Gersang tapi Damai

(title translation: Barren but Peaceful)

After discovering the background of his younger sibling’s accident, Santo becomes very disappointed with his father, Sudibyo, a millionaire. His parents keep travelling abroad all the time and neglect the children. The other younger sibling, Merry, becomes pregnant and the boyfriend refuses to take responsibility. She is sent away to her grandmother’s house. Through an introduction to aunt Lastri, Santo becomes involved in drug use. Luckily, there is Father Donggo who helps him and commits him to a drug rehabilitation center. There he falls in love with Sister Ester who takes care of him. But the love between them cannot grow as she is a nun. In line with the anti-narcotics "propaganda" theme, Santo is cured and still has hope for the future.
