Joko is a young man, supporting his entire family from his tanker job. On the second anniversary of his employment, Joko and his fellow workers are surprised by a meeting with unspecified foreign delegates who order…him to carry himself on his back. At first, Joko rebels against this humiliating practice, but he relents under peer pressure and the desire to earn a good salary. The delegates begin to increasingly dominate the boy. Red blisters appear on Joko’s back, and one of the wearers can’t get away from his back. Every subsequent delegate who touches Joko sticks to him.
