Rita, a 23-year-old psychology student, found herself locked down at home with her parents after Lebanon declared a full lockdown due to the coronavirus. She could only communicate with her boyfriend of three years in secret since her Christian parents would never approve of a Muslim boyfriend.
Rita usually met with her boyfriend at least once a week. But like many couples around the world, the pandemic has forced them to deal with the struggles of separation. Rita also has to deal with extra pressure due to the secrecy of her interreligious love life.
