Plot

Tuti Marini Puspowardojo and Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie have four children, among which is Bacharuddin Jusuf "Rudy" Habibie. Rudy, a native of Parepare, is an aviation enthusiast, embraced by his father. Their family's early years are affected by the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies, moving to Gorontalo, staying in Alwi's family's house, then to Makassar, where Alwi dies whilst in sujud. As an adult, Rudy goes to Aachen, West Germany for college. His green passport, issued to general citizens subjects him to prejudice, as those with blue passports, issued to scholarship holders, are somehow smart, labeling him dumb; Rudy proves them wrong by memorizing a bulk of orders at a cafe without noting them down.

One day, Rudy manages to solve an aviation accident his professor assigns to the class. This ends the bullying on him for being raised by a cannibal father. He is elected as leader of the Aachen Indonesian Students Union (PPI Aachen), a union for all Indonesian students studying abroad, but is criticized for his unusual style of leadership. At a Tielman Brothers dance hall, Rudy meets Ilona, a Polish woman who lived in Maluku. Her love for Indonesia and poetic mindset get them closer, prompting envy from his friend Ayu Puspitasari who has a liking to Rudy. A proposal made by Rudy for the PPI is accepted, inciting a violent political debate.

The counter-revolutionary program runs well. The Embassy of Indonesia in West Germany demands that the government of Indonesia be credited; Rudy rejects it, saying that it is not meant for them but the people. More violence causes him and his allies to be beaten. Insisting, Rudy pamphlets amid a cold winter and faints, but eventually recovers. After questioning his feelings, Ilona decides to move on from Rudy. Meanwhile, Rudy wishes his submarine concept to be made in Indonesia, but financial problems mean it can only be a German product; Rudy refuses to. When he gives up, his mother tells him not to, despite how hard it is.

At Aachen Hauptbahnhof, Ilona is about to go to Poland. Rudy meets her as scheduled. Although Ilona expects Rudy to follow her to Poland to start a new life, he does not. Ilona concedes, saying that she supports Rudy's plan on making Indonesia better. They hug each other and Ilona leaves. As the train moves, they tearfully look at each other.
