He initiates his naive driver Twan in life in the East, having grown up there as son of colonial official Hendrik, now missing. Their adventures intertwine with Johan's childhood memories, especially concerning his native best friend, Oeroeg, who joined the rebellion, as well as their nanny and later de facto stepmother. Conflicting loyalties become tangible in extreme situations.

- Pisang gorng.

Halt!

Hands up... Hurry!

Hold that sten gun up!

That way...

Urug?

Father!

Johan!

Nothing!

Three cheers for the Queen!

Deppoh!

Do you like it?

It suits you perfectly

Real worsted. Good as new.

You couldn't afford that in a lifetime.

You're right, Mr Ten Berghe.

You can go home.

Today is a feast for you too.

- Thank you, sir.

Look, look!

Can it walk over razorblades?

...equalised a little.

- No car can survive otherwise.

Nothing to be done

I'm sorry.

It'll take a week to

get it repaired.

What about the tea?

Or are you changing to quinine?

Valerie!

- Thank you.

No. Auction prices for tea are fine.

The Queen!

- The Queen!

Why should I produce quinine?

Excuse me...

I say, Hendrik...

Lida is a smart lady.

When did she come to the Indies?

- Long ago. She runs a lodging house.

She teaches Johan twice a week.

Look Urug, what a big one!

That can fight!

Put it down.

- No, not with the slug!

And this frog, what about that?

- Just put it here.

Look out, he's off!

- He can't do that?

Ouch! It pecks so creepily!

Johan, don't get yourself dirty.

Urug, go home.

Miss Banning..

If Johan asks

about his mother...

...then say she's ill...

in Holland.

You're the best dancer, Johan!

Your son is a fine lad!

Everybody!

Let's go swimming.

Where is Deppoh?

Ali, call Deppoh.

- Yes, master.

Lay out some towels.

Bring the car round.

Get food and drink ready, Ali!

Come swimming with us!

Brilliant idea!

But it's bewitched, Neneh Kombel!

- Don't talk rubbish!

But Urug says all kinds of

spirits live there.

Ask Deppoh! Deppoh! Deppoh! Deppoh!

Behave yourself, Johan. Really!

You dance well, Miss Banning.

Neneh Kombel!

It was a bat..

Little boys should be in bed.

It's very slippery. Valerie...

Is it far?

How long can you stay under water?

- Moment!...

Valerie!... There he goes.

I wouldn't do it.

- Wait... wait...

One, two,

Go!

- Is your watch running?

Mind your words, Verbeek!

This timepiece was a personal

gift to my grandfather Jan...

...from the regent of Sumedang,

Raden Adipati Surya

Kusuma Adinata.

It's a family heirloom.

Is there a water spirit here?

Is it safe to touch the water?

There is no water-spirit.

There are just water plants.

If we dive in too deep...

we can get tangled in the weeds...

...and drown.

So there is no water-spirit?

Neneh Kombel!

Johan, behave yourself!

Johan!

Neneh Komb...

No! No! Daddy, come back!

Calm down, child. Calm down.

Come on then...

Calm down, Johan.

Have a sip of water.

Calm, yes... calm down...

I'm glad you came.

It's been three days.

Boy, you're so feverish!

Come on...

Why is Urug crying, Dad?

What happened?

It was a bad dream...
