Amira, a determined 9 year old girl makes her way along the river bank to the sea shore, collecting rocks and sticks in a bucket. She's wary of the water, worried of the current taking her and her bucket, but she puts on a brave face and carries on. These fears turn into frustration as she finds herself at the beach, building sandcastles only to be washed way by unrelenting waves. She fights back and stands her ground, outsmarting the waves but is reminded that there are other things to fear.
