Little boy is quiet and shy. Little boy has a crush on a little girl.
They part ways and he sees her years later wearing a veil. He wishes to say hi
but he can't. Little boy is being hit on by boys. Little boy likes to read
books. The boy's dad gets sick, seriously sick. His mom starts cheating on his
dad. He becomes angry and confused. His
dad passes away. He's still confused. Why is he not sad as he should be? Little
boy is older now. He is yearning for a handsome boy, a smart boy. All these
boys just want to have some sex. He feels ashamed about what he does with other
boys. He feels one day he'll be older and all this will end. That he'd have a
family and become normal like all the others. He can't quit, he can't change.
Little boy feels lonely and dissatisfied. He hasn't found the kind of friend he
wanted. He plans to leave his hometown and he does. The young man finds a job.
He gets another job to please his family and fulfill the expectations of making
money. He doesn’t have much time but he begins to forge friendships. This gay
community is not easy to deal with you know. One sad night his knee is injured
and he decides to quit one job. Little boy is radicalized by Cairo, that
monstrous city that grinds its people. He wants to change the world, he wants
to work in human rights. Little boy travels and lives abroad for a few months.
He feels vocal and confident. He's more sure he wants to change the world. He
changes his career. He travels more often. He feels he's doing something and
needs to do more. Revolution breaks out. This is the moment long waited for. It
keeps getting harder and complicated. This fight is too draining. The trauma is
creeping in. the failed revolution, the difficult work, the challenging
friendships. It all sinks in. He finds some pleasure in being radical. Radical
sex encounters makes him excited. He
feels sick and finds out he's got HIV. What's the little boy to do? Quit it
all? Leave his home and family? Become less radical? Become celibate
altogether? Should he come out about it? Can he change the world? It's the end
of life as he knows, but what will he make out of it?
