Khaled has lost his two legs due to an explosion during the events of the Syrian war in Homs city countryside and is living now in Tripoli city (the twin city of Homs) in North Lebanon as he was smuggled to receive medical surgery, and follow-up. We witness the story of Khaled after the loss and the exile, where he lives with his family and struggles daily to make a living by celling perfumes on his wheelchair in a marginalized city abandoned by its government.
