SYNOPSIS: The art of tasseography or reading one’s fate in the remnants of a drink from a cup, is believed to originate from China and is centuries old. This tradition traveled to the Middle East and people started reading fortunes in the grinds of a Turkish/Arabic coffee cup, centuries and centuries ago. The vague images formed on the sides and bottom of a coffee cup are symbols that reveal something about the person and show things that might happen, or not happen, in the future.

Lina receives a bad fortune in the reading of her coffee cup. She laments and struggles with this unhappy fate. A fortuitous meeting with another woman, Maria, opens possibilities for coping with the realities she faces. Through companionship and exchange with this sister soul, Lina finds new avenues to freedom, hope and empowerment. The appearance of a youthful girl recalls the generosity and bounty of the universe. Fate is no longer destiny, but only those aspects of the world which are not in our power.
