Khalifah works in a beauty parlor. She marries Rasyid to obey her father and support the family. She becomes a devoted wife and wears the veil on Rasyid’s orders. She soon learns that Rasyid has a strict teaching of Islam, when he later tells Khalifah to wear a full body veil. Khalifah obeys his request, despite her father’s objection. But her neighbors start to perceive her as a terrorist’s wife. Meanwhile, Khalifah’s young neighbor, Yoga, has a secret crush on her. Yoga is the one who sews Khalifah’s veil. One day, Rasyid’s secret life is unraveled and he betrays Khalifah.
Directed by Nurman Hakim, Khalifah leans on a strong ensemble — Marsha Timothy, Titi Rajo Bintang, Dion Wiyoko — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
