About Jaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadari
A famous legend in Central and East Java. Jaka Tarub (Sentot S.) lives in misery with his widowed mother, because of the scorn of the surrounding community because Jaka does not know who his father is, besides the chronic skin disease he suffers from. Jaka has a habit of hunting in the forest. A miracle happened. He met Nawang Wulan (Susanna Caecilia), a beautiful angel. Marriage took place and their daughter was born named Nawang Asih. Because they came from two different worlds, Jaka had to accept the fate of being left by his wife who returned to heaven.
Directed by Bay Isbahi, Jaka Tarub dan Tujuh Bidadari leans on a strong ensemble — Sentot Sudiharto, Susanna Caecilia, Sitoresmi Prabuningrat — 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 drama titles of 1981.
