Plot

Karang, a Muslim man, is well known among the locals for creating a learning and social space for children. One day, he takes the children on a cruise, which fails to face a thunderstorm-induced wave and sinks. Karang, disturbed by the children's agony, escapes by jumping off. He experiences intense survivor guilt, which strains his relationship with a woman named Kinarsih.

Karang leaves the city for a private villa of the HK family at a remote town. He is tasked to treat Melati, a girl whose ability to interact is affected by severe head trauma. Karang shouts on her ear when she is unable to follow commands, aggressing her when she still does not. Mr. MK, Melati's father deems Karang abusive, and Karang repeatedly leaves and re-enters the job, uncertain on his will to cure Melati. Exposed as an alcoholic, Mr. MK permanently bans Karang shortly before flying to Frankfurt for his business as an airline CEO. His wife Mrs. MK secretly gives Karang a chance after Melati is able to eat with cutlery, and through teamwork does Melati show more progress. Upon return, Mr. MK sees Karang to his shock, but compliments him after Melati is able to speak when a word is written in her hand.

The family bring Karang on a holiday at an island. On the way home, a car has a near collision with their bus, clinging it at the edge of a bridge. Karang does a weight distribution initiative, but the bus flips and falls into the river. Everyone survives; Karang opined that this time, everyone survives because of his belief that Allah will not test His children beyond their limitations. 20 years later, Karang is a businessman married to Kinarsih with three children. Melati is able to interact using the Indonesian Sign Language and graduates college.
