The Wife Who Can See Dead People (Or Jinn)

The Wife Who Can See Dead People (Or Jinn) is an Indonesian drama from director Mouly Surya, known for Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts and This City Is a Battlefield. The project is currently in development, with producers Gita Fara and Rama Adi attached. The film centers on Gadis, a twenty-year-old woman who joins a polygamous household as a fourth wife and confides that she sees ghosts—spirits her husband insists must be jinn in Islamic belief. She forms a close relationship with Indah, the third wife, and her seven-year-old son Firman. The project was selected for the 2026 Asian Project Market at Busan International Film Festival, where the team is seeking co-production partners and financing. A first draft of the screenplay has been completed, and the producers describe the tone as an intimate, grounded drama with visceral supernatural elements.
