All language subtitles for Laskar Pelangi - The.Rainbow.Troops

BASED ON A NOVEL BY ANDREA HIRATA

They call me Ikal, I'm from Belitung.

These pictures are indisputable proof

that Belitung is one of
the richest islands in Indonesia.

An island overflowing with tin

that tempted other nations to come

and take over
all of the island's resources.

Even after this country gained
its independence,

people of Belitung still couldn't enjoy
their own natural wealth

without the walls of bureaucracy.

The walls that diminish opportunities
and hope.

But those walls could never break
our spirit.

Especially the spirit
of a poor coastal kid

who later grew up
to be the most extraordinary person

I've ever met in my life.

Have you gotten permission from work
to take Ikal?

Yes, I took a half-day off.

I hope there are ten students.

I want Ikal to learn about Islam
from Mr. Harfan.

Just wear it, Ikal. You'll look beautiful.

Hey! Stop teasing your brother.

Ikal, just wear it for now.

If I get some money,
I'll buy you better shoes.

I'll get going. Let's go, Ikal.

Give my regards to Mr. Harfan!

USE SAFETY HELMETS

Where are you going? Are you taking him
to that crumbling school?

The only definite thing about that school
is its roof will collapse!

Hey, there's no use in studying!
He'll end up as a coolie, anyway.

That morning, ten became a sacred number
for everyone.

-Mom, I'm heading off to school.
-Okay.

-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you, too.

Kucai! Let's go to school!

Sahara is attending school now?

-What's your name, kid?
-I'm Lintang from Tanjung Kelumpang.

-I want to go to school.
-Oh my God.

You rode a bicycle by yourself
all the way here?

My father has to go fishing.
He can't come.

Now, leave your bicycle over there.

Hopefully you can go to school.

-Peace be upon you, Mr. Harfan!
-Peace be upon you, too.

Who are you bringing, Muslimah?

The first student, sir.

Lintang, a coastal kid.

I'm confident
we will get ten students today.

Good morning, Mr. Zul.

MUHAMMADIYAH GANTONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

-What's your name?
-Hey, get inside.

-What's your name?
-A Kiong.

Ten will become an important number

not only for these
two extraordinary teachers,

-Peace be upon you.
-Mr. Harfan and Ms. Muslimah.

Just one more student.

But also for us.

Poor children could afford to go to school
in one of Indonesia's richest islands.

Today will also determine

whether these children
will get some education

or immediately become coolies

and workers at PN Timah.

Your shoes are pretty, Ikal.

Dad, this kid smells of sunburn.

Hush.

Meanwhile, on the other side of that wall,

we knew PN Timah Elementary
was filled with new students.

Monday is Batik Day.

On Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday,

you'll wear the white and blue uniform.

We'll wait until eleven o'clock, okay?

Okay.

For us, we need ten students
or we won't have a class at all.

That was written on the warning letter
from the Central Education Observer.

It's already past
eleven o'clock, Muslimah.

We have to tell the parents
and their children.

What's the difference
between nine or ten students?

We can still teach them, right?

Yes, but you know what this means.

Peace be upon you.

-Peace be upon you, too.
-Peace be upon you, too.

Praise be to God

because your presence here today

will help save the education

of the oldest Islamic elementary school
in Belitung.

A school based on character

to uphold akhlakul karimah,

which is having good moral qualities.

However,

if we couldn't get ten new students,

then we can't open a new class.

We all should accept this wholeheartedly.

Wait, sir. Let me find one more student.

Muslimah!

Sorry, excuse me.

Muslimah!

Today's supposed to be my first day
as a teacher, sir!

-There's no way the students--
-Harun! That's Harun!

Harun! That's Harun!

Harun!

Harun!

Harun!

A very special boy had saved us

and put a big smile
on Ms. Muslimah's face.

And that smile will change
along with other things,

and will accompany us
for the next few years.

The years that will never be forgotten.

FIVE YEARS LATER

Hey, Syahdan! Be careful!

This is how a man's body should be, Ikal.

Like this.

See, like Samson, right?

