Sehidup Semati

A medical student, Kusmayadi, the son of Dr. Sugiharto, is going for a vacation in Bandung with Selikur and Winarto. There he meets up with Asmarani, and later on, both vow to be together forever. Dr. Sugiharto opposes their relationship, since he has arranged Kusmayadi's marriage with Lasminah, the daughter of a trader. The relation of Kusmayadi-Asmarani is successfully broken. Asmarani falls ill and dies. When Kusmayadi know the news, he falls ill and dies too.

Directed by Fred Young, Sehidup Semati leans on a strong ensemble — Ida Prijatni, Ali Yugo, Chatir Harro — 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 1949.
