Contents Summary
The filmmaker Ascan Breuer returns to his ancestors house in Java in search of a mythical Tiger Spirit that is said to live there. The soirit is personified as the family´s grandfather, the ghost of an old man who resides in the garden and finishes off thieves and poor craftsmen. In his arduous search for the spirit, Breuer recalls the resistance against Dutch colonialism and the conflicts that played out during the Cold War in Indonesia. The film combined autobiographical narrative thread involving the history of the filmmaker´s family and a historical narrative about migration that spans the globe. But before you know it, the spirit materializes, observes the filmmaker, energizes the story´s images, and affects the present. In the form of a shadow it flits through the garden and comments on the complex connections between past and present as a figure in a shadow theater.