Call me Samson from now on.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

If you want to have a sculpted chest
like mine,

this is the secret.

-What's that, Rek?
-Samson!

Okay. What's that, Samson?

Take off your shirt first.

I'll make you into a real man
who's adored by the ladies.

Hey, this is an exceptional secret.
Quick take off your shirt now.

It hurts! Enough! You're crazy!

Not yet! Hold it a little bit more!

-Kucai!
-Let's play again!

Again, Kucai!

Later!

Hey, we have to go to class!

I could get scolded again!

MUHAMMADIYAH GANTONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

What's wrong with this watch?

Bakri! Where are the children?

We have to go to the class,
otherwise I could get scolded again.

-Enough.
-Hey, kids.

Let's get into class!

-It's my turn!
-No!

-Hey!
-Syahdan! Hey!

Enough! Stop!

-Get in!
-I'm first.

Kucai! Get over here!

-Hey!
-Don't!

Kucai, you're the class president!

Your job is to help me gather your friends
to get to the class.

Miss, you have to know
that these coolie kids are all brats.

I'm sick of handling them.

-I quit being the class president.
-Hey, kids!

Who wants to hear the story of Noah,

the creator of the biggest ark
known to mankind?

-Me!
-Me!

Kucai, being a leader
is a noble task. Okay?

Hey, Kucai. The Quran said

that a leader will be held accountable
for his actions later in the afterlife.

Those who didn't believe in God
had been warned

that a great flood would come.

But arrogance had blinded their eyes

and deafened their ears.

And eventually,

they were swept away by the waves.

So, if you don't pray diligently,
you should know how to swim.

Your big muscles are useless
if you can't swim.

...that God has shown...

Do the ablutions correctly
and in the right order.

-God is the greatest.
-God is the greatest.

God hears whoever praises Him.

God is the greatest.

God is the greatest.

Pancasila.

-Pancasila.
-Pancasila.

-One, belief in the One and Only God.
-One, belief in the One and Only God.

-Two, a just and civilized humanity.
-Two, a just and civilized humanity.

-Three, a unified Indonesia.
-Three, a unified Indonesia.

-Four, democracy led by the wisdom
-Four, democracy led by the wisdom

-of the representatives of the People.
-of the representatives of the People.

-Five, social justice for all Indonesians.
-Five, social justice for all Indonesians.

MISERY TO THE PEOPLE?

"We don't need a leader
who could only mobilize people."

Dad!

Hey, Dad's home!

I'll be going now.

Did you wet your pants?

I'm heading off to school, Dad.

MUHAMMADIYAH GANTONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Ikal, look at all this! Help them!

Rek, get them out!

Muslimah, take the kids
to learn outside, okay?

Let us clean it together, sir.

Go. Bakri can help me later.

Just go, okay?

The old belongs with the old.

Oma.

-Is it sweet, miss?
-It's sweet.

Syahdan, do you know
why this fruit taste fresh?

Where are we going, miss?

-Peace be upon you, Mr. Harfan!
-Peace be upon you, too.

-Thank you!
-You're welcome. Bye.

Hey, the sun came out! Come and catch me!

Lintang, wait!

Kucai, Ikal, where are you going?

A rainbow is formed from the light
that came from the sky

when the sun shines on the raindrops.

It creates those seven rays.

Red, orange, yellow,

green, blue, indigo and violet.

ROYGBIV.

-"ROYGBIV"?
-"ROYGBIV"?

Rainbow Troops! Let's go home!

-Rainbow Troops?
-Rainbow Troops?

-Yes, miss!
-Yes, miss!

-Ms. Hamidah!
-Hey, Muslimah! How's my blouse?

You said I could get it today.

Oh, yes. Sorry, it's almost done.
I just need to sew on the buttons.

I'm concerned about you, Harfan.

I've seen you defending this school
for five years.

I can only help with--

Zul, all this time,
you've been helping us more than that.

Don't worry.

Bakri, Muslimah,
and I could still stick it out

with the ten students
that God has given us.

But they're already in the fifth grade.

Next year, they'll be sixth graders.

