Trinil stars Carmela Van De Kruk, Rangga Nattra, Fattah Amin, SALom Razade, and Wulan Guritno. The script was written by Haqi Ahmad with Hanung Bramantyo.

The trinil produced by Dapur Film and Seven Skies Motion tells the story of the couple Rara (Carmela Van Der Kruk) and Sutan (Rangga Nattra) who are ready to start a new life after their honeymoon. Rara inherited a large tea plantation in Central Java owned by William Saunder, his father, a Dutchman who loves Indonesia very much.

Realizing something was wrong, Sutan asked for Yusof's help (Fatah Amin), his school friend when they were in Penang, Malaysia, who is now good at handling various mystical cases. At first, Rara rejected this idea. However, terror is even more terrible.

At its peak, a ghost of a bodyless head appears with a request, 'Trinil, balekno gembungke (return my body).'

He told me that he wanted to make a hierarchy film again after 17 years, he continued to be told about Ayu's character because she was a woman who was subscribed to power, so she allowed him all means to get it. Now that's my tragedy and greed, I was immediately interested in participating," he said during a press jumpma, Monday, December 11.

This film was adapted from a popular radio drama in 1980, a year before Wulan lahiit. That's why he hopes to satisfy listeners in the role of my voice.
