The Lost Boys Club

Rini drives her younger brother Dika to school, but he asks to be dropped far from the gate—ashamed of her battered motorbike, and of the fact that she sells cakes for a living. What he doesn’t admit is the real reason: he’s sulking over his faded shoes, no longer black, which earned him a reprimand from his teacher. At his school, black shoes are the rule. The argument between them flares. As he storms off, Dika throws out a final barb: that he lives on his own. He doesn’t know it yet—but it will be the last time he sees his sister.

With Amir and Candra by his side, Dika struggles to escape the school’s backyard, which unfolds into a boundless, strange realm with no clear exit.

Amir finds an enigmatic object: a tree that stores every piece of his belongings. Dika and Candra are bewildered, but the answers come soon enough—only at a price too great to bear.

After Amir’s disappearance, Dika and Candra must find their own tree—the only way back to the real world. Yet no matter how long they search, the forest holds far too many trees.

In the end, Amir finds his own tree, but he hesitates—torn between staying in this enchanted reality or returning home to apologize to his sister, Rini.
