Leela and Mo (Mohammed). Thirty-year-olds with problems in their personal lives. He cannot speak, he cannot read or write. It is difficult to expect close help: Lila’s father is sure that she will not find any boyfriend for herself, and sister Mo is not even going to teach her brother to write her name. The pressure of social attitudes and their own prejudices, it turns out, are not so easy to overcome. The feelings of these different people are threatened. Will their love pass these trials or will it fade by the end of the film? Perhaps only non-standard melodramas, telling about impossible or unusual love, help to truly appreciate its importance.
