From the lush landscapes of Lombok to the distant traditions of Latvia, Whispers from Lombok weaves a love story that feels like a fairytale—both enchanting and heartbreaking.

Moringa an Indonesian woman abandoned by love, seeks peace in the arms of nature. Lonely but resilient, she believes the universe will one day send her someone who can see the softness and strength within her. That someone arrives in the form of Janis, a Latvian man whose very name carries the weight of ancient midsummer festivals and the proud spirit of his homeland.

Gentle yet strong, warm yet mysterious, Janis awakens in Moringa the kind of love she has only dreamed of. With him, she feels whole again, as if her lost half has returned. Their connection is tender, intoxicating—like a folk tale where two souls from different worlds find each other against all odds.

But fairytales are not always meant to last. When Janis returns to Latvia, his affection begins to fade—not with cruelty, but with silence. Words left unsaid cut deeper than any blade. Slowly, almost tenderly, he lets Maya go… without admitting he is still bound to another.

Refusing to be broken, Maya turns to the spiritual path of sukma raga, seeking strength beyond the body, reaching for him across distance and time. Love transforms into vengeance, longing into power. She asks herself: Will he ever return to me? Will he leave his wife and choose the bond we shared? Or was it all just a fleeting shadow of a man I once called mine?

Blending cultural mysticism, the fierce beauty of Indonesian resilience, and the haunting depth of Latvian myths, “My Latvian” is a tale of passion, betrayal, and the supernatural quest of a woman who refuses to let love—or destiny—slip away so easily.
