Indonesia Malaise

Directed by

Joshua Wong

A woman, who already has a lover, is forced to marry someone else. Tragedy then piles up when the husband has an affair, their baby dies and her former lover goes to prison. The woman falls ill due to her suffering and yearning for her former lover. When she is about to die, the lover that she has been longing for appears. This gripping moment is interrupted by jokes made by Oemar, the comedian. The woman's illness is cured when she hears actor M.S. Ferry sing keroncong songs. The film ends with a scene of Oemar courting the maid on top of a rubber tree.
