Jakarta Maghrib sees the city in contemplation, during its momentary threshold at dusk. That is the common thread that connects the six stories in the film: Iman Cuma Ingin Nur, about a couple who are about to make love; Adzan, about a relationship between a thug and a mushollah gatekeeper; Menunggu Aki, about housing compound residents waiting for their favorite fried rice vendor; Jalan Pintas, about a couple looking for a shortcut; Cerita Si Ivan, about a frightened child; and Ba’da, when all the characters meet.
