Here are the three brothers:
left: Habib the eldest, is the most seriously affected by his disease, as his right leg has shortened ten years ago after an operation of the knee due to a musculo-squelettal problem. Though he remains active and tries to work as a pastry cook, he could not keep his job when the employers learned about his disease ! Ignorance and false ideas about hemophilia prevent him being admitted as a normal employee in any company. His actual employer is the owner of a pharmaceutical company providing him and his brothers with the coagulation factors.
Middle: Antonio, actually suffering from the right knee, is awaiting his operation............ Any delay could end in destruction of the joint and other joint complications.
Right: the youngest, Nassib, is managing very well his disease, and does not present any musculo-squelettal problem yet.
