Sweet Lime
Eleven-year-old Amra accompanies her mother, Shirin, to pick up her aunt, Hawra, from the airport. Hawra has just arrived from Pakistan for a visit, traveling alone without her young children for the first time. Pretending to be asleep on the car ride back, Amra eavesdrops on the women's conversation, secretly learning intimate details of her aunt's troubling marriage. Before reaching home, Amra convinces the women to stop at the coast for a picnic. Amra devours in delight the sweet limes brought by Hawra, and after, the women decide to go for a swim in the sea, even though they do not have bathing suits. Amra–too shy to join–watches them from the sand. Her mother's phone incessantly rings, distracting Amra away from the shoreline, leading her to discover tragic news. When the women return from their giddy bathing, Amra must choose whether to be the bearer of the tragedy.
