Plot

Siska (Christine Hakim), a young woman, was heartbroken after her fiancé broke off their engagement. Unwilling to see his sister depressed, her brother Johnny introduced her to his friend Leo, who is known as a womanizer. Leo manages to make Siska happy. However, unknown to Siska, Leo was only interested in her as part of a bet.

After overhearing Leo discussing the bet with his friends, Siska runs away from Leo and is found by night club pianist Helmi. Helmi blackmails Siska into marrying him, threatening to tell her mother that her father is having an affair with a younger woman. Eventually becoming unable to stand Helmi's actions, Siska returns to Leo.

Cast

Production

Teguh Karya felt forced to make Badai Pasti Berlalu. He later confided to Pikiran Rakyat that he

"... needed to breathe, and pay his respects to his earlier, commercially unsuccessful films. [He] also wanted to visualize a novel."[lower-alpha 1][1]

There was also conflict between Teguh Karya and composer Eros Djarot. Teguh Karya disagreed with the choice of Berlian Hutauruk. He considered her voice screechy, saying "Whose voice is this? Kuntilanak’s?"[lower-alpha 2] and insisted that Anna Mathovani, with her smoother vocals, should be the singer. However, when Eros Djarot threatened to cancel the entire soundtrack, Teguh Karya gave in.[3]

2007 Remake

On Valentine's Day, 2007, a 90-minute remake directed by Teddy Soeriaatmadja was released. It was produced by Astral Pictures.[4] It starred Raihaanun as Siska, Vino Bastian as Leo, and Winky Wiryawan as Helmi.
