A young wife and her husband compete for the best funeral story, painting half-remembered scenes of loss in a morbid game. A mother lies about her child's IQ test results, causing her daughter to re-evaluate past and present realities. A new bride in an arranged marriage fears she is being poisoned by her gentle husband. A woman reluctantly pierces her ailing grandmother's ear—a ritual that prepares both women for their inevitable separation.
