Starring Rd Soekarno, Oedjang, Boen Sofiati, and Soehaena, it follows two young lovers who are separated by lies but ultimately reunite at the village of Mega Mendoeng in Bogor.
To spare her husband from this fate, Retnaningsih decides to abandon him and moves from Bandung to Batavia (now Jakarta), where she lives a life of poverty.
One of her spurned suitors, Soekatma, decides to ruin their relationship by telling Winanta that Koestini has spent all of her time chasing boys rather than studying.
[a] Mega Mendoeng was directed by Boen Kin Nam for Union Films, a production house based out of Batavia (now Jakarta) which was run by Tjoa Ma Tjoen and financed by Ang Hock Liem.
[2] The black-and-white film starred Rd Soekarno, Oedjang, Boen Sofiati,[b] and Soehaena; it also featured Ratna Djoewita, Ratnasih, Gamari Fadjar, and Moesa.
Oedjang had acted for Union since its first film, Kedok Ketawa (The Laughing Mask; 1940), while Soekarno and Soehaena had made their debuts in Soeara Berbisa.
Union, though already beginning production of a film set in the Majapahit era titled Damar Woelan, was forced to close shop;[7] it never reopened.
