Durian Oh Durian

Midie is a postman who is obsessed with seeing the durian tree planted by his late grandfather on the occasion of his birth finally bear fruit. Year after year he waits for the tree to fruit. He has made various attempts. Although the tree is already 29 years old, it has never shown any signs of bearing fruit, and in fact the tree has never even flowered. Midie's mother, Kamariah, suggests that the durian tree be cut down and replanted with new seeds. It happens that Midie's younger sibling who has just returned to the village wants to use the space of the durian tree plantation to grow herbal plants. Midie rebels and opposes his mother's and sibling's desire because the tree is the same age as him and was planted by his late grandfather in tandem with his existence in this world. It holds deep meaning for him because his late grandfather's wish was for his descendants to be able to eat the fruits of his planting.
