Sumbang tells a story of Ara, a Muslim undertaker at the end of her era. For over 40 years, Ara has been the only Muslim undertaker in the precinct, which makes her feel inevitably at the helm for the sins of the people who have no knowledge of the process of laying the dead to rest. Saddened by the diminishing course of her traditions, Ara pays her last tribute, a swan song to the souls of those whom she sets free.
