In Sumatra’s Gayo highlands, coffee isn’t just a crop—it’s a living spell. This film reveals how an ancient mantra and an unbreakable bond with the earth transform a humble brew into a source of hope, tradition, and spiritual wisdom.
An intimate portrait of Torajan coffee and its fading cultural heritage. The film invites us to reflect on the deeper meaning of coffee as memory, land, and a promise that must be preserved.
