I know the others.
You just wait by the food stall.
I'll go in.
If there's a crowd…
People will be curious.
Do you think it's enough?
- We can go viral. - Yeah.
What's with your vindictive report against my mom?
You accused her of spreading COVID.
We never said your mom gave Granny Rahayu COVID.
You're steering the public opinion.
- The public has its opinion. - You care about clickbaits and profit.
You're acting all empathetic,
but all you care about is funding.
- And sponsorships. - Tita.
No need to attack us. How are you different from us?
You used to make music and write lyrics about fighting against the establishment.
After COVID, you stopped making music.
Now you sell secondhand clothes with your label on them.
You buy used clothes, boil them, and sell them at ten times their value.
Those big brands you used to criticize in your songs,
you use them now to sell more clothes online.
You think we don't know that's you?
Your mom promotes them on her account.
So, you and your songs… It's all for clickbaits, right?
So don't make it a habit to yell and make a scene, like your mom.
Excuse me.
Sorry, we don't accept interviews.
No, we brought roasted chicken for Granny Rahayu.
May we see her?
If not, we'll just leave this here.
You're not here for an interview?
I'm here to make sure your mother is okay.
Yes, thanks. And thank you for the chicken.
Thank God she doesn't have COVID.
How are you?
I'm exhausted, miss.
I serve 200 customers every day.
My hands are all blistered from making 1,000 coconut cakes every day.
I've been wanting to take a break,
but my son insisted that I keep selling coconut cakes
due to the high demand.
When was it better for you?
Before or after you were featured?
Before, of course.
Why is that?
Because we sold just enough.
But now?
Now, I feel exhausted.
She's old, you know how it is.
Can you say that again?
"Media coverage makes me exhausted."
Media coverage makes me exhausted.
Can I upload this?
Sure.
Who are we meeting here?
Why are we having an expensive meal?
Is this for a brand endorsement?
The shrimp will be ready soon.
Our praises to you, our teacher
Your name will forever live
In our hearts
Your dedication will be carved
Into my soul
Like an epigraph of our gratitude to you
What's going on?
You are a beacon of light
In the dark
You are a soothing dew
In the drought
You are a patriot
An unsung hero
So, we all just want to say
that all of the alumni here will always support you.
- Ma'am. - Ma'am.
Muklas braved the rain and came to my house
just to tell me that Granny Rahayu is healthy.
She doesn't have COVID.
We can see how much Muklas loves his mother.
A round of applause for Muklas, please.
This further proves that
the world of social media is prone to hoaxes,
- and we have to fight that. - Fight!
I remember Mrs. Prani punished me once.
She made me measure the school yard using match sticks.
Not a punishment. "Reflection."
- Reflection. - Okay, fine.
Mrs. Prani, you don't have to worry about that man's threat.
Many of your former students are lawyers now.
We are at your service.
We won't charge you. It's totally free.
I work for an NGO focusing on education.
I've contacted our network
of online media, magazines, and newspapers.
We'll write articles on how Mrs. Prani has shaped us into what we are today.
All I can say is thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Stand up!
Greetings!
Thank you, Mrs. Prani.
REFLECTION - STUDYING MY OWN SALIVA
I once spat in the classroom.
Mrs. Prani told me to reflect and look at my own saliva under the microscope.
Then I had to draw the bacteria on a batik cloth.
The cloth was displayed so other students could see
that saliva is teeming with bacteria.
I once got caught smoking in the school bathroom.
Mrs. Prani told me to collect cigarette stubs that people threw away.
She then asked me to wear a T-shirt with a print of human organs.
The cigarette stubs attached to the lungs.
#THANKYOUMRSPRANI
I once failed a grade.
Mrs. Prani and my classmates walked me home together.
They were supporting me
so I could find the courage to tell my parents the bad news.
Thank you, Mrs. Prani, for making me strong.
Mrs. Prani has supporters!
Her campaign team to help her become the Vice Principal.
