Short filmTranscript
00:00So, the movie begins with Eka, who tells her own story.
00:03She says she dreams the same thing every night,
00:05in which she sees a handsome man in a beautiful house,
00:08who comes close to her every day.
00:10Even tonight, as Eka is having this same dream,
00:13we see that in real life too, she is haunted by a djinn,
00:16and it's clear that Eka is under this djinn spell.
00:19Well, when Eka wakes up that night,
00:20she feels happy that her husband is finally home,
00:23but she's also angry that he has started coming home very late every day.
00:27Eka tells her husband to keep everything in its proper place,
00:30and he tries to, but we see a demonic hand throwing things around,
00:33which makes Eka even angrier.
00:35In this tense moment, an argument breaks out between Eka and her husband,
00:38and he gets angry and leaves the house without eating.
00:41The next day, Eka goes to work and tells her friend Linda about her troubles,
00:45saying that her husband has changed and no longer pays attention to her like before.
00:49Linda explains that Eka hasn't been treating him the same way either,
00:52that she doesn't speak to him sweetly anymore and isn't affectionate with him.
00:56Linda tells Eka that if she wants her husband's attention,
00:58she should get ready properly for him tonight.
01:00Meanwhile, Eka's husband Ariel is worried about the same thing,
01:04that Eka isn't happy with him.
01:05He talks to his friend Restu about it,
01:08and Restu advises him to go home and talk to Eksha kindly.
01:12That night, as soon as Ariel comes home,
01:15Eksha is ready and waiting,
01:16and she speaks to him warmly,
01:18and they end up having a wonderful day together,
01:20just as Eksha wanted Ariel to love her.
01:22And he does love her.
01:24But during this time,
01:25we also see Dasim watching them both.
01:27Later, Eksha falls asleep,
01:28and in her dream,
01:29she sees Dasim again.
01:31Tonight, Dasim is angry,
01:32and tells Eksha that she cannot escape his control.
01:35Eksha wakes up in fear after hearing this.
01:37In the dream,
01:38Dasim had also placed a flower on her belly.
01:40Eksha wakes up in fear,
01:41and sees the flower lying on her bed.
01:43But her husband, Ariel,
01:45is nowhere to be found.
01:46When Eksha goes downstairs,
01:47she finds that Ariel has made breakfast for her.
01:50The two of them decide to start fresh,
01:52apologizing to each other for their past mistakes.
01:55When Eksha goes to work that day,
01:56she sees the same flower in the storeroom,
01:59the one that had been on her bed.
02:00When she reaches to pick it up,
02:01someone else's hand grabs it first.
02:03She turns around in fear,
02:05and sees Dasim.
02:06Eksha doesn't know why she feels so afraid of him,
02:09and as soon as she catches his reflection in the mirror,
02:12she becomes even more terrified,
02:14because he looks like a devil in the reflection,
02:16and the sight makes her vomit.
02:18When she goes to the washroom,
02:19Linda comes in looking for her.
02:21Eksha leaves without saying a word to her,
02:23and Linda is horrified to see blood and worms in Eksha's vomit.
02:27That evening, Eksha meets her sister, Emma,
02:30and from their conversation,
02:31we learn that Eksha loves children,
02:33but despite being healthy,
02:34she still hasn't been able to have a child,
02:36and doctors have been prescribing her medication.
02:39Eksha asks Ariel to bring her medicine,
02:41and as he reads her message,
02:42he notices Eksha standing in his empty office building.
02:45Surprised, he calls out to her,
02:47and Eksha starts running.
02:48He chases after her,
02:49and watches in horror,
02:50as her appearance suddenly turns strange.
02:53Her belly swells,
02:54she appears pregnant,
02:55and while screaming,
02:56she gives birth to a child,
02:58one that is completely demonic.
02:59The child starts moving toward Ariel,
03:02while Eksha smiles at him in an unsettling way.
03:04Trying to escape the child,
03:06Ariel runs and crashes into Restu.
03:08He tells Restu everything about how Eksha was chasing him,
03:11but when he looks back,
03:12there's no one there.
03:13Ariel takes the rest of the day off,
03:15and goes home,
03:16where he finds Eksha acting normal,
03:18talking to him as if nothing happened.
03:19But Ariel behaves strangely around her,
03:21and she notices it too.
03:23He tells Eksha to call the midwife in the morning,
03:25and after saying this,
03:26he falls asleep.
03:27Even while sleeping,
03:28he keeps seeing the same visions from before,
03:31and the fear keeps creeping back again and again.
03:34The next morning,
03:34the midwife Ariel had called,
03:36comes and starts examining Eksha,
03:38and while doing so,
03:39she tells Ariel,
03:40that Eksha is three months pregnant.
03:42Hearing this,
03:43Eksha is overjoyed,
03:44but Ariel becomes very upset.
03:46She couldn't be three months pregnant,
03:48since he and Eksha haven't been intimate in six months.
03:51Ariel discusses all of this with Restu,
03:53and Restu advises him to talk to Eksha about it direct.
03:56Meanwhile,
03:57Eksha is overjoyed,
03:59as if she has found a treasure.
