Synopsis
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, 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, Lilies Handayani, and Kusuma Wardhani.
Meanwhile, the Olympics draw near, but these three Srikandi each face their own complex challenges. Under threat of not being sent at all, the archery association administrator, Mr. Udi, must persuade and convince Donald to prepare a women's archery team.
Donald's tough, militant, and highly disciplined personality must be able to shape Yana, Lilies, and Suma to reach their peak. The training period becomes a time for them all to push themselves. Friction and conflict with each other, the harsh training field, and the dwindling time temper them. 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.
