SYNOPSIS
Bicara tentang Bali, anda akan membayangkan matahari terbenam yang indah, orang-orang yang ramah, budaya dan adat yang menarik, serta sawah yang subur. Namun, Bali yang identik dengan gemerlap pariwisata menyimpan banyak problematika mendasar. Hutan terakhir Bali yang menjadi tumpuan air bersih di Jembrana, tengah dijamah oleh warganya sendiri. Kini mereka hidup dalam keresahan menghadapi ancaman kekurangan air kala musim kemarau, juga was-was akan bencana banjir di musim hujan. Hal ini bahkan luput dari perhatian masyarakat Bali sendiri.
Melalui perjalanan Wayan Restu sebagai salah satu petugas air di desa, kami menelusuri dan menengok kegiatannya selama beberapa hari di hutan. Lewat film ini kami mencoba menghadirkan nuansa hutan yang masih asri, warna dedaunan hijau yang menawan, pohon-pohon raksasa, kicauan suara burung dan gemericik air yang menemani sepanjang perjalanan.
Meski bahaya mengancam di tiap sudutnya, perjalanan Wayan Restu adalah perjalanan yang secara jujur menangkap apapun yang ada di dalam hutan, baik keasrian, serta kerentanannya.
Di akhir perjalanan, Wayan Restu menyiratkan gaung harapan melalui bibit-bibit yang ditanam bersama sejumlah anak di tengah hutan yang tergerus oleh perambahan yang kian hari kian parah.
ENG
Talking about Bali, you will visualize a beautiful sunset, nice friendly people, enticing culture and rituals, and picturesque rice fields. But, Bali, which is well known for its sparkling tourism, has many basic problems. The last forest of Bali, which is also the source of clean water in Jembrana, is being encroached by its own people. Now they live in fear facing the threat of water shortages during the dry season, and wary of floods in the rainy season. The worst part is, that this has even escaped the attention of the Balinese peoples themselves.
Through Wayan Restu's journey as one of the water officers in the village, we explored and observed his activities for several days in the forest. Through this film, we try to present the sense of a forest that is still magnificent with charming green leaves color, breathtaking giant trees, the non-stop chirping of birds and the calming gurgling of water that accompany the journey.
Although danger threatens at every corner, Wayan Restu's journey is a journey that captures honestly whatever is in the forest, both its beauty, and its vulnerability.
At the end of the trip, Wayan Restu conveyed an echo of hope through the seeds that were planted with a number of children in the middle of the forest eroded by encroachment which was getting worse day by day.
