Synopsis
Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, is slowly evolving into a bigger city. In the process, but along with greater activity came the stresses of modern city life. Maghrib is an attempt to capture the area at the moment when contemplation happens, at twilight, when they understand their true selves.
Iman (Indra Birowo), a security officer, came home after work. Nur (Widi Mulia), Iman's wife, is putting the baby to sleep. Seeing her do this, Iman wants to make love with her. Unfortunately, her mother sees them. Iman leaves, angered.
Baung (Asrul Dahlan) is a free man from Jakarta. He meets with Armen, an old man from Padang. Armen works at a mosque and runs a minimart. In their village the mosque is always clean, but no one prays there. After a night of getting drunk with Buang, they talk at his minimart. Something makes Buang sad, and something makes the village people angry with the mosque.
In the afternoon, Aki is always waiting. He comes after maghrib (twilight) to sell Nasi Goreng for which he is famous. One day, Aki does not come on time, upsetting his customers.
Ivan (Aldo Tansani) gets out from school. He wants to play games, but there are to many players. When twilight comes, Ivan must go home and struggle with his horror story.
A man (Reza Rahadian) and a woman (Adinia Wirasti) struggle to build a relationship for 7 years. They try and fail to arrive at their to wedding organizers before twilight. The man always found ways to delay them.
Ba'da is the end of the story. It shows the moment each character finds their twilight self.
