Synopsis Of Ambyar Mak Byar Film, Love Story Of Different Social Classes In Javanese Family

JAKARTA - The Ambyar Mak Byar film will be shown in Indonesian cinemas starting January 9, 2025. The film, directed by Puguh PS Admaja, tells the story of the journey of love for two lovebirds with different social classes called Bethari (Happy Asmara) and Jeru (Gilga Sahid). Bethari is a descendant of the king's daughter who lives in the Surakarta Palace, while Jeru is the daughter of a simple living servant.

The social class difference made the two encounter various obstacles, one of which was the blessing of their respective families. However, the strength of their love made the two never give up and try to maintain the relationship.

Di sisi lain, Jeru memiliki band campursari atau pop Jawa Konco Seneng bersama teman-temannya. Jeru dan band-nya memiliki dream untuk menjadi musari terkenal, serta tampil di berbagai panggung besar.

However, at some point Jeru must choose between two choices to fight for his dreams with Konco Seneng or his love for Bethari.

Ambyar Mak Byar has a background story in Java, especially Central Java. However, who would have thought that Javanese culture, one of which was Javanese mixed or pop, became the premise of another story in the film?

The production team has provided a translation of the conversation in the film, so that viewers who do not understand the Javanese language can still understand the contents of the story in it.

Javanese pop culture has experienced rapid developments in today's modern era. Javanese music is indeed famous for its beauty and uniqueness of instruments, such as gamelan and angklung.

In today's era, Javanese music has evolved into a more popular form, such as Javanese dangdut and Javanese pop music. The Javanese dangdut combines dangdut music rhythms with Javanese nuances, while Javanese pop music combines pop elements with traditional Javanese musical instruments.

Moreover, several popular musicians have succeeded in popularizing Javanese pop music to develop as it is today. Call it Didi Kempot, Nella Kharisma, Via Vallen, and others. It can be said that the Ambyar Mak Byar film is one of a handful of films that talk about Javanese pop music.