There will be no more students after them.

And there are only three teachers here.

I don't understand
how you can keep this school running.

The cost and the salary.

Zul, in this school,

religion and moral lesson
aren't merely subsidiary

in the curriculum.

Intelligence is not merely determined
from grades.

Not from those numbers

but from the heart, Zul.

Careful.

Look at yourself, Zul.
Where did you get that sense of caring?

Usually, when someone
is in a comfortable position,

have the power and lots of money,
they become arrogant.

They only want more power,

more wealth,

and they will get them by all means.

If possible,

they would take this country's wealth
just for themselves and their families.

But not you, Zul.

Because you were educated

in the same kind of school in Yogyakarta.

So, this school can't be closed down.

Okay. I'll try my best to help.

Widi will bring some rice tomorrow.

For all of you.

Hopefully that will be enough
for two months.

Thank you.

-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you, too.

A crocodile again?

What do you know about crocodiles?

They move very fast
within short distances, Ikal.

Even outside of water.

Their jaws are very strong.

They could bite something
with immense strength.

Even stronger than white sharks.

I'm confused. How did you know so much?

I read it in the newspaper.

Have you drawn the pictures
and taken notes?

Okay, then.
Study this Belitung map carefully.

-Peace be upon you, kids.
-Peace be upon you, Mr. Bakri.

-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you, Ms. Muslimah.

Good morning, kids.

In this morning's math class,

I'll teach you how to use the calculator.

Each of you will get one calculator.

Flo, help me distribute the calculators
to your friends.

Now, we'll start our math class.
Take out your sticks.

Ikal, yours are nicer.

Come on, stop it. A Kiong!

Go back. Sit on your chair.

I'll read out the question.

What does twelve plus four,
times negative five equal to?

Count it now.

Negative 80.

Good job, coastal boy. That's correct.

Harun, so you have three kittens now?

They are tricolored

-and were born on the third?
-Yes.

-One, two, three.
-You're good at counting now.

Your big ears will grow as big
as elephants' ears, Mahar.

What's playing on your radio, Mahar?

You're asking what song is playing?

Lots of awesome music. It's awesome.

Listen to this.

This is called jazz music.

Jazz music.

The music for intelligent people.

You don't get it.

-Peace be upon you. Muslimah.
-Peace be upon you, too.

How are you, Mr. Mahmud?

I'm good,
but I'm actually worried about you.

Why did you decline that teaching offer
from PN Elementary, Muslimah?

What are you looking for in a school
that's on the verge of collapsing?

It's obvious that the students
won't have a bright future.

That offer still stands, Muslimah.

I can talk to--

Sorry, Mr. Mahmud.
My diligent students are waiting in class.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, too.

-Merauke.
-Here.

-Dili.
-Here!

-Kendari.
-Here.

Lenggang. Harun, where's Lenggang?

Where is it?

Correct. You're smart, Harun!

I'll be going home, sir.

-Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you, too.

There's nothing we can do now, Muslimah.

This letter from the South Sumatra
School Supervisor clearly stated that

we have to merge with PN Elementary School

for next week's final test.

Muslimah.

You shouldn't feel burdened

just because your dad
is in that picture with me.

For the last two months,

your salary and Bakri's salary
haven't been paid.

Muslimah.

You're still young

and beautiful.

Why did you decline
Haji Mahdun's son's proposal?

You could've become
a merchant's wife in Java now.

And leave you here with Bakri?

My dream is not to become
a merchant's wife, sir.

My dream is to become a teacher.

And you're the one who believes
that I could be one.

We went through various problems
for the last five years.

But we got through them, right?

And I'm still earning money
from being a tailor.

Praise be to God.

Why, miss? We usually take the test here.

Our clothes and sandals are shabby, miss.

What would the students
of PN Elementary say?

Why are they wearing sandals to an exam?

Don't look at the test paper yet.

Watch over the children, sir.

PN TIMAH ELEMENTARY

Time's up.

Sir, I forgot to separate
Harun's test paper.

-Come here.
-What is it?

He drew a cat instead.

A cat.

