The film begins at the end of the 19th century, when the Dutch East Indies entered a new phase as the political elite gained more influence, and the chasm grew, as poverty becomes even more widespread, especially among the indigenous population. Tjokroaminoto was born in a noble Javanese family, living a privileged life of high education and reverence for Islam. However, he abandoned his station in life, witnessing the injustices against his people from the elite and colonial regime. The founding of Sarekat Dagang Islam (Islamic trade unions) became the rallying call for revolution and change. As the elder statesman of Indonesian cinema, it would seem that it was Nugroho's destiny to direct this film. (Hawaii International Film Festival)
