He purchases a kris, an asymmetrical dagger from Indonesia that often carries symbolic meanings, at auction, which an Indonesian antique dealer tries to procure from him.

[1] Guido Franken, writing for the Dutch film website Neerlands Filmdoek, found the story and video quality acceptable, but considered the audio to be too muted and the camera angles too static.
