About Nakalnya Anak-anak
Surya, a retired ship captain and a widower with five children, has trouble with disciplining his kids. So he invites a private teacher to educate and guide his children. Several teachers try and fail. Eventually, a young teacher, Utari, is able to conquer them slowly. One day the children disturb Surya’s future wife. She suspects that Utari is behind it all, so she is fired. Utari goes home, heartbroken. The children are gloomy and the youngest one gets sick. Surya approaches the teacher to work again for them. Utari refuses. Only when the children approach her does she relent and return to Surya’s house.
Directed by Susilo SWD, Nakalnya Anak-anak leans on a strong ensemble — Zainal Abidin, Gina Adriana, Ira Maya Sopha — 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 1980.
