An old, ailing mother, devises a simple yet ingenious way to sustain herself with a bucket and a rope. But when news of looming deportations in America shakes her fragile world, she turns to the same lifeline in a desperate attempt to reach her undocumented son, hoping that across borders, across silence, a mother’s embrace can still be felt.
The last weekend of the month for the people of Everest Boarding School is a time to re-unite with their families and have a good time. Ten year-old Hari is abandoned on the weekend, as he is unable to communicate with either of his parents, who are separated. This film shows the experiences of everyday life of students in similar circumstances, bound to an education system in which schoolchildren abide by the rules, at some cost to themselves.
