What happens

Tauhid is a 1966 Indonesian drama film directed by Asrul Sani. Starring M. E. Zainuddin, Ismed M. Noor, and Aedy Moward, it follows the spiritual journeys of an author and a doctor during their hajj pilgrimage. Produced with an announced budget of several million rupiah and supported by the Sukarno government, Tauhid was intended to document the hajj pilgrimage while simultaneously presenting a view of Islam that supported the regime's Nasakom ideology. The film, shot on location in Mecca with the support of the Saudi Arabian government, was a commercial failure upon release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
