The Three Maidens
7.8
“A family's attempt at matchmaking their oldest daughter and the conflicts that follow.”
Three sisters—Nunung, Nana and Nenny—are being raised by their grandmother in Jakarta after their mother's death. Though the sisters' father Sukandar lives with them, he is too involved in his own work to pay them heed.
