Valentin and Mirela are a Romanian couple, aged 57 and 52. They live in Podu Văleni, a small village about 40 km from Bucharest. Theirs is one of those almost invisible stories, on the fringes of society. Valentin used to work as a mechanic and custodian, before a second stroke forced him to retire. Mirela suffers from mental problems and, like her partner, from epilepsy. They receive about 1,780 lei each per month (about 350 euro) from the Romanian state, which they use for medicines, electricity and food.
