Ade Juwita

The train crash on 19 October 1987 in Bintaro, infamously called the Bintaro Tragedy, was claimed to bring out follow-up stories such as the appearance of a rolling head, the sound of crying, and a ghost in ragged clothes from dusk to midnight.

The story of a young man from the provinces named Bony who is seeking knowledge and experience in Jakarta. He meets a young woman from Manado, who wishes to become a singer, at the boarding house where is renting a room. Bony, Mungky and their friends at the boarding house are so busy having a good time that they forgot why they have come to Jakarta. Eventually, Bony and Mungky’s parents show up in Jakarta at around the same time. Bony and Mungky pretend that they have married, but their parents find out the truth soon enough. As a result, the two young people are separated and sent abroad to study in different places.

Boim (Harry de Fretes), a transit mini-bus driver who has just received eviction compensation from the government, moves to a new home in a real estate development with his family. His presence in the neighborhood is not well received by the family of Marlena (Debby Sahertian), who live across the street. Juwita (Ade Libertifa), a vegetable seller, who also works at Marlena’s beauty salon, keeps this animosity between the two families stirred up with her constant gossiping. This conflict escalates drastically when the children of Boim and Marlena start going out with one another. To make matters worse, Marlena’s father, Ramon (Robby Tumewu), a horse-cart driver, takes an interest in Boim’s mother, Mak Iting (Titi Dwijayati). In the end, Boim and Marlena fall in love with each other.
