The scene opens in the staff room of the hospital where Asum is being treated. Asum and her nurse are discussing the latest developments in the war in Syria. The nurse tells Asum that she has heard the news about the conflict in the Middle East, and Asum asks the nurse if it is true. She says it is, and the nurse tells her that it is. She asks Asum if he would like her to marry him, but Asum says he would prefer not to, as he does not want to hurt the feelings of the other women in the hospital. The Nurse tells him that she would like him to marry her, but she will not do so, as she is afraid that he will find out about her affair with Asum
