Impian Bukit Harapan

(title translation: Dreams at Hope Hill)

Amran tries to break the old ways that are still rooted in the plantation where he works. He gets some support from the labourers, but also some opponents, led by Kadirman, who works for Mandra the foreman, who wants to keep his position. Karta wants to marry his daughter, Padmi, to Kadirman, but she is in love with Amran. When Anna, the daughter of plantation head Susilo, arrives, Padmi gets jealous with her relationship with Amran. Soon, the plantation is successfully taken over from the Dutch while Kadirman and his men are defeated. With strong details about plantation labour problems, this is possibly Wahyu Sihombing’s best film.
