Dusk presents several interlinked stories of Israeli reality, all occurring on the same day and all dealing with a crucial moment in the relationship between parents and children.

A single car accident brings together the fate of protagonists from four different stories, as its consequences are gradually revealed during the course of one day. Raffi, a 9 year old immigrant from Argentina, awaiting his belated circumcision operation, learns valuable but hard truths about his own life and his parents. At the same time, Oshri, 21, who just arrived in Israel after an extended journey abroad has to come to terms with her father's refusal to stop for help after hitting a bicycle rider on their way home from the airport. Work weary and divorced, Chava barely pays enough attention to her 6 year old daughter Gili. When she accidentally discovers the identity of her biological mother, Chava, drags Gili on a ride to follow the woman in question on a day that proves to be her most dramatic. These are twilight hours, where the mist that hovers between generations, between worlds, is lifted. These are stories of atonement, of our need for individual redemption and of our capacity to forgive.
