In the deserted hills of an Indonesian island, Marlina, a young widow, is attacked and robbed of all her livestock by a gang of bandits. She defends herself, setting out on a journey to find justice. But the road is long, especially when she begins to be haunted by the ghost of her victim.

A deliciously pulpy revenge story with a patriarchy-defying, machete-wielding protagonist, Marlina is a feminist genre film that’s guaranteed to surprise you! The Indonesian landscape is infused with the atmosphere of a western, as cinematic references merge with new inventions to stunning effect.
