Yara reflects on her memories of summers spent in Palestine, which brings her mother to life like "a bright campfire in a darkened field."
Her mother has a morning ritual of waking up at dawn to appreciate the changing sky, which may have inspired Yara's passion for drawing.
The mother takes walks in the hakoora to connect with nature and returns home with baskets full of fruit.
Yara desires to accompany her mother, and one day she is allowed to join, carrying empty baskets to fill with fruit from the local trees.
Together, they pick fruits and bring them home, where Teta, the grandmother, makes jam and refers to the fruit as "Baraka," a blessing.
During their last visit, Yara observes the warm, close relationship between her mother and Teta as they prepare the fruit while her brothers play with local kids.
The Palestinian community engages in daily life and social activities, including women gossiping and men playing cards and smoking hookahs.
On the final evening, the mother plays the oud and sings, with women dancing and discarding their headscarves, immersed in song and freedom.
The music, laughter, and traditional elements of Palestinian culture deeply affect Yara, leaving her with a longing to return to those times and recognizing how her mother showed her another way to live.
