Nasser is an old man living with his family at their own house in Gaza. Nasser's two daughters are disabled; they suffer from Cerebral Palsy since birth. They daily need medications, diapers, and special food; this increases the burden on Nasser who cannot work and provide for his family. Nasser is jobless; he does not have educational certificate and he is not qualified enough to have a job. He used to work in building and carry heavy goods, but nowadays he suffers from a serious disease at his back preventing him from working. What makes the matter worse is that his wife also suffers from Diabetes and Hypertension, affecting her ability to help her disabled daughters who need assistance to eat, drink and do other daily activities.