04:00She happily tells all her co-workers about her pregnancy,
04:03but we see that Linda isn't happy for her today.
04:05Linda is worried about Eksha,
04:07because the day before,
04:08she had seen worms and blood in Eksha's vomit,
04:10which wasn't a good sign.
04:12But Eksha is too overjoyed,
04:13so she brushes off everything Linda says.
04:16Meanwhile,
04:16in the parking lot,
04:17Ariel hears a child crying from inside a car.
04:20When he checks the car with a flashlight,
04:22he sees a demonic child inside.
04:24Terrified,
04:24he runs away,
04:25and as soon as he does,
04:27we see behind him,
04:28that Dassem is holding the child in his arms.
04:30After getting home,
04:31Ariel checks Eksha's phone,
04:33because he's suspicious of her,
04:34and he finds a conversation with a man in her messages.
04:36When he confronts Eksha about it,
04:38she tells him that the man is her childhood friend,
04:41who was just talking to her after a fight with his own wife.
04:44There was nothing more to it between them.
04:46Eksha now understands why Ariel was doubting her,
04:49so she angrily tells him that tomorrow,
04:51they'll go to the lab and get a test done,
04:53and she'll prove that the child is his.
04:56Agreeing to this,
04:57they go to the hospital in the morning,
04:58where the doctor examines Eksha,
05:00and finds that she isn't pregnant at all.
05:02So,
05:03what was going on?
05:03The doctor explains,
05:05that when a woman desperately wants to become a mother,
05:07and becomes consumed by the thought,
05:09her body can sometimes change in ways,
05:12that make her believe she really is pregnant.
05:14The midwife had also told her she looked pregnant,
05:16just from her body shape,
05:18even though there was nothing there.
05:19Hearing all of this leaves Eksha even more upset,
05:21and Ariel feels guilty for doubting her unnecessarily.
05:25Still upset,
05:25Eksha goes and tells Linda everything.
05:28Linda tells her that what's happening to her isn't normal.
05:30That's why she takes Eksha to a religious teacher,
05:33Hustad Zaini.
05:33As soon as Zaini sees Eksha,
05:35he notices the same jinn following her,
05:37and realizes that she's in serious trouble.
05:40He brings Eksha and Linda inside,
05:42and starts telling them about jinn like this one,
05:44whose purpose is to destroy people's marriages.
05:47He asks Eksha whether she's been having any strange dreams or visions.
05:50When Eksha tells him about her dreams,
05:52he explains that she's possessed by a jinn,
05:54the kind that destroys people's homes.
05:57Eksha then tells Zaini about her pregnancy.
05:59Zaini tells her plainly that she isn't pregnant,
06:01and hearing this only makes her angrier.
06:04Eksha's condition is so bad,
06:05that Linda stays with her for a long time,
06:07until she falls asleep.
06:09Afterward,
06:09Linda leaves to head home.
06:11On the way,
06:11she sees a kitten on the road,
06:13which she picks up,
06:14and sets somewhere safe,
06:15so no one will run it over.
06:16But suddenly,
06:17she senses something is wrong.
06:18When she looks back,
06:19she sees Dasim standing there,
06:21the same jinn she had just helped Eksha try to escape.
06:24Furious,
06:24Dasim attacks and kills Linda.
06:26Eksha sees all of this happen in her dream,
06:28and wakes up in fear.
06:29She also hears noise coming from outside.
06:31When she goes out to check,
06:33she finds Linda lying dead,
06:35exactly as she had seen in her dream.
06:37Linda's death leaves Eksha devastated.
06:39Eksha starts to feel guilty,
06:40blaming herself for her friend's death.
06:42When Ariel comes home,
06:43he finds Eksha crying badly.
06:45As Eksha tells him everything that happened,
06:47Ariel feels her pain too.
06:48While she cries,
06:49Eksha's belly suddenly swells up again,
06:51as if she's pregnant.
06:52The next morning,
06:53Eksha tells Ariel about the dream
06:55she's been having every night.
06:57The ones Zany said were sent by the jinn.
06:59Ariel decides it's best to take Eksha back to see Zany.
07:03Realizing how much trouble Eksha and Ariel are in,
07:06Zany agrees to help them.
07:07Eksha's exorcism begins,
07:09the process meant to drive the jinn out of her.
07:12But this jinn is far too powerful.
07:14He takes control of Eksha's body during the exorcism,
07:17and speaks through her,
07:18in a terrifying voice,
07:20declaring that they can never separate him from Eksha,
07:22because in another world,
07:24he had already married her.
07:25After that,
07:26Dasim leaves Eksha's body,
07:28and Eksha is left in intense pain.
07:30Zany tells Ariel,
07:31that this jinn destroys couples' lives this way,
07:34and it's crucial,
07:35that they get rid of him.
07:36To do that,
07:37Zany gives them verses to recite every day.
07:39They keep reciting the verses for 14 days,
07:42and in that time,
07:43their life becomes much more normal than before.
07:46And by reciting these verses,
07:47Eksha also stops having those dreams.
