Rejection: A Sumatran Odyssey is an epic family drama by Ashadi Siregar, set against the turbulent years following Indonesia's independence. The story follows Tondi, a young man who joins the separatist rebellion of the late 1950s and early 1960s in North Sumatra. Later, he moves to Java and finds his way in the murky Jakarta underworld. Tondi's story is interwoven with the magical world of his paternal grandfather, a shaman, traditional priest living in the old pre-Islam, pre-Christian world of Batak belief. Tondi's father deserts the family when Tondi is a child, moves to Jakarta, and joins the Indonesian national army. Tondi's mother stays in Sumatra and forges a life of her own, for a while working at a hospital with Dutch personnel who return to the former Dutch colony after Indonesian independence.
