The Ground beneath Their Feet plot

The effects of a massive earthquake in 2005 in northern Pakistan are still painfully visible. Among the many injured are dozens of girls who became paralyzed and can no longer walk. What the rest of their lives will look like is therefore unknown. In Pakistan girls are supposed to become housewives. But how can you get married and have children if you are in a wheelchair? In addition to the heavy physical rehabilitation, Ruqiya and Khalida are faced with the task of redefining their position in society.
