Negeri 5 Menara (2012)

When Alif graduated from the secondary school, his mother wanted him to go to Pondok Madani, a pesantren (religious school)in corner of ponorogo, East Java. At first Alif was totally against the idea. being a good son, Alif gave him faith that his parents only wishes the best for him, yet half-heartedly. When Alif arrived at Pondok Madani, His heart sank even further.The Plase is depressing for him and feels like prison. It was worsened by many strict school rules and fact that he had to step a grade down to adapt the new system. Along the way Alif grow closer with his roommates, Baso from Gowa, Atang from Bandung, Raja from Medan, Said from Surabaya, and Dulmajid from Madura. The six of them are often seen and hang out near mosque tower and eventually known as the "Sahibul Menara" or the tower owners. Things are not like Alif expected. He starts to see how the school introduce him with new and modern ideas...
