Summary
Puntadewa receives an invitation to play dice. His family disagrees but he leaves anyway. He plays against Sengkuni. He wins the first game but ends up losing his freedom, his brothers and his wife, Drupadi. The Korawa want to rape her, but she leaves the world of wayang seeking help. Her journey takes her around the world, until she meets the president of America, George Bush, who refuses to help her. Drupadi asks dalang Slamet Gundono for help, but he can't change the story. He advises her to find her own way. Drupadi leaves Puntadewa and the world of wayang in the middle of the rain, carrying her child Pancawala, and seeking her own destiny.