What supporters? It's Uli's NGO.
Today's topic is character building that's relevant for the Generation Z.
We see a trend to promote small businesses affected by the pandemic.
But the media often forgets.
Are the business owners ready for that kind of popularity?
The media only cares about clickbaits,
ignoring the psychological impact on business owners.
We interviewed Granny Rahayu.
She was exhausted after her business went viral.
This is a powerful clapback against Ink Echoes.
More like "Jinx Echoes."
Or Kink Echoes.
Stink Echoes!
All good with the footage? Granny Rahayu has agreed to this?
All good.
Okay. Export and upload.
Perfect material for our band's protest video this week.
Hello, Animalus friends. We are now in Ponggok Springs.
It's now open for business again,
but you have to show your swab test result.
Today, my mom and I are ready to hit the water,
retreat from the noisy world, and learn from the koi fish.
Salatiga is a hot market right now.
They get more and more college students.
The food stalls there have a high demand for catfish.
This way, ma'am.
Choose, Mom.
That one's pretty. The yellow one.
In a noisy world, what do we need to do?
Listen to our heart.
You can feed the fish, miss.
Fight the causes, only to get more followers.
Posting intellectual musings to impress a crush.
Show empathy for the poor, but party every weekend.
Offer advice when your own life is a mess.
Screw the political correctness police.
The truth? According to whom?
I chose the right style for you, right?
Perfect for your jump rope video tomorrow.
- You want to have it dyed? - The school won't allow it.
Looking for my pills?
Are they at home?
I don't need them. I feel great. I've not taken them for a week.
Salatiga is a good place for catfish farming.
Many students there.
But classes are still online. They're not going out for meals.
Exactly.
I can start now.
Next year, when the pandemic is over, we'll have fish to sell.
How do you know it'll be over next year?
- Chicken, extra spicy. - Let's eat!
Look, I'm a chicken eating a chicken.
That's right.
Good luck.
- What time should I pick you up? - Should be finished in the evening.
Wish me luck.
Oh, it started already?
Mrs. Prani, can I talk to you?
Yes, sure.
Where should I stand?
Mrs. Prani, we think it's better
if you're not in the video.
What's going on?
You haven't checked your phone?
When I was in school,
I liked to fight with kids from other classes,
other schools, even other neighborhoods.
The school gave three warnings and I was almost expelled.
But Mrs. Prani did not give up on me.
Instead, she gave me a task to reflect and learn.
She told me to go to a cemetery near my house.
I had to help out the gravediggers. I dug graves for recently deceased people.
For two months, I spent every weekend at the cemetery
digging two meters into the ground.
I saw dead people of all ages getting buried.
From the experience of digging graves, Mrs. Prani hoped
that I'd appreciate life more and stop fighting.
Fights can lead to death.
Since then, I've never fought again and I didn't get expelled.
Hello, Gora. Over here, boy!
#ThankYouMrsPrani.
So why am I not allowed to participate in the competition?
Look…
PSYCHO TEACHER
PETITION TO FIRE MRS. PRANI
Many people are demanding
your stop being a teacher.
SAVE OUR CHILDREN
We think it's best if you deal with this problem first.
We'll just say that you have COVID.
Today's hot topic is the quality of our education system.
A former student shared his experience of having to dig graves.
Is this an appropriate punishment?
Let's talk with Puspita Endarti, a self-healing expert.
This kind of learning method could cause trauma.
Digging graves and watching funerals could trigger a phobia in the future.
This activity could also cause anger issues in the future.
It's possible that he could commit domestic abuse in the future.
It could trigger suicidal thoughts in kids.
It might've violated the law on child labor. She could be sentenced.
People have been showing support for Gora on his social media account.
They wish him well.
We weren't able to reach Gora for comments.
What we know is he's attending therapy sessions with a psychologist.
There's a trending topic, "Grave digging."
Another trending topic, "Save our children."
Why didn't you tell us you gave him such a cruel punishment?
