    • Synopsis
    • In the year 1947. The Indonesian and Dutch representatives had just signed the Linggadjati Agreement—where the Dutch agreed to Indonesian independence and their leave was imminent. Months later, the Dutch violated the agreement by attacking Java and Sumatra. Once again, they wanted to conquer Indonesia. The events known as The First Dutch Military Aggression.

      During this aggression, a group of Maguwo Air Force School’s cadets, Sigit (Bisma Karisma), Mul (Kevin Julio), Har (Omara Esteghlal), and Adji (Marthino Lio), are eager to defend their nation from the Dutch. Unfortunately, their ambition is blocked by a lot of obstacles because they’re not even an Air Force graduate, so they don’t have the access to planes or even arms yet.

      Another staggering obstacles also comes from the Air Force’s commander led by Air Commodore Soerjadi Soerjadarma (Mike Lucock), Adisutjipto (Andri Mashadi), Abdulrachman Saleh (Ramadhan Al Rasyid), and Halim Perdanakusuma (Ibnu Jamil).

      In order to fulfill their mission, the cadets are seeking help from Flight Sergeant Tardjo (Wafda Saifan) and two anti-aircraft shooters—Dul (Chicco Kurniawan) and Kaput (Fajar Nugra). Their fight is not just about Indonesia, but also about a bunch of young men trying to prove themselves, their friendships, and even their love story—like Sigit and his girlfriend, Asih (Giani Levina).

      More of their story soon will be aired on Kadet 1947.
