A trio of eligible, single sisters lives with their widowed father and ageing grandmother, who are more than eager to marry them off. Nunung, the eldest at 29, prefers to stay home to run the house while her younger siblings, Nana and Nenny, flirtatiously party outside. When Nunung unintentionally attracts a suitor, she ends up competing for his affection with her own sister, sparking off a riotous comedy of errors. One of the most commercially successful Indonesian films of the 1950s, this romantic comedy-musical joyously captures the clash between tradition and modernity, intermingling fast-changing customs, fashions, settings, and song styles.