Indonesia, my homeland
Where I shed my blood
There I stand As a guide to my motherland
Today,
we'll begin our school activities...
Excuse me, sir.
Can I speak for a second?
I'm Daru's father. He's in class 7B.
I'm questioning the grave-digging punishment.
Just a moment.
We need your explanation. This concerns our children's safety.
Last week, Mrs. Prani punished my child.
He has to listen to curse words through a speaker repeatedly.
The school board, alumni, parents,
they are all pressuring me.
Please be honest with me.
Why is there no official record of this punishment in the school reports?
Because they would never have let me.
Our old principal held a personal grudge against Gora.
Because his son lost a tooth from a fight with Gora?
His son started it by putting human feces in Gora's bag.
We gave him warning letters.
If he kept breaking the rules, it was up to him and his family.
So we should've just let him get expelled?
Let him grow up to be a thug? Kill people? Go to prison?
But what's the point if he's traumatized for life?
How did you conclude he was traumatized?
The internet…
And you believe that?
There are more than 20 analyses on his mental state.
But none of those came from Gora. Those are the netizens' words.
What if trauma is not the reason for his therapy?
I will talk to Gora about this.
Let him clarify that the assignment I gave him for his reflection
was good for him.
Be careful, this could be a trap.
What trap?
Who made the video about you giving Granny Rahayu COVID?
Ink Echoes.
Who does Gora work for?
They could bring up your other punishments.
When you punished Bambang to collect coffee dregs
after he threw coffee at his classmate.
They could twist it…
"I have a coffee phobia. It makes me throw up."
"Every time I smell coffee, I get a headache."
You'll go viral again!
Sir, Bambang was never traumatized. In fact, he's a barista now.
Who do you believe?
The observers or the person themselves?
The school board said
that if you hadn't made the clarification video,
the man at the market wouldn't have acted up,
the alumni wouldn't have shown support, Gora wouldn't have come forward,
and all of these issues wouldn't have happened.
You don't have it, Ica?
What about Gora's classmates' contacts?
Hello, Ardi?
This is Mrs. Prani. Do you know Gora's full name?
-Hello. - Hello, Tita?
Do me a favor. Ask Mrs. Tunggul for Gora's phone number.
I did, but she said it's not allowed without the patient's permission.
INK ECHOES EDITORIAL TEAM
INK ECHOES' VIDEOGRAPHER
Anggoro Sambudi.
After 200 meters, turn right.
What's going on?
Why didn't you tell us you made that video without consent?
- I had consent. - Her kids complained.
Their business is suffering because of the video.
Granny Rahayu was okay with me uploading it.
But not her family.
So what?
It's her right to give consent.
Granny Rahayu is an old woman.
So?
She's an adult. She doesn't need her family's consent.
Really?
Her kids are saying we didn't have permission.
Guess who's taking advantage?
Ink Echoes!
Granny Rahayu gave me permission!
We took down the video.
You're not being honest with us.
You made that video to help your problematic mom, right?
Today we're making an apology video
to Granny Rahayu's family.
We're also announcing
that you're no longer a member of our band.
You're evil.
Evil.
Excuse me.
Is Gora here?
Gora? No one named Gora lives here.
I was told he lives here.
I don't know. We just moved here a year ago.
Let me take your picture and get your contact number.
If someone has any info, we'll let you know.
No need, thank you.
Wait. One, two…
What's the issue with the coconut cake seller?
Because of this, Dad's been missing since 11 a.m.
Excuse me.
- Why are you trespassing on my property? - Uli, can I talk to you?
You can't do this.
You should've made an appointment. I also need my privacy.
As the head of the board of alumni, I kindly ask you to contact Gora.
There's a misunderstanding at school.
I can't give out any personal information without their consent.
My NGO has been advocating for a better educational environment.
At first, we thought that you shared the same vision with us.
But when we met at the restaurant the other day,
why didn't you tell us about your punishment for Gora?
Uli, listen to me.
