Hamida's illness: She spends her days in darkness due to lack of water and electricity. - Video

Hamida suffers from a debilitating physical and mental illness that is deeply affected by the harsh conditions in which she lives. Confined to a small, dark room, she spends most of her days in near-complete darkness – not by choice, but because the house she and her boyfriend, Abol, are building to make their tiny room . lacks access to basic necessities like water and electricity. This lack of light and sanitation not only worsens her physical condition, but also fuels feelings of hopelessness and isolation, compounding the emotional toll of her illness. Despite her many challenges, Abol remains a devoted and caring partner. He works tirelessly to alleviate Hamida’s suffering, often making sacrifices to find clean water, food or medicine, even if it means sacrificing his own comfort or self-respect. Her efforts, however noble, are constantly undermined by systematic neglect and poverty, making every small act of support seem like a battle. Their story is not just about illness in its medical sense, but about how poverty, lack of infrastructure, and social isolation turn a personal crisis into a prolonged tragedy. Hamida’s experience is emblematic of many who perish in low-income communities. Her condition—which could have been treated in better circumstances—has become chronic and inescapable due to environmental and economic factors beyond her control. The darkness she endures is both literal and metaphorical: it represents the lack of public support, the invisibility of her suffering, and the slow, gradual erosion of hope. Yet through Abol’s unwavering presence, we see glimpses of human resilience and the powerful, yet fragile, bond of love in the face of adversity.
