Immaculate Conception (1992)
Alistair, een Britse vertegenwoordiger van een natuurbeschermingsorganisatie in Karachi, en zijn Joods-Amerikaanse vrouw Hannah zijn er niet in geslaagd een kind te verwekken. Na verloop van tijd begint het verlangen om een kind te krijgen Hannah te verteren en ze haalt een onwillige Alistair over om drie dagen met haar mee te gaan naar een vruchtbaarheids heiligdom. Na een ceremonie waarin Hannah zich tot de islam bekeert en Alistair overhaalt hetzelfde te doen, wordt ze zwanger. Maar Hannah's vreugde over de ontdekking van haar zwangerschap wordt overschaduwd door de verslechterende relaties met Alistair, die een affaire is begonnen met hun vriendin Samira, en de spanningen beginnen op te lopen wanneer eunuchen van het heiligdom het paar beginnen lastig te vallen.
