Si Gomar is a 1941 film from the Dutch East Indies which was written and directed by Tan Tjoei Hock and produced by The Teng Chun. Starring Hadidjah, Mohamad Mochtar, and Tan Tjeng Bok, the movie follows a brother and sister who are separated by robbers and almost marry before their cousin recognises them.
After a run-in with robbers, Badjoeri and his son Soebardja are set adrift on a river. Badjoeri's wife and daughter, Ramina and Mariani, are captured by the bandits. Though they escape with the help of Wirama, Ramina dies soon afterwards. Badjoeri also dies, soon after leaving Soebardja with Mansur.
Years pass, and Soebardja and Mariani are set to marry. As they have been raised separately, by different people, they do not realize that they are brother and sister. The marriage is only called off after their cousin Ismail realizes the true relationship of the would-be bride and groom.[1]
