Perkawinan

Mas Tok, son of a rich family, is studying in Holland when he meets Inge, a staff of Nitou travel agency. They marry but cannot have a child due to Mas Tok’s illness. When they return to Indonesia, his parents disapprove of his marriage as they intended him to marry another girl. Mas Tok then returns to Europe to treat his illness. Meanwhile, Inge is made to leave by her parents-in-law when she is found pregnant and thought to be unfaithful. Mas Tok comes home to find his wife gone and blames his parents because the baby is his son. Mas Tok meets Inge again under a snow fall, much like when they first meet, only this time his parents are there to witness.

Directed by Wim Umboh, Perkawinan leans on a strong ensemble — Widyawati Sophiaan, Sophan Sophiaan, Kusno Sudjarwadi — 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 1972.
