Beyond Stairs

BEYOND STAIRS is a movie in ten episodes in which the author highlights the prejudices that society has regarding disabled. For some, a disabled is a useless being; he or she should not go to school. For others, he or she has no right to work and therefore must beg in the streets. For others, a disabled person is a mystical being who could only bear disabled children and therefore, should not get married. In this jail-like universe, the disabled must struggle to prove that he or she is equal, and perhaps even superior, to other people.
