Pelayan Gedongan

Badrun’s family often clashes with their maids, as his mother is too strict. One day, the family, and their maids, have to stay at an international hotel, where they receive special treatment. As a result, the maids are curious to know the secrets of the hotel maids. Various funny events occur, since the hotel maids are more educated, and Badrun finally realises his wrong attitude towards the maids.

Directed by Ratno Timoer, Pelayan Gedongan leans on a strong ensemble — H.I.M. Damsyik, Evita Vitriany, Kandar Sinyo — 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 comedy titles of 1983.
