Larut

Larut is a fictional work retelling of the Indonesian folklore and mythological figure, Nyi Roro Kidul.

Having lost her home and her family's trust due to her stepmother’s schemes, Kandita finds herself struggling alone on the beach marking the edge of the South Sea.

There, she meets her savior, the eternally kind and loving Queen of the Southern Sea who takes her in and grants her a position as the Queen’s lady-in-waiting.

Eternally grateful for the Queen’s kindness and generosity, Kandita promises to devote her whole life to her savior. However, in this dog-eat-dog world society, a frail and naive lady like her must learn to adapt or lose everything yet again.
