    Isolation and loneliness are the dominant feelings in Youssef's life after getting divorced from his wife who took the only son they have to live with her. He counts the days till he sees his son once a week. He plays with himself gammon, makes himself some tea and makes breakfast.

Suddenly, he finds himself in a serious situation when the doctor tells him about the necessity of having a testicle surgery.
