Yousaa is a 40 year old refugee and father of four, residing at Cox's Bazaar. Relatable to other fathers, he spends part of his day playing and cuddling with his two year old, fixing up his house, getting his kids to eat their dinner, ensuring his family is fed, trying to sit and teach them, and praying for a better life for his children. But for Yousaa who observes Ramadan, now he is facing the fears of Covid-19 spreading in the campsite, losing his job with offices closed amid the pandemic, and altering how he practices his fourth Ramadan at this camp with mosques and markets closed and a limited supply of food. A short film, directed remotely.
