Set in a small Jakarta market hemmed by skyscrapers, the film explores the lives and problems of three children. At the center of the story is the local mosque whose teacher, Bagja, is always looked to for advice. Rindu, whose older brother works in the construction of the mosqueÿs cupola, has been forcedly separated from him and though she likes drawing, she refuses to draw cupolas until she is reunited with her brother. Asih is Rinduÿs best friend: her mother left her father. Whenever she prays at the mosque, she unrolls her motherÿs prayer rug beside her because she is sure that one day her mother will come back home. Bimo is an orphan who lives with his older brother, an egg seller at the market, and feels a great affection towards Cantik, a woman he considers as a surrogate mother. One by one, each of them come to find the love they seek.
