Yara wakes up on her tenth wedding anniversary and reflects on her marriage while looking through old photos of herself and her husband, Fadi.
She hesitates over posting a picture and a loving caption to Instagram, questioning who the display of affection is really for since Fadi isn't on the platform, and eventually deletes the draft.
After dropping off her daughters at school, Yara treats herself to a coffee and receives a text from Fadi, hinting at a surprise he has planned for their anniversary.
Yara fantasizes about the possibility of the surprise being a romantic getaway and begins to prepare for the evening, holding on to hope that Fadi has planned something extraordinary.
Fadi returns home with roses and a gift for Yara, who has dressed up for the occasion, and they head to a steakhouse for dinner.
During dinner, Fadi gives Yara her gift—a bracelet with a hamsa pendant. Yara feels a mix of disappointment and hope as she had wanted a travel surprise, but appreciates the gesture.
A tense conversation ensues as Yara expresses her wish for a trip, and Fadi perceives her desires as selfish and unappreciative of their privileged life, leading to an awkward silence for the remainder of the dinner.
Back home, Fadi breaks the news that he's going to Vegas for a convention and dismisses Yara's desire to join him, framing it as impractical and stating she wouldn't enjoy it.
Feeling silenced and ignored, Yara retreats to bed, but is too agitated to sleep and instead goes to her studio to express her emotions through her art and writing.
