"In a quiet, traditional Acehnese village, young Amri stands inside his grandfather’s traditional blacksmith forge. The air is thick with the scent of charcoal and hot metal as Nyak Abdullah carefully crafts a traditional rencong. Amri eagerly watches the blade take shape, believing it will be his ticket to settle petty disputes, completely unaware of the deep responsibility that comes with it."
