It has been five years since Sami visited France to undertake his studies in engineering. He’s courageous, ambitious, smart, and highly sensitive. Sami returns to Lebanon three times per year, in April, August, and December.
Nada, his mother, is 55 years of age and will not work. When Sami announced to her he will be likely to Paris to review, she was proud but also anxious. Scared and worried, she started sleeping less during the night, thinking about how her son would survive life in France. From your cold to women to food, everything worried her.
Before Sami left, he showed his mother how to use Skype and promised to call occasionally to update her on his life, but he wasn’t sure this be sufficient.
Nada spent lots of her days waiting for that Skype notification to determine and speak with her son. Each and every time Sami returned home, he realized that her face increasingly showed indications of anxiety, which worried him a whole lot. He became anxious but was convinced that his diploma from France provides him using a better life.

his mother’s face and sees something different: she is smiling and appearance relaxed.