I don't like it, sir.
They're looking down on Harun.

Don't think about it too much, Muslimah.

Just prepare the children's report card
and let them take a vacation.

Don't you also need a vacation?

Miss.

-We'll take a vacation soon, okay?
-Okay.

Will you make a special report card
for Harun again?

Yes, sir.

NO TRESPASSING, EXPLOITATION AREA

Look at this. There's still a lot.

Syahdan! Mine's sold out!

My wife wants to eat ilak fish.

She said it's delicious.

The Asmat people live deep
in the Western New Guinea jungle.

They are tough river explorers
and also fine dancers.

Look at this.

Do you have a lot of magazines like this?

I have plenty.

You can have this one.

Hey, what are you doing here? Go away!

Thank you.

Does anybody know the answer?

Three hundred and thirteen!

Correct.

The troops of 313 Muslims
successfully defeated

thousands of armed Quraysh soldiers.

My dear children,
power is formed by faith,

not by the number of soldiers.

So, please keep that in mind.

Hold on to your beliefs.

You need to have perseverance.

You need to have a strong will
to achieve your dreams.

You need to have courage

and do not ever give up
when you're facing any obstacles.

And remember...

Live to give as much as you can,

not to take as much as you can.

That's enough for today.

Sir, can I have a word with you?

Whose turn is it to buy the chalk?

We've ran out of it.

We're so unlucky.

We have to go far away
just to buy some chalk.

All the way to Manggar.

If we haven't met a crocodile on the way,
it's not that far away, Ikal.

My hair will eventually
be like Mr. Harfan's.

It will turn completely gray.

It's not that the hair turns gray.

The color of hair is originally white.

All this time, hair is coated
with black substance.

It will fade away over time

and goes back to white.

I got an offer to teach
at Bangka 1 Elementary School.

You have no problem leaving Muhammadiyah?

Bakri.

This is a tough job.

And we only have a few students.

But we're responsible to provide education
for these poor children.

Muslimah.

No one wants to enroll
their children here anymore.

They think it's better
if their children become coolies

to provide for their families.

But this is the only Islamic school
in Belitung.

Have you ever thought
about why this is the only one, Muslimah?

Because nobody cares anymore, Muslimah.

For the past five years,
this school couldn't open new classes.

And why is that, Muslimah?

There are no more students.
Who else would go here?

What else is there to be proud of?

Except for its name,
Muhammadiyah Elementary.

What has this school achieved, Muslimah?

Bakri.

Muslimah can't teach all the subjects
by herself.

The children will soon be sixth graders.

Don't you at least want to stay

and guide them until they've graduated?

Wait for a while.

Yes, but the offer from Bangka Elementary
won't wait for me, sir.

Muslimah!

Muslimah.

Muslimah, don't be mad.

Be patient.

No, sir.

I'm not mad.

I think

Bakri had a point.

No one cares about our school, sir.

No one believes

that poor children also have the right
to get an education.

Yes.

The important thing is we...

We shouldn't give up.

Our job is to convince these students

that they should dare to dream.

Yes, sir.

We both have to work harder, sir.

So that people will believe
that this school exists

and is worth fighting for.

We both have to work harder, sir.

Much harder.

-I'll be going.
-Yes.

-Take the book tomorrow, okay?
-Okay.

-Wait for me there, okay?
-Sure.

SINAR HARAPAN STORE

-No. That's the wholesale price.
-Can you lower it?

-No. Ask the store on that corner.
-Come on, 175.

-They're selling it at 250.
-I'm buying a lot.

-Yes, that's--
-Sir.

I'm from Muhammadiyah Elementary.

Ms. Muslimah asked me to get the chalks.

A Ling!
Chalks for Muhammadiyah Elementary.

No can do.
If you want it, I'll wrap it now.

-I'm buying a lot.
-Hey.

Tell Ms. Muslimah the bill for chalks
should be paid by next month.

-It's okay if you don't want it.
-Please lower the price.

That's the wholesale price.
Just check the store on that corner.

-One hundred and seventy-five.
-No can do.

