Description

Firman inherits a piece of land and a hut from his late father. He works hard by selling fruits, to fulfil his father’s dream, of ensuring that his little brother, Agus, finishes his university education. Agus falls in love with Isma, a daughter of a middle-class tailor, Mrs. Slamet. Mrs. Slamet is a distant relative of Mrs. Dirham; a rich widow, who wants her son, John, to marry Isma. But Isma falls for Agus and John often disparages Agus, which infuriates Isma more and more. Finally Mrs. Slamet gives in and accepts Agus’ proposal, and even John is willing to pay the marriage expenses.
