Mamad

It is a comic and tragic story, a film by Sjuman Djaya that is considered one of his classics. Mamad breaks his ethics and commits small-time cheating such as stealing office paper when he has to prepare for the expenses of his seventh child’s birth. This tortures him and he keeps trying to confess and explain to his boss about the problem, a boss who is realistic and would have understood, as he himself is not absolutely clean from corruption. A tragic comedy starts from this misunderstanding. Mamad who is haunted by guilt cannot find peace until he confesses, but the opportunity seems to always elude him, and finally he is even considered a disturbance by his boss. He is fired and takes his regret and sadness to the grave.
