Pak Atan and Mak Inom are a sixty-year-old retired couple; they are
tired of living in the city and jump at the chance to go back and live
in the country after Pak Atan inherits his father's house. Things seem
to go well for the eccentric and serene couple - fresh air, lush
greenery, nice neighbors - until things start to take an unexpected
turn. Pat Akan and Mak Inom are forced to rethink their ideas about the
country and the city.
"One could think that I shot Rabun in a boring way, without moving the
camera and using a theatrical perspective. The reason is that since it
was my first time directing, I was curious to see if the emotion of a
scene could be effective without using close-ups, shots or reverse shots
and rapid editing cuts" (Y. Ahmad).
