Amat (Adadiri Tanpalang), is an intelligent ten-year-old boy who helps his mute father with stone carving. One day, his teacher requests him to participate in a stone carving competition. He never finishes it; instead his father does it for him. He wins but he returns the prize to the school because he felt that he doesn’t deserve it. He claims that his father is the one who finished the statue for competition for him. While his friend, Siti (Acintyaswati Widianing) is the one who sends the stone carving to the competition.