-One hundred and seventy-five, please.
-No. That's already cheap.

Hey, don't forget the bill.

I just saw the most beautiful nails
in this world.

Have you even traveled around the world?

Yes!

You weirdo.

I DON'T NEED TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD

Wait, A Kiong!

This is an exceptional secret, A Kiong!
Wait a minute!

Hey, wait a minute, Kucai!

-I'm first!
-No! It's me!

Hey, Syahdan.

Harun, come here!

Harun!

Hey.

Hey, aside from western music,
Malay music is also good.

It's no use talking to him.
He is intoxicated by nails.

I've seen something much more beautiful
than your music, Mahar.

What is it? Where is it?

The most beautiful nails
in the dirty Sinar Harapan store.

Have you lost your mind, Ikal?

It seems like you're falling in love.

Love doesn't need much thinking.

There are only beauty
and blooming flowers.

Let's arrange some lotus flower

The lotus flower

Hair embellishment for a young lady

A young lady

-How much is this?
-Muslimah?

What are you buying?

I'm just getting a few buttons.

You bought a lot of stuff, Ms. Fatimah.

For PN Elementary's
marching band uniforms.

It's almost Independence Day.

There will be a carnival contest.
They need to make new uniforms.

The defending champion
always has to look their best, Muslimah.

-I'll be going. Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you, too.

Muslimah, I'm off.

Kids, Mr. Harfan and I have decided

that we're going to participate
in this year's carnival!

I noticed that Mahar always gets
the highest score in art.

I want him to be the group leader

and he's in charge of deciding
the art performance

that we will show on the carnival.

Do you agree, Mahar?

Everyone else agrees?

-We agree, miss!
-We agree, miss!

Mahar, I need to remind you
that we have no funds.

Don't worry about that, sir.

Just leave it to me and the mother nature.

Miss!

I'm ready if you want to send me
to buy some chalk!

From now on,
I'll go and buy the chalk at Manggar.

Harun, here's some chalk
you can play with at home!

-You're too much, Ikal.
-Come on.

I want you to come, Lintang.
A round-trip from Gantong and Manggar.

Mahar, go with him to Manggar.

I think you understand his problem
more than me.

No worries.

I actually need to get some ideas
for the carnival.

Hop on.

-We're going to Manggar!
-Let's go!

-Sir, white tea.
-Okay, wait a minute.

Don't worry.

Poems written by people in love
are all great.

Don't be shy.

Send this to Cikong's coffee shop! Hurry!

Our class was flooded, sir.
The chalks were soaking wet.

A Ling, chalks
for Muhammadiyah Elementary!

This will look pretty
when wrapped in gift paper.

Yes!

You're really falling for her.

Don't hug me.

A Kiong!

Really, A Kiong? A Ling is your cousin?

Help me meet her.

Please, A Kiong. She's driving me crazy.

This Sunday,
they're actually going to visit my house.

-For a family gathering.
-This Sunday, A Kiong?

A Ling will come to Gantong?

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

The best Gangan soup is with ilak fish.

Why did you buy the round fish?

It's the only one available at the market.
They're all the same, anyway.

You're the only one
who can tell the difference.

Oma.

Men can't even buy the right fish.

Five minutes.

Ikal, don't go for too long.
A Ling's dad is really strict.

-You don't like my poems?
-They're really good.

I've copied them all to my diary.

You keep the original, okay?

I think Ms. Muslimah...

chose the wrong leader.

-Has he gone mad?
-I think he's possessed.

Does anyone know where Mahar is?

If he's not on the tree out front,

maybe he's perched somewhere else, miss.

He wants to become an owl, miss.

I know what we should perform
at the carnival.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your shirt.

What are we supposed to be, Mahar?
We look crazy.

They look great.

We'll watch the performance
of Batu Penyu 1 Elementary School

with their boy scout march!

Let's give them a round of applause!

Let's welcome decorated bicycles
from Jangka Raja Elementary School.

-We'll wait here.
-We present to you

our defending champion,

the marching band
from PN Timah Elementary School.

-Where are you going, Mahar?
-Getting our secret weapon.

