2 dari 3 Laki-laki

A seminar about Men and Faithfulness, to discuss the result of Matra magazine’s survey, that concludes that two out of three men have affairs, becomes a hot topic. Doddy, a faithful husband, becomes a suspect. The office secretary, who adores him, suspects him. His wife, Atik, also suspects him because, when working out of town, she sees the behaviour of her male colleagues. Furthermore, Doddy has to work late because he has to accompany the company’s director during a business meeting with a Japanese company. In addition, he has to find a lady escort for his guest, and at one of the dinner parties, he is photographed being very close to Neni, the escort. Atik refuses to accept Doddy’s explanations so he has to find Neni’s pimp to prove his innocence. Instead, the escort agency’s bouncers beat him up. Finally, Atik believes him, especially when she finds that Neni is going to be married to the director.

Directed by Edward Pesta Sirait, 2 dari 3 Laki-laki leans on a strong ensemble — Yosef Ginting, Nurul Arifin, Deddy Mizwar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1989.
