In Handlezen (Handreading) Dunya and Desie are facing their exams. Desie doesn't bother, she expects to flunk her exams. Dunya proposes to see a Moroccan palmist who makes one nice and one not so nice prediction for the future. Desie's mother Monique gets an unexpected surprise. She's not sure whether to be pleased or not.
