Lida and Askar are both nine years old and are proud to tell others they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They play and fight like any young couple. But neither of them can walk. They live in the Belovodsk orphanage for children with disabilities in Belovodsk, Kyrgyzstan. To get around, Lida, Askar and about twelve other children who live there scoot around the cold hallways on their behinds. Lida and Askar look out for each other in the crowded orphanage and are almost always together. They eat together, play together and even argue together. Despite their disabilities, they are both very active and are among the biggest personalities in the orphanage.
