MOODY
Mudi, a natural-born dancer who can communicate with the spirit world, and his old mother live completely alone on a tiny tropical island in Indonesia. The price they have to pay for this “paradise” is extreme isolation. Their relationship is tense and they both find escape in music. As the rainy season is coming, they have to face new challenges. Will they find a way to get closer to each other?