Gora is not traumatized as they are saying on social media.
Why did Gora take down his video?
Gora deleted his testimonial video?
Yes, he deleted his social account too.
I'm sorry. I need my privacy.
Excuse me.
Is my father here?
Ah, you're the brother of the girl who filmed my mom without consent?
Destroying people's livelihood.
Is my father here?
No idea. He could be dead.
Why did you dump coconut waste at my house?
Idiot! Get out of here!
Filthy dog!
Mind & Soul Foundation has taken down our video on Prani Siswoyo.
We apologize for our lack of research.
We don't support any kind of age-inappropriate punishment method.
Going forward, we will try to be better,
self-evaluate and learn so we don't repeat our mistakes.
It wasn't Granny Rahayu's family who kidnapped Dad.
Who, then?
Maybe some parents did it to protest?
What if Dad hurts himself again like he did last time?
- I called his friends. No one's seen him. - Calm down.
- If we can't find him, call the police. - The police?
You are in the middle of a defamation case.
And that grave-digging punishment.
What if parents start suing you?
- Last thing we need is a lawsuit! - So what do we do?
If your dad hurts himself again, it'll be a nightmare for us.
We need help from netizens.
What do you mean?
"Netizen, do your magic?"
We're the most hated people on the internet, how will that work?
They'll say we're trying to get attention.
Or creating a distraction.
Making things up.
That's why you should make an apology video first, Mom.
- My dear God. - Mom…
It's the quickest way.
If the netizens help us, we'll know where Dad is in no time.
Tita can upload his picture.
But to get their help, you have to post an apology first.
Apologize for making a scene at the shop.
For accusing people wrongly.
For giving an inappropriate punishment.
Then you ask for help.
What did I do wrong?
What should I apologize for?
I know you did nothing wrong.
But now, wrong or right is a matter of who talks the most.
The whole internet thinks you're guilty.
I don't care about my image anymore.
I don't have brand deals anymore. This is a tough time in our lives.
But for others,
this is just about one notification.
Right now, I'm only thinking about…
Dad's safety.
I, Prani Siswoyo,
would like to convey the following:
First, I apologize for making a scene at Granny Rahayu's shop.
Second, I apologize for accusing Mr. Sapto of cutting in line.
Third, on behalf of my daughter, Tita Sulastri,
I apologize to Granny Rahayu's family
for uploading her video without her family's consent.
Fourth,
I apologize for giving an inappropriate punishment to a former student,
who was a minor at the time.
I apologize deeply, and I'm ready to take responsibility.
I'd also like to ask for your help to find my husband, Didit Wibowo,
who has gone missing.
If you know where Didit Wibowo is,
please contact me at 0857354768.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Prani Siswoyo.
Okay.
Post it now.
Not yet.
What? Why?
Let's wait until tomorrow morning. I'm sure Dad is all right.
Mom, are you risking Dad's safety?
He never wants to take his medicines.
Now he's bringing his pills with him.
He surely wants to get better and he has something to do.
Let's find him together tonight!
This is ridiculous!
Mrs. Prani, how are you?
Ma'am, did my husband stop by?
I don't think so.
He's not at the catfish farm?
All right then. Thank you.
Ma'am? Miss? Are you okay?
Hey, stop! You bastard!
Stop!
Asshole!
We got the culprit.
Yes, ma'am.
Why did you throw graveyard water at them for content?
Go home.
You heard her.
Here's your phone.
Content is all you care about!
- Show's over! - Let's go!
This is the fastest way to find Dad.
If you won't post the video and ask for help on the internet,
let my friend upload this video!
If the netizens understand
that this is impacting your personal life,
that a random guy throws water at you, they'll feel sorry for you,
and they'll help you.
You're only thinking about yourself!
I just don't want anything to happen to Dad.
Please, let me upload it now.
Please!
I want to have a normal life again.
I'm an idiot. I'm an embarrassment.
