Adopted from Seno Gumira Ajidarma's short story, Sawitri, this former prostitute believes that one day she will meet again with her boyfriend Pamuji, who left her when the government was cleaning up thuggery in her country.
Igo, a former thug, who has left his past behind and sells eggs at the Cinere market. Joe Bandit, Igo's old friend, causes trouble in the market, until they fight fiercely until Joe Bandit breaks his leg and is captured by Commander Herman. Three years later... A new generation of thugs dominate the market area of Cinere: Rocky, Dimas, and Jack. Igo, who still sells eggs, has changed. Once, Jack demanded a deposit roughly at Igo's stall. Igo does not fight. Dimas tried to stop Jack's action. There seems to be something hidden in the relationship between Dimas and Igo. Igo is defended by Dimas but also hated by him. Dimas feels that Igo has neglected to protect his wife, Dimas' biological mother, who died at the hands of Joe Bandit. Rocky, Dimas' boss, has a girlfriend named Vina, who secretly has a crush on Dimas. Vina's and Dimas' love affair ignites Rocky's anger.
