Synopsis

edit

Indonesia in 1988. The sports world is preparing to participate in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Archery is at a critical juncture, requiring a coach who can quickly prepare a women's archery team. The only reliable coach is Donald Pandiangan (Reza Rahardian), known as the "Indonesian Robin Hood."

But Donald himself has long been missing. He is still devastated by the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow when he was forced to cancel due to political reasons. Now he lives far from archery, let alone sports. In addition to the coach, the archery team must also select three top female athletes. They are Nurfitriyana Saiman (Bunga Citra Lestari), Lilies Handayani (Chelsea Islan), and Kusuma Wardhani (Tara Basro).

Meanwhile, the Olympics draw near, but these three Srikandi (Srikandi) each face their own complex challenges. Under threat of not being sent at all, the archery association administrator, Mr. Udi (Donny Damara), must persuade and convince Donald to prepare a women's archery team.

With his tough, militant, and highly disciplined personality, Donald shapes Yana, Lilies, and Suma to reach their peak. During the training period, they all learn to push themselves while experiencing conflict and a looming deadline. Working day and night, physically, emotionally, and mentally, the women's archery team prepares for Seoul. With their spirits high, they battle on the field.
