The Seen and Unseen
Tantra is inseparable from Tantri. Tantri always gets the whites and Tantra always gets the yolks when they steal eggs from the family's sacrificial sacrifice in secret. However, the yolk, like Tantra, vanishes one day. Tantri begins falling into wonderful parallel universes as her brother becomes seriously ill and hospitalized, approaching the inevitable farewell through costumes, body paint, and dance. When Tantri's mother washes the paint off her face at one point, it's as if delicately dispelling the idea that things may continue as-is. In lengthy dream sequences and against the backdrop of the Balinese philosophy of sekala – the visible – and niskala – the unseen – Andini describes how a ten-year-old girl copes with separation and bereavement.
