- Summary:
- Juxtaposes the daily lives of two Egyptian boys from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Abdallah is a single child living with his mother in Cairo. Islam lives with a large family in Fayoum, a village oasis 65 miles from Cairo. Islam's stronger connection to nature and family is contrasted with Abdallah's sedentary lifestyle and preoccupation with digital devices. Unlike Islam, Abdallah has a strong identification with Western culture in his demeanor, interests, and education. Both boys dislike school and love dogs, and aspire to visit America one day.
