The film captures the heaviness of childhood loss and the lingering shadows of institutional neglect. It doesn't shy away from the emotional weight, weaving together personal narratives with a broader commentary on the impacts of systemic issues. The performances are raw, especially Luafutu's, which feel deeply lived rather than acted.
