Dasima is a 1940 film from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) directed by Tan Tjoei Hock and produced by The Teng Chun.

A merchant named Winata is building up his wealth, and though rarely at home, he provides his wife Dasima and their daughter whatever they desire.

This comes to a head when a neighbour, knowing that Winata is attending a business meeting at a nearby restaurant, says that he is womanising there.

Dasima eventually leaves home to return to her parents' house, while her father finalises the divorce proceedings.

Although they are eventually married, Dasima is heartbroken to be treated like a servant by Samioen's mother Saleha and sister Hajati.

After Samioen and Poeasa leave, Dasima is recovered from the river by two fishermen, who bring her to Winata's home.
