“HAFALAN SHALAT DELISA”

Introduction/Orientation :
Delisa (Chantiq Schagerl), a cheerful little girl who lived in a small village named
Lhok Nga on the coast of Aceh, had a wonderful life.

She was the youngest child of the family of Abu Usman (Reza Rahadian). Her father
worked in an oil tanker of an international oil company.
Delisa was very close to her mother that she called Ummi (Nirina Zubir), her older sister
Fatimah (Ghina Salsabila), and the twins Aisha (Reska Tania Apriadi) and Zahra (Riska
Tania Apriadi).

Interpretative Recount :
December 26, 2004, Delisa with Ummi was getting towards the prayer exam when
suddenly there was an earthquake. An earthquake that made Ummi and her sisters frightened.
Suddenly the tsunami struck, eradicate their small village, destroying their school, and
washed away Delisa as well as hundreds of thousands of other in Aceh and other parts of the
coast in Southeast Asia.

Evaluation :
Delisa was rescued by a soldier named Smith, after days passed out on the rocky hill.
Unfortunately, serious injuries makes Delisa’s right leg must be amputated. It makes soldier
Smith wanted to adopt her, but Abu Usman managed to find Delisa. Delisa happy together
again with her father, though sad to hear news of her sisters has gone to heaven, and Ummi
still not found.

Summary of the Story :

Delisa has become a little angel who shared a laugh in every presence. Delisa learns
how to survive a new life after the disaster and the true meaning of the more values in life
which is sincerity with her father and everyone around her to guide her.
 Based on my point of view, it’s a very religious movie, but also emphasizing on moral
values in life. It’s sad to see how tough it is for a little girl who lost one of legs due to the
Tsunami, lost all of her family except her dad, everything she had – her homes, the village,
best friends, to struggle to survive the aftermath. She barely understood much the meaning of
the disaster, the situation and always keep a cheerful face but when she did, you could
actually feel her pain.

Only thing that irks me is that in some part, the characters were overdone to almost
seem unreal in acting. But other than that, they were good.

This film is very recommended to watch because the characters can pulled you into
their life, their pain, their struggle to survive with what’s left after the tsunami and try to
rebuild their lives.
