Synopsis
Three sisters, Nunung, Nana and Nenny, live with their father and grandmother. While Nana and Nenny are outgoing, the more introverted Nunung becomes an object of concern when her grandmother realizes she might not live to see her eldest granddaughter wed. In a series of attempts, the family helps to find Nunung a suitor, leading to some unexpected results. This restoration effort, spearheaded by SA Films, and with the assistance of film-restoration laboratory L’Immagine Ritrovata in Italy and PT Render Digital Indonesia, is the first Indonesian film to be restored in the highest 4K format. 60 years after its making, Usmar Ismail’s commercial foray into musical-comedy went on to become his first major success. Tiga Dara continues to exert its influence on modern Indonesian films till today, even inspiring a remake by award-winning filmmaker Nia Dinata in 2016. The screening will include an introduction by the film’s digital restoration director, Taufiq Marhaban.
