We are invited to follow the daily activities of Baasung and Besangot to sap rubber tree in Bukit Duabelas National Park, Tebo, Jambi. There is a dialogue about how many rubber trees should be sapped and the disturbance that arises in doing so, along with talks on how they learn the alphabet; spell it and write it down. The camera moves several times between the hands of the two children and the filmmakers.
