Tells the story of Sena, a tok of indigenous descent who lives in the interior of the forest. As the head of the village, in addition to learning forest science, Sena wants his descendants to go to school and be educated. His dream is to see an indigenous child succeed and he tries to prove it through his son Wadi. Every day Sena would drive a boat carrying his son and a number of students from his village across the Hulu Tembeling river to school. After school, Sena will take Wadi into the forest to hunt animals and find food, plants, tree roots, rattan and learn forest science. For Sena, his children and the children of the indigenous people under his care need to get 'forest knowledge' and 'school knowledge'.