If only I had listened to you and bought Dad the coconut cakes,
this wouldn't have happened.
Idiot!
How are we supposed to live in this house now?
Enough!
Are you done?
Drink this tea.
You will never find your dad
by banging your head like that.
Good morning, Mrs. Prani.
I want to update you about my sprouts.
This is the one I played the curses at, it's 23 cm long.
And this is the one I didn't.
It's also 23 cm long.
There's no difference.
Stupid, dumbass, idiot, moron, jellyfish.
Where have you been?
Why did you lock all the doors?
Come with me.
Last night, Mr. Didit came to my house and told me everything.
I'm very concerned about what people are saying about Gora on social media.
Are they right, though?
As his psychologist, I can't say anything
unless Gora gives me permission.
What if we see and talk to Gora?
A psychologist can't be a mediator
between you and Gora.
But…
I can move his therapy session before Mr. Didit's session today.
You can run into each other in the waiting room.
If he runs into you and wants to talk,
it's all up to you.
But if Gora avoids you,
I can't do anything.
But please,
what I said should never leave this car.
But I don't want to put your job at risk.
See you, Mrs. Tunggul.
Thank you.
Mr. Didit Wibowo, Mrs. Tunggul will see you now.
Mrs. Prani,
can we talk?
This one is 2.5 meters long.
We were digging when they brought the body.
He was two meters tall.
When we put him in, his feet were like this…
No space.
So we dug again.
Let's go there.
This one was an old lady.
Her family didn't want to go in. Different moms.
So I had to go in the hole and I held the body like this.
Just like a hug.
The body was so cold, like a marble floor.
I was a small boy. When I climbed up, I slipped.
Luckily, I fell on her feet.
That one…
This one I did myself.
I dug it all by myself.
The baby was one year and a half old. His parents were fighting,
hitting each other.
They accidentally hit him. He fell. Bam!
I'm sorry, Gora.
I'm the cause of your traumas.
Now you're in therapy.
When I was in high school,
I got stabbed.
An old enemy. An old grudge.
I was just about to strike back,
but this…
this tiny grave stopped me.
Life is too precious.
Hence my graveyard flower tattoo, so I'll always remember.
Ma'am?
It's okay, ma'am.
I quit Ink Echoes.
They're assholes.
They accused me. Diagnosed me as they like.
They said I was depressed. Traumatized.
What a bunch of smart-asses.
None of it is true.
I'll speak with the Principal tomorrow.
Don't worry, ma'am.
Gora told me everything.
And he's not traumatized or depressed. He stopped getting into fights.
And now, Gora, let's make a video to explain that to the public.
Okay. Yes.
Are you ready, Gora?
May I go to the bathroom first?
Sure.
Gora?
Gora.
Gora?
Gora!
My God, what happened?
Did you slip?
Ma'am.
Sorry, I came to the bathroom… to think.
Are you all right? What are you thinking about?
I didn't know I had to make a clarification video.
I thought I'd just have to talk with the Principal.
I'm scared, ma'am.
If I make a statement to the public
that your punishment is not why I'm in therapy,
netizens will try to find out the reason I'm in therapy.
That's why I have been looking for excuses.
If I may know,
why are you in therapy?
Actually…
it does have something to do with your grave-digging reflection.
Are you… traumatized?
No.
Are you depressed?
No.
Are you
hurting people?
No.
Then what is going on?
This is just between us, okay?
After the reflection exercise, I never fought again.
But…
the thought of digging graves is so comforting to me.
It doesn't mean I want to die,
but the smell of dirt and graveyard flowers,
or being in a place shaped like a grave
is uplifting and makes me happy.
Since then,
I've been going to different graveyards every week.
Just to take a nap, or hang out.
Even my bed is shaped like…
If I don't do it, does it make me sad or depressed?
No, it doesn't. I feel normal.
Is my habit causing any trouble to people?
No. I go to graveyards alone
when I need some comfort, when I need to feel happy,
when I need a boost for work.
