Asmaa is an HIV positive female in her 40’s. After the death of her husband, she moved to Cairo, where she lives with her father and her teenage daughter. Asmaa suffers from the feelings of social seclusion and fear of her illness being exposed, even to those closest to her.
For months, Asmaa has been suffering from a benign infection and due to her illness, no doctor has agreed to carry out the surgery that could easily treat her.
Asmaa must find a solution before her condition becomes fatal.
Her chance comes when she is offered to appear on a famous TV talk-show, a last chance for her to fight the system and secure her right for treatment. With only hours to decide, Asmaa must choose between revealing her secret, or continue to suffer in silence…Asmaa is an HIV positive female in her 40’s.
