As change sweeps over her small village surrounded by majestic palmyra trees,
Lizzy barely clings to the hope that her life too will change for the better while

for an earnest young man from the palmyra climbing community, Lizzy's plight
is symptomatic of many a thwarted life caught in the cruel grip of prejudice.
