Synopsis :
The Arsonist involves the struggles of an undocumented immigrant family
and a boy's coming-of-age. The son Kesuma must forge his own identity against the
intimidating presence of his father Kakang, a man proud of his Javanese heritage and well
aware of the social inequalities that allow his exploitation. Kakang counteracts by
torching the property of those who slight him, leaving Kesuma simultaneously proud,
fearful and ashamed. A clash of wills is all but inevitable. The film climaxes in a
poignant conflagration, literal and metaphorical.
