Omong Besar

(title translation: Talking Big)

Jamal and Kamil sell clothes on a street corner in Jakarta. The police often chase them. Over time, Jamal becomes angry and intends to change his luck by talking big and “selling” himself. He dresses up to look and act like a rich man, but tastelessly. He then uses all his friends to support his act, to be his driver, suit tailor, restaurant waiter, etc. Bravely, he introduces himself to a rich businessman, Broto, who has a mistress. He then meets Rini, a poor girl who is also acting rich and brags about being a film actress. When he becomes successful and is the director of a company, Jamal helps his friends in return, but Rini instead leeches off his money and asks to be married. On the other hand, Jamal’s mother wants him to marry a girl from the same village, Munah. The story then shifts focus to Jamal’s dilemma about marriage.
