Ballingschap

Ballingschap is a film honouring one of the visionaries behind Indonesian independence: a founding father who lived under many names, never became a father himself, and left as his legacy the country that would become home to hundreds of millions of his fellow Indonesians.

It explores his sacrifices in love and in life, as well as his unyielding vision of a nation long before it came into being.

An Indonesian revolutionary thinker, his life unfolded through exile, disguise, and a fierce belief in freedom. Drawing on the textures of his writing and the political storms of his era, the film follows a man repeatedly pushed beyond the borders of his homeland and asks what it costs to imagine a country before it exists.
