Hendro mengendarai sepeda motor bersama temannya Teguh untuk mengunjungi pamannya yang rumahnya terletak di daerah terpencil, beberapa jam dari kota. Hendro, yang sudah belasan tahun tidak bertemu pamannya, nyaris lupa jalan menuju ke sana. Mereka berputar-putar tanpa tahu arah yang benar. Ketika mereka sampai di sebuah pohon besar, Hendro teringat kata-kata pamannya; pernah terjadi pembantaian massal di sana.
Hendro is driving his motorbike with his friend Teguh to visit his uncle which his home is located in a remote area, a few hours from the city. Hendro, who had not seen his uncle for dozens of years, nearly forgot the road to get there. They drove around in circles having no idea where the right direction is. When they reached a large tree, Hendro remembered his uncle’s words; there had been a mass slaughter in the past.
