Ridho, a motorcycle taxi man, saves Putri, a high school student, in an accident. Putri, who is arrogant and snobbish, falls in love with Ridho. They marry, but then find a hard life that leads them to despair. Their shortcut to wealth requires Ridho to become a "babi ngepet" (black magic that transforms a person into a swine demon used to steal money) while Putri becomes the watcher of the candle (that indicates when the person is about to regain his human form).

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