-Miss, I want to watch the marching band.
-Be careful.

Salute!

Trust me. Wear this, Rek,
and you'll dance better.

Our new contestant this year,

Muhammadiyah Gantong Elementary School!

-Mahar!
-Mahar!

Give a round applause for
Muhammadiyah Gantong Elementary School!

Hey, it's amazing
that you won guys the carnival!

Next year, make a new dance
and win it again!

-Is that all?
-Yes.

Muslimah, I was so happy
to see those people from PN

became speechless yesterday.

I hope my child will be accepted
at your school next year.

-Hopefully, ma'am.
-She dances well.

If possible, defeat them again
in the quiz tournament.

-Yes.
-I'll be going.

-Peace be upon you, Muslimah.
-Peace be upon you, too.

-Mr. Mahmud.
-Muslimah.

-What's that, miss?
-I think it's from the Central Observer.

Thank you, Lintang.

That looks great, right?

It does, right?

Flo!

Flo!

Flo!

Flo!

Flo!

Where did that rich kid go?
Why would she go to the forest?

Let's look over there. Come on.

Flo!

Flo!

Flo!

That kid sure is weird.

Not weird. Different.

After she got lost in the forest,

her dad has gotten so worried.

That's why,
they give her anything she wants now.

Including transferring to this school.

So, I hope the two of you

would accept her

and help her.

What were you looking for in the forest?

Why did you want to transfer here?

I like your dance at the carnival.

-That was really beautiful.
-Beautiful my foot.

The itchiness from that sugar palm fruit
lasted a week on my neck.

-I'll beat you up, Mahar!
-Calm down, Rek.

There's something mystical
about your dance.

-Mystical?
-Mystical?

What do you mean?

We got books!

Books!

-Hey.
-A Kiong!

We got books!

That's my book!

REGARDING SPIRITUALISM

ANIMAL WORLD

Hey, Mahar. Have you ever heard
about the Pirate Island?

That haunted island? What's there?

We both found a cave in the forest.
The cave of spirits.

The forest is so dense,
even sunlight couldn't get through.

I once found a giant-sized
prehistoric grave.

-A Chinese grave?
-No.

A giant's grave?

It must be a giant's grave.

People go there to meditate.

-What's wrong, Muslimah?
-I'm just a bit worried.

Flo's presence could bring some changes
to our children.

Don't be too worried, Muslimah.

The important thing is you guide them.

Sir.

Why do you look so pale?

I really don't understand.

All of your test scores are dropping.

Mahar, Flo.
Both of you have the lowest scores.

Don't you want to pass the test?

Miss, we have to buy more chalks.

The shopkeeper also asked us
to pay our bills.

More chalks?
You haven't paid your last bill.

Ms. Muslimah said
we'll pay them all next week.

Lani, chalks for Muhammadiyah Elementary.

Lani?

Where's A Ling? Is she sick?

A Ling went to Jakarta to help her uncle.
Here you go.

MUHAMMADIYAH GANTONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

There's something for you.

From A Ling.

It's like you don't know
your own uncle, Muslimah.

He never goes to the clinic.

Maybe he needs to cut down
on coffee, Aunt.

I've told him so many times.

He drinks APC pills instead
when he has a cough.

There's only one medicine in Belitung.
The APC.

It's like the pill equals a doctor,
Muslimah.

He just needs some rest, Muslimah.

How are you, anyway?

Have you met a man yet?

Where's Mr. Jo, Dad?

Yong.

Take care of the little ones.
I'm going to the sea with Dad.

Go inside.

What are you doing?
You have school tomorrow.

Flo and I have decided.
We have to go to Pirate Island.

We have to meet Tuk Bayan Tula.

That's crazy! I'm not going.

There's no other way
if we want to graduate.

Tuk Bayan Tula is the only one
who could help us.

He's the most powerful shaman in Belitung.

He could even make Harun smart.

Don't you want to graduate?

Mahar, don't mix up your fantasies
with lies.

-I'm not lying.
-Pirate Island is a deserted island.

