Juno is just a kid when his father leaves him in their village of Center Java. Alone now, He joins a Lengger dance center where men transform their appearance and movement into females. But the sensuality and sexuality that comes from dance and bodies, mixed with the violent social and political Indonesian surrounding, forces Juno to move from village to village. If on his journey Juno gets attention and love from his dance teachers, his weird aunty, his old uncle, a handsome boxer and a Warok, he still has to face alone the battlefield that his body is becoming.
