The year is 1927. Nyai welcomes many guests to her house for her oldand sickly Dutch husband's birthday. Firm and measured, Nyai greetedthem: from cunning accountants, political activists, musicians, andreligious figures. At the same time, Nyai's tragic past is exposed, and herpersistence in maintaining her identity is revealed. This film is made inone shot as if uniting elements of theater and dance in the setting of atraditional Javanese house. Nyai's life history is told through the entry andexit of Nyai at the door of the house's living room. The living room is astage.

Saat itu tahun 1927. Nyai menyambut banyak tamu ke rumahnya untuk merayakan ulang tahun suaminya yang orang Belanda yang tua dan sakit-sakitan. Tegas dan terukur, Nyai menyapa mereka: mulai dari akuntan licik, aktivis politik, musisi, hingga tokoh agama. Pada saat yang sama, masa lalu Nyai yang tragis terkuak, dan kegigihannya mempertahankan jati dirinya pun terungkap. Film ini dibuat dalam satu shot seolah-olah menyatukan unsur teater dan tari dalam setting rumah adat Jawa. Riwayat hidup Nyai diceritakan melalui keluar masuknya Nyai di depan pintu ruang tamu rumah. Ruang tamunya adalah panggung.
