What it’s about. Guntur (Rangga Raditya) is an ordinary kid from village in Banyuwangi who lives an ordinary life. Well, not quite ordinary, since he is the “victim” of his father and friend obsession. His father (Mamiek Prakoso) treated him hard (mentally) because he wants Guntur to be a badminton champion like Liem Swie King, while Raden (Lucky Martin), his friend, pushed him to take part in local match by suggesting that he’ll have a lot of money if he wins. After learning that his efforts on winning the local match only brought him trouble, he became mad to his father and Raden and never care about badminton anymore. However, his father and Raden have secrets that Guntur doesn’t know it, yet…
