The story is about a love affair in Indonesia during the overthrow of President Sukarno. She won the 1983 Academy Award for Best Actress, an Australian Film Institute Award, and also got a Golden Globe nomination. The Academy Award win made Linda the first person ever to win an Oscar for playing a person of the opposite sex.
