Bita's struggle to provide for her mother, who is unable to work, takes an unexpected turn when some of her patients accuse her of theft. Her claims of being innocent fall on deaf ears until one of her colleagues confesses something that changes everything. With her reputation ruined, Bita grapples with the mistakes in her life as she searches for a way out of her predicament. Beautifully written and atmospherically compiled, Mehrdad Farid's arresting drama perfectly captures the indecision and uncertainty of its main character, with superb performances from its multifaceted cast.

Eleven directors from eleven countries each contribute an eleven-minute short reflecting on the events of 11 September 2001: A village teacher in Iran tries to explain to her young students what's happened; city kids in Burkina Faso think they've spotted Osama bin Laden; a deaf Frenchwoman in Manhattan writes a Dear John letter to a man who left that morning for work at the World Trade Center; a Chilean remembers Allende; events recall other deaths; a mother endures more than her son's death. Tones vary, as do the locales. Most concern coming to terms with the events of the day, but at least one confronts the viewer with tragedy and death.