How do you know
Tuk Bayan Tula lives there?

As far as I know,
no one knows where he is.

I have the clues and proofs
that he's there.

Look at this.

Do you even pay attention
to our religion lesson every Tuesday?

That's deification!

Whatever. I'm not going. Who's with me?

Don't regret it later, Sahara!

Come with us.

Maybe Tuk Bayan Tula could help you
with your problems.

You and A Ling.

-It hurts.
-Mahar, ask Sarif to come with us.

I can't take it anymore.

A Kiong.

Tuk Bayan Tula! Let us in!

Let's just go back.
Maybe he doesn't accept visitors.

Maybe he's still eating or he's hungry.

Let's go, Mahar.

Tuk Bayan Tula! Let us in!

He better watch out if he read the spell
from Tuk Bayan Tula without us.

I'll punch him.

Don't worry, Rek.
Bayan Tula's instructions are clear.

We have to read the magic spell together
this morning.

If anyone disobeys him,
they will turn into a frog.

Hey.

We did it.

"If you want to be smart, go study.

If you want to be successful,
make an effort."

-There's no use.
-I'll strangle you, Mahar!

-Enough!
-I almost emptied my stomach

-because of the waves!
-Rek, don't!

Stop it! That message is right.

We're the stupid ones
looking for a shaman.

-Rek, don't!
-Stop.

Enough, Rek.

What is this, Lintang?

A picture of the Eiffel Tower, Ikal.

It's in Paris, the capital city of France.

Paris is the city for smart people, Ikal.
For great people.

Experts and artists

are all there.

They said Paris is also
the most beautiful city in the world.

A lot of people dream of going there.

This box is from A Ling.
What does it mean?

I'm sorry.

Why are you pondering?

Oh, my dear whose heart is confused

Why did you stop?

Your voice is more powerful
than Tuk Bayan Tula's advice.

Let's arrange the lotus flower

We've been going to school for five years
and that's our only valuable item?

If that's the case, Ms. Muslimah
and Mr. Harfan must be disappointed.

My dear children,
one thing you have to remember

is that you should never give up.

Live to give as much as you can,

not take as much as you can.

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

Sir, let's go home.

Sir?

Uncle?

Uncle!

Oh, my God.

Sir.

Thank you.

This is really shocking, Muslimah.

I...

I'm worried about you.

Now...

How could you teach them by yourself
in that school?

There's no need.

Separate them.

Ten each.

-I don't understand.
-Just try it!

Ikal.

Even though Mr. Harfan is gone,

he wouldn't want you to be sad like this.

Let's watch a movie tonight, okay?

I'm going to watch it.

-With the kids.
-I see.

You're going to watch it?

-I'm going in first.
-Sure, go ahead.

NO ENTRANCE FOR THOSE WITHOUT CLEARANCE

-Where are you going?
-What's left, Lintang?

Ms. Muslimah isn't here.
Where are our friends?

What kind of school is this?
No teacher and no students.

Come with me.

Ikal, my dad has four children.
Three of them are girls.

I'm the only boy and I'm the oldest.

I'm supposed to go fishing with him
so we could get more fish.

But he sent me here instead.

He wants me to pursue my dreams, Ikal.

We all need to have dreams.

And this school
is where that journey starts.

We have to keep on studying.

-Let's go!
-Let's go!

-Oh, my God, Harun. You're so lazy.
-Let's go to school.

The school has been closed down.

The Rainbow Troops have to go to school.

-Now?
-Yes.

I'm going to get my radio.

I'm sorry for coming without notice.

I heard from your aunt

that you haven't been teaching
for five days.

Yes, sir.

I'm still mourning.

-I also feel--
-Yes, I understand.

We surely belong to God
and to Him we shall return.

That's enough. Do you understand?

That's enough.

Muslimah.

The last time you uncle spoke to me,

I told him,

"Harfan, wouldn't it be better
if we close down Muhammadiyah Elementary?"

Do you know what your uncle said?

"Zul, this school
shouldn't be closed down.

Because this is the only school
that doesn't teach material pursuit.

