What else grows on the palm of your hand?

Hayat's life is monotonous and repetitive. Over time, she finds herself lost in memories of her childhood with her grandmother. She spends most of her time alone in her house. She leads a soothing routine between her papers and her bread. Sometimes, unknowingly, the gestures of her hands create a connection between her past and her present. The small details of her life resemble those of her grandmother.
