Seven years. One family. A forest disappearing in real time.Growing up in a forest that has always been her family’s lifeline, Nande, a young Orang Rimba girl witnesses her father’s resistance against the encroaching palm oil industry, trying to protect their land and way of life. As time passes, economic hardship leaves the family with no choice but to open part of the forest for palm oil farming, a painful compromise for survival. The very land that sustained them for generations is transformed, forcing her to confront the tension between tradition, survival, and the uncertain future awaiting her child.
Over seven years, the film follows Nande’s journey through visits from 2018 to 2025, documenting the gradual transformation of her family’s life and environment. On the filmmaker’s last visit in January 2025, Nande’s family moved closer to the village, though still within the forest. However, the once-thriving landscape has now been overtaken by palm oil plantations, leaving oil cultivation as their only means for survival.
