Hardjono, a ketoprak performer whose art is a calling of the soul, is faced with an unavoidable situation. He tells his story through a letter to his beloved. Friends and neighbors come urging him to flee, as the leader of his ketoprak troupe has already been arrested. But Hardjono stands firm. Soldiers and a mob arrive to take him away, leaving a trail of blood on the floor of his home.
