Natural Light vs. Darkness: The opening scene establishes the contrast between the natural light of the sun and the darkness
of the prison cell. This juxtaposition symbolizes the dichotomy between freedom and confinement, hope and despair.

The Sun and the Sky: Walid's attempt to see the sky against the backdrop of the sun
represents his longing for freedom and connection to the outside world.
The clouds shifting freely symbolize the elusive freedom he desires but cannot attain within the confines of the prison.

The Cigarette as Light: The cigarette becomes a significant symbol of light throughout the script.
Initially, the cigarette represents a source of comfort and camaraderie as Walid
shares it with the young boy. However, it also symbolizes the destructive
nature of addiction and the darkness that consumes both characters' lives.

Emotional Light: As Walid interacts with the boy, there is a metaphorical shift in the perception of light.
The boy's innocence and vulnerability are contrasted with the harsh reality of the prison environment.
Despite their circumstances, the act of sharing the cigarette becomes a moment of
emotional connection and illumination amidst the darkness of their surroundings.

Metaphorical Illumination: The boy's cigarette serves as a metaphorical lantern, dispelling the darkness of his fear and loneliness.
This illumination represents the fleeting moments of hope and humanity that exist even in the most oppressive conditions.

Paternal Light: Walid's paternal feelings towards the boy symbolize a guiding light of compassion and empathy.
