Although she is engaged, Haikal finds himself strongly attracted to her and determined to make a cultural Malay stage theatre.

The second movie by Erma has some nice photography - those beach scenes on the East Coast - and had the potential to be an engrossing but provocative drama about cultural conflict (Plot is about a Western-educated man who tries to find his native Malay identity). But there's something preachy about the way the issues are presented; the dialogue is too heavy and everyone is so solemn. The closing shot is kind of obnoxious, too. But credit to Vanida as the female lead - and even the normally wooden Eizlan is not THAT bad here.
