Zahide, sixteen years old, helps her mother Ismeta. Zahide, like her younger brother Mohammed, was born deaf and mute. In Germany, where the family lived for fifteen years, both disabled children attended a special school, but in Kosovo there is no such school near Fushe Kosovo where they live. The only specialized school is far away in Prizren and the family can’t pay the daily transport or the accomodation costs in Prizren. As a result Mohammed and Zahide no longer go to school.
