ABOUT THE FILM
The film explores themes of poverty, systemic oppression, and maternal desperation, with a twist ending that reveals a tragic secret about her daughter.
A single mother’s world unravels in chaos as her day goes from bad to worse to catastrophic as she struggles to care for her ill daughter. Pushed to the brink by a world that seems indifferent to her existence, she’s forced to confront impossible choices in a society that offers her no safety net.