Values and intelligence
couldn't be measured with numbers."

But with this, Muslimah.

With our heart.

You and your uncle have proven that.

Look at your extraordinary students.

They are amazing.

Sukarno was detained at Sukamiskin prison

on December 29, 1929,

because he established
the Indonesian National Party

with the intention
of liberating Indonesia.

The room was small and surrounded
by thick and murky walls.

It's high, dark, and full of bars.

It's worse than our leaky classroom.

But that's the place where he served
his time and he studied every day.

He read books all the time.

He's one of the smartest people
this country ever had.

MUHAMMADIYAH GANTONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Actually, it's easy
to remember places and dates.

We just need to find the important thing
behind each event.

Like what Mr. Harfan and Ms. Muslimah
used to do.

On December 29, 1929.

I remember that.

The prison's name is Sukamiskin.
It's poor, just like our school.

But we still like it. Sukamiskin!

Ms. Muslimah!

Ms. Muslimah!

-Ms. Muslimah!
-Ms. Muslimah!

-Peace be upon you, Mr. Mahmud!
-Peace be upon you, too!

-Where are you going, Muslimah?
-To chase the rainbow!

-Let's go, kids!
-Let's go!

Wrong. Minus 100 points for team C.

The chance is given to the other team.

Time's up.
The correct answer is 10:05 a.m.

Wait a minute. Hold on.

I got the same answer as that boy.

-What are you saying?
-I'm saying that the boy was right.

Are you doubting us?

Besides, I didn't see him count even once.

I'm not doubting you, respectable judges.

But that boy's answer was right.

-What if we count it one more time?
-No need.

For what? I've been suspicious.
Maybe he already knew the answers.

Wait a minute.
Are you saying that he's cheating?

How? By stealing the questions?

Muhammadiyah Elementary School
is very honorable

and they would never cheat.

I can explain it.

-Should I read out the questions?
-No. I still remember it.

Sorry, we made a mistake.

This boy's answer was right.

LINTANG, WINNER OF INTELLIGENCE
AND ACCURACY QUIZ

We've waited for my smart
and admirable best friend for days,

but there was no news of him.

Put a dot on top of it. Then make a line.

Give a dot on this one, too.
Then put this mark.

On the fifth day,
when we and Ms. Muslimah had planned

to go see him at Tanjung Kelumpang,

a man came with a letter from Lintang.

Lintang's letter was very brief.

"Miss, my dad passed away.

I'll go to school and say good bye to you
and to my friends.

Regards, Lintang."

We all realized that Lintang doesn't have
the chance to go to school anymore.

The eldest son from a poor coastal family

with no mother
and whose father had just left him

has to support his family.

It all falls on that young boy's shoulder.

We had to let go of a natural genius.
Ms. Muslimah's first student.

The boy who wants
to keep this school running.

The boy who always tried to come earlier

now has to be the first one
to leave this school.

Lintang!

Now, Belitung has changed.

In the late 80's,
the price of tin dropped in the market.

In a flash, PN Timah was paralyzed.

The walls that used to diminish
opportunities and hope

had collapsed.

But my childhood had done wonders
to my confidence to this day.

It made me brave enough to dream
and to have ambitions.

I've left Belitung for a long time
to pursue that dream.

Today, I'm back.

Ikal?

How are you, Lintang?

-Do you still kept the box from A Ling?
-Yes.

There's something
that I want to show you, Ikal.

What is it?

The river that flows to the ocean...

That's my daughter.

When the sun evaporate the sea water
and it becomes the cloud...

Lintang never lost his spirit.

The spirit that he gave to me,

and now to his daughter.

Are you here for Mahar's book launch?

That owl finally became an artist.

I thought he was going to replace
Tuk Bayan Tula as a shaman.

Actually, I came home
because I want to thank all of you.

Especially you.

I'm going to go to
Sorbonne, France, Lintang.

-I got a scholarship.
-Sorbonne? Paris?

DON'T EVER GIVE UP, MY FRIEND!

Chase your rainbow
until the end of the world, dear.

Like Mr. Ikal.

Don't ever give up.
