Kuncen

Kuncen is a Javanese-language drama and mystery film produced by Avikom Films, scheduled for theatrical release on August 20, 2026. The film centers on Darus, a 62-year-old river guardian who maintains traditional rituals as a form of reciprocity with nature. When a child goes missing in the river, the local community calls on him for help. His advancing age and a deteriorating relationship with the river — one that now causes him physical and psychological distress — prevent him from going near it. The narrative turns on this dilemma: whether Darus acts to find the missing child or withdraws to protect himself.
