When Zora’s interactions with an unseen friend named Widuri became frequent, her parents grew uneasy and sought help. This mysterious friend, who was visible only to Zora, was later revealed to be a pregnant woman’s spirit. In response, her parents, Mira and Wisnu, turned to Sekar, a woman with deep spiritual knowledge.
As soon as Sekar encountered Zora, she sensed her extraordinary ability—Zora was born with a rare gift. Sekar explained that Zora, like herself, could see and engage with spirits, making her what people refer to as an Indigo.
However, after Widuri launched a violent attack on the young girl, Sekar suspected that the spirit intended to enter Zora’s body. To stop this, she sealed Zora’s third eye, hoping it would block Widuri’s access. But even that wasn’t guaranteed to put an end to the spiritual danger.

After Zora had spent seventeen years away from her past life and spiritual abilities, things took a turn when her younger sister, Ninda, started showing similar tendencies. Ninda had visions and could perceive things no one else could.
Her unsettling conduct at school drew the attention of staff, prompting them to contact Zora. Having shifted her focus to her career as an artist, Zora had kept herself away from family matters, especially after their parents died in a car crash. She had also cut ties with the family’s questionable business dealings.
As an adult, she had no recollection of her time as an Indigo and now leaned only on rational thoughts. Her partner, Aksa, encouraged her to consider a spiritual route to understand Ninda’s situation better.
Aksa had experienced his own loss—his father’s suicide—and was deeply interested in spiritual communication. His belief in supernatural elements led him to push Zora to reconnect with Sekar. Despite Zora’s disbelief in her childhood memories or spiritual gifts, things began to change.
Once Ninda moved in with her, strange and dangerous occurrences began to happen. Widuri’s ghost reappeared and attacked Ninda, leading to a hospital stay. Aksa then brought Sekar back into the picture. Sekar disclosed the truth to Zora—she had once been an Indigo, and Ninda now carried the same markings Zora once did.
According to Sekar, these marks indicated Widuri was preparing to possess Ninda fully. Unlike Zora, Ninda’s power had already matured, making her more vulnerable. With time running out, Sekar admitted that she could no longer stop Widuri on her own and would need Zora’s spiritual strength.
Initially, Zora was reluctant to reopen her third eye, but witnessing Ninda’s suffering changed her mind. Reconnecting with her Indigo past brought a flood of memories and spiritual encounters, which she bravely accepted for the sake of her sister. Through these visions, Zora also gained insight into Widuri’s past, which would help her figure out a solution.
Who Was Widuri, and Why Was She So Dangerous?
Sekar didn’t just believe Widuri was a harmful ghost; she was convinced the spirit had deep ties to evil forces. This spirit had already destroyed Sekar’s personal life, leading to her husband’s death and creating a rift between her and her son.
Widuri returned stronger and more dangerous than ever, going so far as to harm Sekar’s daughter. After Elma’s father passed away, she supported Sekar, but this dedication led to her untimely death. Losing Elma pushed Sekar further into grief, yet she continued helping those affected by dark spirits.
When Zora met Sekar again, she was informed that the haunting wasn’t due to the house they lived in, but rather because of their family’s past actions. Long ago, Zora’s grandparents struck a deal with dark forces in exchange for riches. Her grandmother, who also had Indigo abilities, was instructed to kill a pregnant woman for the family’s wealth to be secured.
She and her husband chose Widuri as the sacrifice. Although the devil granted them riches, Widuri’s spirit haunted Zora’s grandmother, eventually driving her to take her own life.
Now, Widuri aimed to return to the mortal world, give birth, and introduce an evil child that could wreak havoc. Sekar believed such a child would bring about the downfall of the world as it is known, marking the beginning of a terrifying era.
How Was the Spirit Dealt With?
Zora encountered the ghost of Aksa’s father, which led to a shocking discovery. Her grandfather had continued with his secret dealings and rituals for dark powers. Aksa’s father, who worked for him, found out and was murdered for his curiosity. Sekar came up with a solution: perform a ritual during a full moon and burn Widuri’s physical remains.
These remains had been buried at Zora’s family property in Bodor. Aksa was sent to retrieve them and bring them to Sekar by 11 p.m. He managed to dig up the remains, but an unexpected accident held him back.
Before the crash, he had informed his boss, Yudi, of his resignation and threatened to expose the company’s illegal activities. Fearing exposure, Yudi arranged for Aksa’s elimination, but Aksa survived the attempt.
During this time, Widuri entered Zora’s body, gaining strength as she did. She planned to use Zora as a vessel to bear a child. She tried to seduce Daffa with this intention.
Widuri was thrilled about possessing Zora’s wealth and continued to boast about her alliance with dark forces. As Zora’s spirit weakened, she attempted to fight back internally, but it was a nearly impossible battle.
While Daffa and Sekar tried to stop the spirit’s influence, Ninda rushed to Bahari Street, where she found the injured Aksa. After ensuring he received help, she took the remains back home.
Sekar then carried out the ritual and burnt the remains. Widuri’s spirit left Zora’s body, though they had missed the 11 p.m. window, leaving a possibility that the spirit had not been completely defeated.
What Was the Real Plan of the Devil?
Zora and Ninda decided to take a new path. They chose to sell the family home and expose the wrongdoings of their family business. Their goal was to live honestly and offer something good back to the community. Zora eventually married Aksa, and she was expecting a child, which brought her joy.

She had dreamt of destruction and chaos and believed that it was a warning about an incoming disaster. Zora then remembered what Sekar had said about the devil’s deeper plan. The spirit of Widuri had only been a tool. The real goal had always been for the devil to become part of the physical world through Zora’s child.
The final scenes of Indigo suggest that the pact made by Zora’s grandparents had long-term consequences. Since they failed to complete their end of the deal, Zora became the vessel to carry the burden.
Now pregnant, she was faced with a terrible decision. Unlike her ancestors, Zora did not value wealth or power, but she had to find the strength to do what was necessary—even if it meant sacrificing both her life and her unborn baby. The film closes with no clear answer, leaving room for a possible continuation of the story.
