Riyad walks into a bookstore and asks for poetry collections by poets nobody knows. كتب ما بتنباع, books that don't sell, the seller warns him. Perfect, thinks Riyad, and copies a poem into his notebook. What he doesn't know is that Hamsa's father collects exactly these books, and tonight, bored at home, Hamsa pulls the same one off the shelf.
At her birthday dinner he shows up late, angry, in a ripped sweater, without a rose. Then he recites the stolen poem. We watch it build and I explain خلعته قتلة, معصب, and كل سنة وانتِ سالمة, how Syrians say happy birthday.
Next episode: how long before she opens that book?
