Book excerpt: Lies Beneath the River delves into the life of Rimbun, who has carefully distanced herself from her troubled past in Borneo by trying to build a new life in Germany. However, when an urgent call beckons her back home to visit her ailing mother, Rimbun finds herself slowly returning to a mysterious cult along the river course. As she grapples to understand her roots and part in it, the journey reveals itself to what lies beneath the surface of Rimbun's world. Through this book, the author tries to explore the true meaning of home and examine the ideas of one's capacity to harbor both pain and healing, secrets and revelation. This book is a framework of a feature-length screenplay because the author believes that film will better communicate the complexity of identity and culture in this story by showing the contrast and connection of characters and locations through visual medium.
