Sekuntum Bunga Ditepi Danau

(title translation: A Flower on the Lakeside)

Before the Republic of Indonesia was founded, West Sumatra was still steeped in tradition but the revolution soon disintegrates the strict norms. Yulizar's mother passes away in suffering due to her arranged marriage, thus convincing Yulizar to reject tradition. Moreover, her heart is already bound to Burhan. But their relationship is interrupted by the revolutionary war that begins with the first clash in 1947 and the second Dutch aggression in 1948. Meanwhile, Yulizar also sings on Dutch-controlled radio, while Burhan and his friends are in guerrilla warfare in the forests and mountains. Burhan assumes that Yulizar has betrayed Indonesia. When Indonesia gains sovereignty in 1950, Captain Suhud reveals that Yulizar was assigned as a spy and her singing profession at the radio was her disguise.
