Sinopsis

Galura Tropikalia Alive
Blurring the borders between live session and cinema, Galura Tropikalia Alive transforms the surf-rock music of The Panturas into a hallucinatory journey through West Java. The film follows a young couple whose faltering relationship unfolds through six surreal episodes, each intertwined with live performance. Blending myth, absurdism, and local folklore with vibrant rhythm and tropical intensity, the film becomes a portrait of love, loss, and reconciliation in a fever dream of sound and story.
