Trailer and Synopsis (watch the trailer here)

When Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) leave their modest comforts in the Philippines for the promise of a brighter future, they leave their families behind to take care of other people’s families in Canada. Who is left to care for them, and their children back in the Philippines? The emotional struggles of these parents striving to provide for their families back home is captured through the raw and intimate lens of family and group therapy, as well as the unexpected challenge of reconnecting with their estranged children who grapple with their new lives in another country.
