FAMILY CEMARA is a popular soap opera title in the 90s. Although it has not aired on television for years, the characters of Abah, Emak, Euis, Ara, and Agil still linger in the minds of 90s children. This is what later led to the adaptation of this soap opera into a feature film by director Yendy Laurens.
