About This Movie
Breaking Stones is a raw and gritty documentary that immerses you in the life of a young Nepali boy grappling with the burdens of displacement and survival.

The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst the relentless toil of construction work. It's not just about the struggle; it's about aspiration, the longing for something beyond the immediate hardships. The practical effects are minimal but powerful—watching the physical labor brings an authenticity that's hard to shake. The performance, if you can call it that in a documentary, feels genuine and poignant, drawing you into Ram's world.
