She is 16. She loves noodle soup, Peppa the Pig and her mom. But she loves her mom the most. Nino is sick since birth. She can neither write, nor read. She can’t even walk without mom’s help. But she wants it so much! She only can call her mother when something goes wrong.

Twelve-year-old Erekle is the master of the house. He stands up early (at 8 o’clock), then he sees his mom off to work, then tidies up, and waits for his five-year-old brother Demetre to wake up. This might have been an ordinary story about a single mother and her two sons. Nothing happens when older brother takes care of a younger one. But! Demetre suffers from the severe disease – hydrocephalus. He cannot walk and talk, he cannot eat independently. Not every adult could be able to cope with such a sick child. But twelve-year-old brother manages to do that.

Her life starts and ends in every 30 seconds!
Anna does not talk, but apparently, she understands a lot and expresses her emotions very strongly. Her grandmother also understands a lot – including how much strength she still needs to cope with everything.

Friends, can you imagine that your beloved, sweetest child in the world lives only thanks to pain killers that slowly but surely kill his little body as well? Can you imagine that you give a dangerous poison to your most beloved creature every few hours?

“I’m lying on the floor, I am foaming from my mouth, I open my eyes, I see my mother and brother standing over my head and crying… it’s clear, I had an attack again… the first thing I do – I cross myself and say thank you that it happened to me at home”.

God, it’s hard to imagine where people live, it’s hard to believe where the state is pushing them: into former dilapidated hospitals, greenhouses, barns. Our today’s heroes – little Anna and her pregnant mother Victoria – live in the boiler house.
