Payung Fantasi

A year after the departure of her beloved husband, Eulis Zuraidah remembers the figure of Ismail Marzuki and his daughter Rachmi. The song Payung Fantasi playing on the radio tells the story of the warrior composer's life from childhood, youth to the end of his life. Extraordinary musical talent and skill in stringing words became Bang Maing's battlefield through the Dutch and Japanese colonial periods, until finally Indonesia became independent. The songs echo the burning spirit of struggle to become a completely independent nation.
