Story
Mohamed, along with his friends, has been idle for nearly three decades, loitering around an apartment building entrance in their suburban neighborhood, experiencing boredom and unemployment. Women around them work and pass by without acknowledging them. The changing landscape brings a surge of new arrivals: strollers filled with infants. Mohamed comes up with the idea to start an unlicensed nursery to care for these children while their mothers are at work. Initially met with skepticism, Mohamed persists, aiming to create jobs and respect for himself and his friends. Through this unconventional endeavor, Mohamed seeks not only a way out of their stagnant lives but perhaps also love.