But since it's an unusual habit,
I went to Mrs. Tunggul for counseling
to find out if this is normal.
But I'm not ready to reveal all of this in a clarification video.
The netizens could ruin my life because they'd think I'm creepy.
How am I supposed to apply for jobs or continue my studies
if I was known on the internet as "The Grave Lover."
But please, don't let this burden you.
Your reflection has done me more good than I can imagine.
This is just a personal thing.
The school board is asking Gora to say only these two things:
First, that he's not traumatized.
Second, his therapy has nothing to do with Mrs. Prani's punishment.
The netizens will investigate and find out what he's going through.
It will ruin his life.
I don't understand. Is Gora in therapy because he's hurt? No, he's not.
Because he's hurting people? No. Then what is it?
Some things are not to be shared, sir.
If you, as the Principal, force people to share private matters,
your own student, no less,
how are we different from those netizens?
Then what's your solution?
The root of the problem is that I didn't ask for permission
when I gave Gora that reflection exercise.
This is between me, the school, and the school board.
And Gora is not obliged to clarify anything to the public.
Gora gave his testimony to the public.
Now he has to make a clarification to the public as well.
We will be throwing him into a pit of assumptions and speculations.
He could say he's in therapy to consult about his career, for example.
I will never ask my students to lie.
But this clarification is needed.
Who needs it?
Those who'll be enrolling in this school!
The school board is pressuring me.
What comes up when we look up our school on the internet?
Graveyards.
Gora's face as a scary skull.
Parents don't want to enroll their kids here
thinking we have a psychopath as a teacher.
All of us here…
We don't want to lose you.
I still need you to be the Vice Principal.
Gora?
I talked with the Principal and he agreed.
You don't have to make a public clarification.
Really?
Is it really okay?
Sorry the Principal put you in that spot without asking if you're willing
to make a public statement.
Yes, so I'm all done for today?
Yes, Gora.
Okay, thank you.
But I want to tell you something.
I resigned from this school.
I will clarify it now.
- I'll do it now. - Wait, Gora.
I did this, right? Did you get fired?
I'll make the clarification. I'll think of something to say.
If you lie,
it means you have learned nothing from me.
Maybe I haven't.
- Why did you quit from Ink Echoes? - They only care about profits,
without thinking about what it'll do to others.
That's exactly why I'm leaving this school.
I caused all this! It's all my fault!
If I hadn't recommended you the coconut cakes, this wouldn't have…
If I'd never worked for Ink Echoes… I'm sorry, ma'am.
Goddamn Ink Echoes! Goddamn netizens!
You know nothing!
Asshole!
- Gora. - I'm an idiot!
My son, Muklas, gives healing advice to people.
People used to listen to him.
But he lied and pretended that I'm not his mom,
so the netizens don't trust him anymore.
It's not fair!
Asshole!
Let's try together. I haven't tried any of his methods.
This may be my last reflection exercise for you.
Muklas said
that when the world gets too noisy,
we should cover our ears…
and listen to our heartbeat.
Let's close our eyes for a moment.
Listen to our heartbeat.
Take a deep, slow breath.
Be grateful…
for today.
Mrs. Prani…
I wish you nothing but the best.
We can still hang out and eat chicken soup together.
Are you taking these souvenirs from the students?
- Ma'am, are you taking these? - Of course.
Thank you.
- I'll get the others. - Okay.
Can I borrow this batik cloth? I'll return it soon.
No, you keep it.
Since yesterday,
your student, Boni,
kept calling the school.
He would like to see you and return the library's air freshener.
I told him this was your last day at school,
that he could leave the air freshener with me.
But he insisted on coming here and walking you home.
Stand up!
Greetings!
Good afternoon, Mrs. Prani.
One, two, three.
Slowly now.
Are you taking your ring light?
No, Dad, just leave it.
CHICKEN NOODLES ORANGE DRINK - MEATBALLS
- A portion of meatballs to go. - All right.
Meatball?