07:49But one day,
07:50Ariel tells Eksha that he has to leave town for work,
07:53even though he doesn't want to leave her alone in this condition.
07:56But the trip to another city would bring in a lot of money,
07:58which would solve all of their financial problems.
08:01Eksha tells Ariel to go,
08:02insisting she'll take care of herself.
08:04After Ariel leaves,
08:05Eksha recites the verses,
08:07and falls asleep.
08:08But that night,
08:09something strange happens in the house.
08:11Dasim has come back,
08:12ready to take advantage of Ariel,
08:14being away from Eksha.
08:15When Eksha goes to work the next morning,
08:17she notices something off about her co-workers' eyes.
08:19They start moving toward Eksha,
08:21in a frightening way,
08:22saying in eerie voices,
08:24Eksha,
08:24you cannot leave me.
08:26Terrified,
08:26Eksha calls her sister Emma,
08:28to come stay with her that night.
08:30Eksha tells Ariel everything that's been happening over the phone,
08:33explaining all that had happened to her.
08:35Ariel then calls Emma,
08:36and tells her that no matter what happens,
08:39she must not let Eksha fall asleep.
08:41And after Eksha fell asleep,
08:42Dasim killed Linda.
08:44So if Eksha falls asleep again,
08:45he could attack both of them.
08:47Emma tries to keep Eksha talking and engaged,
08:49but Eksha still falls into such a deep sleep,
08:52that she can't be woken.
08:53Her sister tries to wake her up,
08:55by shaking her hard.
08:56When Eksha doesn't wake up,
08:57Dasim suddenly attacks Emma instead.
08:59He grabs her shoulder first,
09:01then lifts her up,
09:02and throws her down off the bed.
09:04Emma manages to crawl out of the room in fear.
09:06Then an invisible force lifts her again,
09:08and slams her against the wall.
09:10And Emma falls unconscious right there.
09:12When Eksha briefly wakes up,
09:13her belly has swollen again,
09:15and she's in terrible pain.
09:17Seeing this,
09:17she grows furious,
09:18and starts staggering downstairs.
09:20She doesn't even notice her sister,
09:22lying unconscious near the stairs.
09:24Eksha grabs a wire hanger,
09:26and tries to pull the baby out of herself,
09:28but fails.
09:29By the time Ariel gets home,
09:30Eksha is in a horrifying state.
09:32Ariel revives Emma,
09:33then immediately takes Eksha,
09:35to Zyni's house,
09:36where Zyni has gathered several other people.
09:38And here,
09:39Eksha's exorcism begins,
09:40as everyone recites prayers around her,
09:42Inside her dream,
09:44Eksha finds herself in another world,
09:46the world of the Djinn.
09:47There too,
09:47she can hear the prayers being recited,
09:50by everyone back in the real world.
09:52And she tries to use them,
09:53to escape this world.
09:54But Dasim appears,
09:55and tells her that she can never leave his world.
09:58Terrified,
09:59Eksha runs from him,
10:00which only makes Dasim angrier.
10:02And he comes up behind her,
10:03and grabs her.
10:04The moment he grabs her in the Djinn's world,
10:06Eksha becomes fully possessed,
10:08back in the real world.
10:09Rising off the bed,
10:10as the bed itself lifts into the air.
10:12Her eyes have turned black,
10:14and she lets out a roar,
10:15laughing just like a Djinn.
10:17The people around her,
10:18start reciting their prayers even louder,
10:20causing Dasim great pain.
10:21Dasim tries to scare Zyni,
10:23but Zyni stands firm,
10:25and unafraid.
10:25As the pain grows worse,
10:27Dasim's hold over Eksha,
10:28begins to weaken.
10:29As Eksha and the bed settle back to the ground,
10:32Ariel leans in,
10:33and recites the same verse into her ear.
10:35And in her dream,
10:36Eksha hears Ariel telling her,
10:38I need you,
10:38come back to me.
10:39And in the world of the Djinn,
10:41Eksha fights with everything she has,
10:43to free herself from Dasim.
10:44And there,
10:45she can still hear the prayers recited by everyone back home.
10:48And when she begins reciting them herself,
10:50even there,
10:51Dasim's world starts to crumble around her.
10:54And back in the real world,
10:55we see that Eksha is no longer possessed.
10:57Zyni's ritual has finally worked,
10:59and Eksha is freed from Dasim.
11:01She is now completely released from his grip.
11:03Ariel and Emma,
11:04are overjoyed to see this.
11:06At the end of the story,
11:08we jump forward six years,
11:10where Eksha now has two children,
11:11and their life has become normal.
11:13We see that while Eksha's children are playing outside,
11:16Emma goes to bring them in,
11:17and we see the same demon outside the house,
11:20now in human form,
11:21and his presence feels unsettling to Emma.
11:23And it's revealed that while the Djinn can no longer fully possess Eksha,
11:27he still hasn't gone far from her.
11:29At the end of the movie,
11:30we're also shown the real woman this story is based on,
11:33confirming that this is a true story,
11:35and the film closes by showing her actual interview.
