They were not planning to come here. However fate has decided so.
Karam, Wael, Mona and Hussein have fled the war and its terrible conditions to find refuge in Cairo more than a year ago. Unable to work or to enroll their children to school because of their "non-resident status", they are having a hard time.
Hoping to find a better life than the every-day bombing and the course for hunger, their expectations were not totally right. Ressources in Cairo are scarce, time passes very slowly as they do not hold a working permit and fear of being found without documents prevents them from going out.
"Prison" is how they call their new-found-life.
