Storyline:

Despite being visually impaired, Raya and Randa overcome their disability and started their own business by making perfume and incense to support themselves. The two young women, who grew up together and completed their university studies together in Taiz, enrolled in perfume-making courses because they could not find a job after graduation. Their high-quality products attracted many customers and witnessed a great demand from citizens. They believe that disability is not an obstacle to success and that self-reliance is the key to success.
