Ahl Alshaati Alakhar plot

Sylvana lives in Lebanon, Mohammed in New York. But when they are together, they like to take a walk together. While he pushes Sylvana's wheelchair, she shows the blind Mohammed the way. They talk to each other about the constant lack of autonomy they experience on a daily basis and about the physical, but above all social obstacles that mark their lives. When Sylvana was young, other children were not allowed to play with her for fear that her disability would be contagious. The highly educated Mohammed was unemployed for two years as a result of discrimination. In separate interviews they talk about their childhood, which they had to spend in institutions, and their current position in society.
