In the heart of a small Indonesian village, where traditions pulse with both beauty and danger, lies the ancient art of Lengger dance, a mesmerizing form of performance worshipped for its vibrant storytelling and cultural significance. Tarian Lengger Maut follows 20-year-old Nia, a spirited and determined young woman whose life is forever altered when she discovers her late grandmother’s secret connection to this mystical art. As the village prepares for its annual festival, a chilling legend resurfaces—one that speaks of dancers who make a pact with malevolent spirits, compelling them to perform until their last breath.

Nia’s journey begins when she stumbles upon a forbidden ritual hidden deep within the forest, where an enigmatic guardian named Raka, a skilled dancer marked by his tragic past, reveals the dark truth behind the Lengger dance.
