Short Narrative Drama | 25min │Canada 4K│ Colour

Yolonda and her daughter Charlie are ripped apart by illness, an unjust system, and a failure to face the truth.

Charlie still has hope and is adamant in caring for her mother, Yolonda Thomas, as her health takes a turn for the worse. Loyal, she insists on sticking by her mother’s side until the very end. But when her school begins to notice Charlie’s absence, she is placed under a system of surveillance and Charlie will soon come to find that some decisions are outside of her control.
