Plot

Soegiati is the mother of four children: sons Achmad, Idris, and Soemadi, and a daughter named Soepinah. She loves them all, but Soemadi receives the most of her attention because he receives little from his father, the merchant Soebagio. As the children grow, they marry and move away, and eventually only Soemadi is left. Although he begins a relationship with a young woman named Noormala, he does not marry her as his income is not enough to support them.
